Will and I got married for the extra $1452 Navy pay
Navy Vet, 1987-1991, Honorably Discharged, PN3, USS Sacramento(AOE-1) 1. People get lied to about getting a rate all the time...it is called a good sales job by the recruiter...right, wrong or whatever, it is and always has been the DUTY of the prospective enlistee to find out what the real deal is before they sign...I had to get a waiver to join, but still got a PN "A" School. 2. "...... I came from a great family, but something about me felt out of place. I was that typical teenage girl with problems: insecure, never cool enough, never pretty enough, anorexic at 12, and obsessively bulimic from 14 to 18." Sorry, I didn't know there was a typical teenage girl with problems.....everyone has problems.....obviously, the reader thought that she was pretty enough to put on the cover(repulse me a bit, tho) 3. I spent 9 months a year on average away from homeport, so offbase housing would not really have been an option...but if it was, I would have been grateful....Out of 12 guys in my office, two were married, from beginning of tour of duty until the end...and I thought they were pretty average. 4. This young lady is not a very good writer...I responded to this because it is fairly insulting to the U.S. Navy to blame your problems on them...they are your problems...the Navy did not cause them...find something in your life you do well, "Maggie", and try not to allow blame for the things that you do/did wrong.— May 8, 2008 4:47 p.m.
