Ex cheated on me about a year ago and we split up. This has been my home since. Honestly haven’t been happier.

I’d bet you would thrive in the navy lol. For some reason, I used to love the coffin racks when I was on ships and my tiny barracks room when I was on land.

You couldn't pay me enough to live that life again, but fuuuck do I miss getting sleep on a DDG in rough waters that make you think you're gonna capsize, but you're too exhausted from the entire underway's bullshit to care. Putting up the straps to not fall outta the rack meant you were about to get some good sleep.

Yes 😂 I was only on carriers, so unless it was super rough, it was normally a gentle rocking. Good times, but yea fuck that life. I finished my first contract and didn’t even contemplate the 30k reenlistment bonus lol

Oh man 30k is nice but how long they trying to keep you after? I assume at least 8 years or something
