Never thought about it that way being to your advantage.. I guess they’ll think twice about letting you go

 

It's about job discipline and can-do attitude.
`
A can-do attitude is a positive mindset that believes anything is possible if you put your mind to it. It is a belief that gives you the motivation to overcome any obstacle through hard work, effort, and creativity. A can-do attitude focuses on solutions rather than problems and emphasizes the importance of taking action to achieve your goals.

 

I never bring up my service unless asked or getting discounts. When someone says : thank you for your service" it catches me off guard. I feel like saying " gosh, it twarnt nuthin "
Really I did 4 yrs in the navy in the late 70s when I got to boot camp Vietnam ended. No wars on my watch. The enemy knew better.
It was more like fraternity life. Alot of partying.

 

We let go of an Army guy. Worst attitude and job discipline. Young guys don’t understand how hard it is to get 100k a year job with a fresh CDL.

 

I know several sailors that married Filipina bar girls and have a happy married life with children also.
