I have a little over 3 1/2 years left since I already reenlisted this last cruise and it is definitely not a cake walk. I got off of work at 0030 and had to be on watch at 0730 after 3 hours of sleep and the watch was a working one. This is definitely going to be a 12hour sleep day hopefully. And the BLACK. The turbo should be shipped off hopefully before I go on the boat next week if I dont have to work this weekend. ****ing H60's man I tell you.

I wouldn't say that. There's a give and a take. Well ok. There's a lot of giving and a little taking. Work hard. Almost all holidays off. Duty weekends. See the world/drinking around the world. Stress. 2.5 days leave every month. And always a paycheck unless somebody messes up.
guess it depends what youre doing. its honestly a different experience at different commands. i used to listen to guys on other ships *****, but when i told them about how bad our boat was, they shut up quick. i did my six, got out, and never looked back. as bad as deployments sucked, the pay was nice. but not worth it. i make more now and i get to come home every single night and dont work a minute of overtime without getting paid for it. so IMO, FTN

Yeah. That's where I'm at right now. I would like to get out and do a tech school possibly Orlando but I really want to buy a house and getting out would make that a lot harder.
no the car is fine. i think he put a PT6765 turbo kit on it and he still has a stock engine. He has a built 2.3 and head going in soon but they are trying to break records with the stock engine.
