As do you there, salty dog. Apparently, you've never shared a liberty port with a tender. Fucking embarrasing.:icon_rage
And you could probably wait until you've EXPERIENCED the fleet (not just read about it) before you try bagging on someone who's harmlessly seeking advice.
Unless you're on welfare, I think you're right.
Seriously, though, why not military aviation? It's a longer commitment, but you get all the benefits of the SWO world plus a few extras (kinda obvious, I guess) with not as many of the costs (i.e., we have "crew rest", which if you don't know, is a minimum required amount of rest).
For what it's worth, a lot of those who have served (in any job in any service) are very proud of what they did, and rightfully so - especially those who had the hardest jobs - and don't regret the work they did or the time they spent doing it.

SWO's carry a BM's whistle on a chain to summon their herd of other SWO's...those SWO's will degenerate into a pile of self loathing and hate that will destroy any living creature within a 12 meter radius and leave the original SWO unscathed to carry on with his day...
If that fails then they throw their shoes at the enemy...

Pickle are you playing D and D with the NFO's again??? Too funny tho.
Sorry "pmasters". No "issued" sidearms for SWO's at OCS or at the ship.
The concept is kind of interesting. If JO's were issued sidearms at sea and in-port, I believe more department heads would be forced to "reflect" prior to calling away the morale suppression team and other administrative non-sense.
For example:
A JO is assigned to write a message.
30 minutes later- DH reviews message and says: Do this message over.
30 mintues later- Do this message over, it's not right (repeat twice more) without telling the JO what's wrong with it.
Do you think the SWO on SWO cannibalism would stop with SWOJO issued sidearms?

I was in our weaponeering program today calculating delivery parameters for practice bombs and little did I know that after GP there is the heavy inert, after heavy inert is practice bombs and after that, are SWO's. Did you know that releasing a SWO in a 45 degree dive at 500 knots does ths same as a MK76! And if you want to hit a hardened target, you don't even need a penetrator!
To be totally correct --- you really should put a shotgun shell in his ass so you can see the puff of smoke when he impacts.
It will facilitate spotting your hits ...
