Yeah I wasn't even able to go into realgm for a while until recently because all boards and social websites were blocked.

When we leave, We'll go through the Mediterranean and make a few stops. Most of the time Will be spent just patrolling the gulf being that this is the world hot spot.

J-Meezy,

Can you quit being army whenever you want to? Like, okay you have done it let's say for 5 years. Then you wanna stop, can you? Can you just quit?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, what's the salary?

You have to finish your contract. Mine it's for 5 and runs through April of 2015. Quitting in America is nearly impossible since deserting it's a crime and they will find you and you will do jail time. Some people quit overseas like when we pull into a port, they never go back to the ship and they just start a new life in a new country.

Pah I actually pretty good and that is why people stay. I make like $60,000 a year and I'm only enlisted. Officers make over 100 grand. I know that doesn't sound like much since your dad is a successful business man and you are in the world of finances, but it's definitely not bad pay when you add the benefits.

Did you try a VPN for streams and social networks? Was working quite well for me in China.

J-Mezzy · Post #296 » by **J-Mezzy** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 12:59 pm

A VPN? The Internet access on the ship is extremely restricted. No access before 6 pm, only certain websites, nothing can be plugged into their lap tops.

I'm just happy I'll get to see the final since we get the regular fox channel. Also I will get nbc, nbc sports, and espn so I should be able to see EPL, and the world cup

So you ll be lucky enough to see Bayern repeat and Germany fail in the WC final due to Löws wrong tactical approach. Nice.

Must suck to have such a sick team lose due to poor coaching.

Those numbers are really good. That's why so many people are in the army in the US.

What's your schedule look like on a yearly basis? How do you kno where you're going to? Once you go, what do you do there? You were on the ship a couple of months ago. But came back pretty quickly.

When i started i was making like $60k a year and was working 15 hrs a day. I used to put +100 hrs a week. I worked like this for 2 years. So what you're making is very good man.

Well deployments are different for all 5 branches. For us, we usually way in advance when and for how long we are deploying. Deployments for us are usually 6 months, but mine is 9 this time which sucks. We pull into port like once a month and get like 4 days off each time to recharge our batteries.

Before deployments, we go out on the boat a couple of times for like a month to train and work on qualifications. Those were the last 2 times that I was gone.

Mostly, we work Monday through Friday about 9 hour shifts, but if there are things that need to get done, we stay late or even work a Saturday but it's not a common thing. However, when we are on the ship deployed, we work 12 hours shifts every single day.
