I remember my first Navy check after boot camp. I was thrilled that I had GUARANTEED WORK for the next 4 years (unless I did something stupid), a roof (so to speak) over my head and 3 squares a day. Better than many 19 year olds today. AND bc I did it for 24 years, the gift keeps on giving.

Yep, finished A School and was offered OS3 for an extra two year commitment. I said "hell no, I'm not sticking around that long". In the end I retired as a CDR.

I appreciate you giving 24 years of service, a difficult thing to do under good circumstances. My wife and I, both 20, were married several months before I went into the Army in 1968. My first check/ cash was about $100 for the month. Needless to say money was always tight especially when we had our two kids. With an early out I did a week less than three years. The post military benefits have far exceed what I took home during my nearly three years of service. BTW that 20 year old woman and I recently celebrated 56 years of marriage.

My first year in the Navy, I was making $99/month. I got a check for $38 every other Thursday. I was 17. I'm 77 now, and from that day to this, I've never been as financially independent as I was in those days. I went three years without owning civvies. Good days.

Thanks for enlisting, based on your age it was during the Vietnam war, you could have avoided military service but didn’t. My guess is you also didn’t have the same family responsibilities at 17 that you had after your service.

@@glennrishton5679 I actually enlisted after receiving my “Greetings from the president of the United States”. Got what I describe as a blue light special which allowed me to enlist for 3 years with a 1 year guarantee choice of duty station. Normally that M.O.S. required a 4 year enlistment with a two year choice of duty station. Part way into my enlistment I changed my M.O.S. But stayed stateside except for the short time in the RVN. As an E-5 I with base pay, pro pay, dependents , hazardous duty , and everything else it was about $500 per month. On the bright side when overseas there was no income tax, one would have thought that would be an incentive to stay longer. Hint, it wasn’t.

I wrestled for the Army back in 96, back when we were at Ft Benning before we had the team move to Carson. The current wrestling coach for the Army, Shon Lewis, was one of my wrestling partners. Our program is basically an Olympic training program, and we wrestle against NCAA teams all the time as well as international tournaments. Hometown heroes aren't always the ones that succeed as you get all sorts of wrestlers that come to tryouts. During my tryouts we had 160 people try out and after about 30-45 days you end up with about 30-40 wrestlers, and you have to know/learn Greco Roman and freestyle. It's a meat grinder. I wrestled in the 52kg category and wrestled dozens of NCAA wrestlers, foreign opponents. I was ranked # 3 in the US for Greco, and I placed 3rd in the Olympic trials in 96 but failed to place in the team tournament. It was a great time on the team, and saw a few friends make it and place in the Olympics.

I joined the Navy to sing. There are 2 groups that travel the world and sing and they're called the Sea Chanters. When I got to classification and told the dude that I'm here to sing he looked at me and laughed and said Son you better pick something from this list that included submarine technician, and some other stuff that was mildly interesting. One choice was a Corpsman. I said what's that? he said a corpsman provides medical care, essentially you do more than a registered nurse. Now I couldn't even stand the sight of blood, but one thing I found out is that 90% of the Corps School attendance across the street at A school in the Great Lakes were females so I said sign me up for the Corpsman. I couldn't even stand the sight of blood. Then after A school was over, they split our class in half and say this side of the room is going with the Marines to provide medical care on the front lines and this other side is going on ships and Naval hospitals. I was like what? I joined the Navy not the Marines. But let me tell you something, I ended up getting my RN working for the VA for my entire career and to this day it was the best decision my father ever made.

WAY more accurate than you'd imagine... I was working the gate one night, and a guy rolls up to the gate at 10 and 2.... Oh no..... He rolls down the window to show me his ID, and it smelled like the mens room at the bar..... Oh no..... I said to him " I'm about to ask you a question, and I want you to listen real close, cause I'm gonna ask you how much you've had to drink. If you say 1 beer, I'm gonna call for a breathalyzer, and if you say 3, I'm probably going to just give you the DUI, so remember, the correct answer is 2 beers, do you understand?" He says yes... I take a breath, and ask, how much have you had to drink.... I could see the gears turning, and I already knew we were both screwed..... He smiles and says, I didn't have any beers, cause we were doing shots all night!.... I turn and see my relief standing there, so I turn around, hand him the guys ID, and say the guy needs directions to the airport, and I walked away..... I thought he was gonna be mad at me forever, but when I saw him later, he thanked me, it was raining all day, and he had to go in the process the guy.

The first four years that my husband was in the Army, we got paid once a month. The split pay came as a big surprise when he was off in Desert Storm. And the recruiter lied to us too. Both of our dads were career soldiers. That recruiter in North Carolina was telling me how beautiful Kansas was and how much we would love it. I replied: "I left Alaska to come here. And you're telling me that KANSAS is somehow more beautiful than Alaska and North Carolina? C'mon... really?" The fact we both kept telling him our dads were career soldiers (and my father-in-law was still active duty!) did not change his BS script. (after four and a half years in the dirt brown Kansas, we got sent to Savannah, Georgia- which was beautiful!).

Two beers, okay two pitchers of beer. I was in the Navy, Army Reserves and Navy for 23.5 years. In the Army Reserve my Captain was relieved of duty because he didn’t maintain good order and discipline in the company. In the Navy in 1985 a sailor received the Navy Achievement Medal and five days later was given a “for the good of the service discharge” because of the trouble he got into off the ship. I don’t know but when he received the medal I suspect the ship already had orders to discharge him. And then he saved an airman that had blown off the USS Enterprise at 2200 in December before we got back to San Diego.

As a FORMER irresponsible drinker in the Corps, remembering all the times going through the gate and the ONLY moment of clarity I have from the night is me showing my CAC to the guard and saying nothing but “rah” (and yes it’s lowercased for a reason 😂) and the next thing I know I’m driving off and wake up in my barracks room…I know it’s not right but either those guards the at least 13 times that happened were looking out for me, or Chesty Puller was, the world may never know.
