    1. I'm used to it.
    2. Can't be no worse than sleeping on a submarine.
    3. I'm used to it.
    4. Can't be no worse than the retarded people I work with everyday hounding me for stuff.

    Hey who knew that my time in the Submarine Service would match up to truck driving.

    Oh yeh? You ain't seen nothing yet. At least the people on the sub had the same training that you had (for the most part) and there was an actual chain of command.

    And when you think of the people who actually trained you for sub duties. Do you recall ANY of them being an E-1 or E-2?

    That's what's in your future :)

    BTW, your dispatcher will be an E-1 that has delusions of being an O-8, and plays the part to. And his boss thinks he's the Commander in Chief. And his boss, thinks he's God. And none of them have ever driven a truck.

    Well when I was qualifying, if that E-1 or E-2 had his dolphins then yes, they trained me.

    With the way kids are these days...the chain of command is not what it used to be.

    I deal with people like you discribed on a daily basis. Trust me the military isn't very military at all.

    Well, in a sense it does. Just not if you measure it in miles per gallon.

    For my boyfriend, it has definetely been bad directions. Everything else is minor compared to not knowing where he is going.
