i failed the physical, nobody likes fat people
Rofl! You wont be fat for too long once you get in, trust me! My pals have shed blubber like a whale on a diet ever since signing up
I'm a friggin' third-generation military brat, with ancestors right from me dad and his brothers all the way up, and I've been flat hooked by the Navy since I first set my eyes on a warship (must've been a couple of days old
). Grandparents hoped I'd opt for the Army, but trust me, life in no other Service comes close - you civvies have to see it to believe it. Transfers in places other people pay Thomas Cook and Club Mahindra through their noses to reach, friggin' awesome jobs (okay, maybe i'm a fanboy, but I love sailing), sports tourneys all year around in every goshdarned game you can imagine (!), five day weeks, annual cruises to distant lands (did I hear Singapore???), and best of all - all those big huge ubermassive weapons you get to chuck at random things!!! Its a life-long holiday, people!!!
If, ofcourse, you're into that kind of thing, and I guess I really am. Hmm. Maybe I shouldn't be writing this article, its too one sided. Anyway, I cleared NDA, but then I got an NIT in aieee counselling, so I decided, what the hell - might as well give
this four-year holiday a try, and see what its all about. I'm still keen on joining once I pass out, but I'm keeping my options open. I'll let y'all know in two years
