		<title>Not selected for officer school</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Though this is another problem with the Navy, I won&#8217;t categorize it with that group of posts, at least not without supporting statistics.
I applied for the FY11 Limited Duty Officer program but I was not selected. Honestly, I don&#8217;t know what it takes to be picked up. The requirements for civilians to become an officer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Problems with the Navy (Enlisted)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Continuing with my series, I will now talk about the problems I see with the enlisted people in the Navy. Since I&#8217;ve been enlisted for more than 13 years, I&#8217;ve seen a definite change in the quality of people coming in the Navy and I&#8217;m not the only one to notice it.

		<description><![CDATA[As expected, I&#8217;m starting to get some flak about my previous post about Navy Chiefs. Honestly, I don&#8217;t care if people hate my opinion. I get enough hate from my &#8220;Hawaii Sucks&#8221; post. I wrote about my experiences with them during my time in the Navy. Not everyone will have the same experiences as myself; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Problems with the Navy (Chiefs)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m interested in writing a book about my time in the Navy, especially the problems I see. This, and future, blog posts are mostly my thoughts and ramblings as I think of things to write about (if I ever get the opportunity). So, if you are so inclined, feel free to post comments with your [...]]]></description>

		<title>Once again, no time for hobbies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I&#8217;m on another ship, I don&#8217;t have much time off anymore. I&#8217;ve been planning on rewriting my Python programming book, writing the sequel for GUI development, and some programming projects I&#8217;d like to do. But the way my command runs things, I have less time off now than I did when I was [...]]]></description>
