Parameters Are Normal Thanks to Navy Training

So being in the Navy is fun mostly because it's very hard to explain what I do or what it's like. Everyone's favorite question is "What do you do out there in the middle of the ocean for 6 months?"

You know what I don't know, but we sure as hell keep busy. Shit is always, always going on even if nothing is going on.  Sometimes I get angry because teachers, laywers, prostitutes, doctors, movie theater ushers, etc never have to worry about explaining what they do because people just know. 

But then I remember that the above occupations don't have commercials to show the world what their job is like.   And if the Navy is good at anything, it's accurately depicting the reality of Navy life. Have you seen a Navy commercial lately?   It's a good thing that I'm all about deceiving young and underprivileged Americans because that's pretty much what they do. I'm sure very few people actually take the ads at face value, but who knows.  Despite their blatant over exaggeration, they are pretty bad ass and I love watching them. 

If you like Godsmack, you're in luck: 

If you're from an urban area, you too, can join the Navy:

The Navy sucks and won't let me steal this video from them, but it is secretly my favorite for obvious reasons. 

The Best of the 80's:

Now it's only fair to take a look at how some other countries do them and by other countries I mean Japan and Canada. 

Seamanship for love in Japan:

Don't fuck with Canada:

So that's what my job is like.  Not seamanship for love in Japan or Canada pretending that they're important, but the other videos.  But secretly if you really want to know, watch "Carrier" on PBS.  It very accurately depicts life at sea.  Now please stop asking.
