Continuing with my series, I will now talk about the problems I see with the enlisted people in the Navy. Since I’ve been enlisted for more than 13 years, I’ve seen a definite change in the quality of people coming in the Navy and I’m not the only one to notice it. > more <

As expected, I’m starting to get some flak about my previous post about Navy Chiefs. Honestly, I don’t care if people hate my opinion. I get enough hate from my “Hawaii Sucks” post. I wrote about my experiences with them during my time in the Navy. Not everyone will have the same experiences as myself; some people probably have great Chiefs who do their jobs. But I haven’t. > more <

I’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 ideas and experiences. Or, if you think I’m a whining bastard, you can tell me that too, though I would appreciate some counter-arguments or good rationalization for why I’m wrong. > more <

One thing I’ve found living in Hawaii (formerly called the Sandwich Islands by Captain Cook in honor of the Earl of Sandwich) is that the locals don’t admit, much less know, the true history of the islands. I’m sure I’ll get a lot of flack for talking about this but I think it’s something that needs to be brought up. > more <
