OT: I'm in the Navy.

[Will Bozarth]

I just wanted to tell you people that might give a shit that I'm shipping off to basic training in Great Lakes, IL on March 16, 2010, then I go to school to become a Gunner's Mate.

They want you, They want you
They want you as a new recruit!

Congrats! You'll spend plenty of time at the Gurnee Mills shopping mall - we always see a ton of naval people at the mall. Just bought a house not far from there!

 

[Will Bozarth]

hah awesome! I believe my school will be in Chicago, so I hope to hang out with you Windy City bastards on occasion.

Congrats Will. Much respect. My best friend went through basic in great lakes. Let me know when you get leave, and we can meet up. I'm not too far from there.

Sounds like a plan! I'll have 6 months of training for my job in Chicago, so there will plenty of time for some douchebaggery.

Thank YOU guys for being supportive.

Best of luck. Post pics after you shave your melon!

I think us Chicagoans need to schedule more meet ups.

We all live so close to each other.

Best of Luck. In January of 73 I did 13 weeks of boot camp at Great Lakes. I'm sure some things have changed since, but when I went in with real long hair(7 years growth) it was shaved off in like 7 seconds. When our unit would go to the chow hall, all the other "squids" that had been there for awhile called us "newbies" fuckin "raisinheads." Coldest winter of my life, with the winds blowin' off the lakes. I remember it being 90% mental and 10$ physical. We started out with 85 guys in the beginning, after 13 weeks our final count was 53. So, they will can you if you don't pass your tests. Stay focused, move forward and you'll be alright.

10$ phisical? were they acepting bribes then?

 

[BloodSword]

^ yeh, used the dollar symbol. Thanks for pointing out that huge mistake. I hope you feel empowered now. Do you think you should learn how to spell?

Congratulations Will. I joined the Royal Navy straight from school aged 16. I was a WEM(R) which is Weapons Engineering Mechanic (Radar). Basically I serviced and installed radar and missile guidance systems. It taught me a lot about myself as well as lessons for life. I think everyone should have to do some military service at some point.

*physical
*accepting

Honestly dude, you of all people shouldn't give others crap for typos. I've almost put you on ignore due to the headaches that come with trying to figure out what the hell words are supposed to be.
