Jai: I know nothing about your personal life nor is it my business .... but thank your lucky stars this all came out NOW instead of 29 years down the road like mine did. If she was not "down" with Navy life now ... it would have not improved with age. It would have only gotten more expensive. And a good education is very expensive..... be grateful yours came early. Sorry if I sound caustic --- it's just experience and realism talking -- not empathy.
Courage, little brother ..... just my $20 worth ..... and my last Dear Abby advice ....

I totally feel ya bro. I lost my last girlfriend to the same bullsh!t. But hey...being single aint so bad. And if youre still in San Diego (my hometown), a stud like yourself shouldnt have a problemo mtg females. Especially downtown sd (E Street, the Rox) on Fri and Sat nights.

Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Good to hear you had a POSITIVE experience. Not all 1st Class Aviation cruises are that way. Thanks for posting the Pics....you've got some nice shots there...You may think of submitting them to Naval Aviation News or Navy News with a Story (if you want). I got published in the Summer of 99 All Hands Mag....way cool. Good luck with your last year and service selection!

Oh, and DON'T be "THAT" MIDN, I have read enough about antics so far this summer. In many cases you are going to deployed units, represent well, and don't be a jackass and burden to the unit with childish behaviour that results in msg traffic. Any misbehaviour can and will follow you back home to your ROTC unit. My two cents.

Warning - sea story follows
All the WestPacTraMids collected at the late great Subic Bay Naval Base. My friend and I rode in from the Gulf (of Tonkin) in a WWII era oiler (complete with roaches) commanded by a Naval Aviator. That last night aboard, at anchor in Subic, before going to Cubi Point to fly out to Clark AFB to catch the "freedom bird" back to "the world" next day (those were the days when the U.S. Navy was a mighty Pacific Power) the skipper invites a few of the wardroom JO's and we Mids to ride into Subic City to drink some San Miguel's both there and on the way.
Actually not liking beer (sad confession) and wondering if I would miss the freedom bird, I declined and spent a thoroughly boring night on the ship while my friend went steamin'. 
Next morning, I pass the skipper on the pier. He's just returning - walkin' sober as a judge. My friend was no where. Finally, I met him at the pax term in Cubi. He's looking beat, generally wasted, and somewhat wrinkled. He says that he got dropped off in Olongapo early that morning; he wandered into Subic; proceeded to get lost and could not find the pier. So, dazed and confused, he simply laid down between a couple of buildings to sleep it off and wait for the sun to rise. Sun rose, he's about a block from the pier. He rushes back onboard, dresses and makes it to Cubi just in time. He could have been "THAT MID" but he was lucky.

The difference between the old Navy and the new.USN99 said:
Old Navy = Went steamin', had a great adventure and had what used to be considered a normal night of liberty
New Navy = played it safe, spent the night onboard. Belittles the other as someone that could have been "THAT MID"
I'm glad I retired before this PC play it safe mentality took hold.
