  • Difference between the Services.


    Army


    Navy
    This one looks a little photoshopped to me but I really have seen
    small pools like that and beach balls on carriers during steel beach
    picnics.

    Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.

          hmm, so that's the difference!

          I never did a steel beach picnic. we never did anything fun when I was out at sea. We never crossed the equator or anything. I blame this on Clinton and his cost saving measures! . But seriously it costs a lot of money for each day of operation of a carrier. And even when dipping down around the arabian peninsula we were still hundreds of miles from the equator. Basically we worked all the time. Our only fun was stupid bingo games on sunday nights. Bingo is for old people, that is not fun.

              There was supposedly this rule that if you were out at sea for more than 45 days straight, the navy had to provide you with 1 beer. .

              I'm not sure if that rule actually exists. We were close a couple of times when travelling to the persian gulf, but enver exceeded 45 days straight out at sea. We always pulled into Bahrain (actually anchored off- the sea bottom underneath the carrier was only 6 feet someone told me once) or United Arab Emrites- we actually went pierside there. But were restricted to the pier. We could not go off on our own unless with a tour group.

              In any case if I got that beer. I'd have to probably pay people to get their beers as well so I'd at least have 6.

                Hell, on both of my deployments to the gulf we had a steel beach picnic every Sunday.

                Went out of our way a couple hundred miles to cross the equator so we could have the shell back ceremony.

                Our Bingo night was Saturday, and the pot for the last game was over $2000 dollars at one point.

                Wog.

                ACK!

                      We got that once, but it was only Non-alchoholic. But we got 2!

                          The Air Force should use the last picture in one of its ads.

                            They'd probaly get recruits lined up across five city blocks.

                              Once I was in an Air Force dining facility in the Azores. When I had finished my meals I was astonished to find out it was just like a restuarant in that you didnt have to actually take your tray back up like we do in Army mess halls. There was someone there to do it for you.

                              Later on in that same trip, I learned what the difference was in an Army tent and an Air Force Tent. The Air Force tents sported much more comfortable cots and air conditioning. We quickly learned that staying on Air Force Bases was so much better than Army Posts.
