My Captain’s Mast, A Navy Trial

His eyes were fixed behind me for clues of our actions. Okay, we'll come down. Dude, you should have heard yourself. All high pitch and s***. I shut the door. I go to Theresa. She's getting dressed. The rest of the night was unremarkable. I can see why Brandon was bothering me. The party was pretty much dead. We hung out for a while and had more drinks. Before I knew it, we woke up at 05:45 A.m

Being made an Example of

People were out of their seats, mingling. I was patiently and quietly reading a Marvel comic, waiting for her to begin teaching. She calls out to the class, but her voice only added to the white noise. She presses her lips together and stretches them down in frustration. Her eye scans from one disrespectful student to the next. I look up at her. Eye spots me. She found a small crack in concrete. All she needed was one strong blow and she finally gets through

The commander admitted to using me in my exit interview. He wanted me to pay for what he overheard while he was fishing. He then asked if I was into big band music in the same breath. How satisfying would it be to chuck some of his stuff overboard? But I was still government property at the time, so it's best to leave and serve out the neck. Next few weeks on my best behavior

I could think about when you were talking about that s**** of a substitute teacher was teaching Chong or whatever, when I do the colon. Thank you. I don't know if you know it, but it's funny, and that was a bunch of bullshit. I'm with you. Getting sick of people using it. I get it. I anyway, I'm sorry. So weird. But I'm back. Oh, s***. Okay

I'm glad to hear from you because I'm catching up to where I stopped. But that's okay, because I need to get to this point, and then I need to continue what I have. And now that I have motivation to continue writing, I'm excited about what's going to come across. I'm still juggling everything, but this allows me to spend more time to myself and work out what I need to work out. So thank you

I can see the bag flying out the 🪟😂 @Gitdown

Hey, Josh, I love this story. I cannot believe you threw that teacher's bag out the window. But also, I understand the whole scenario. You just described it's like some teachers, right, want to find the weakest link to try to rein everyone in, and you're not even doing anything. Like, you are the least person violating the classroom rules in that moment. And then also, I think, to have teenagers

@PKBriggs

I think under other circumstances, I wouldn't have gotten in trouble, because, like you said originally, as long as Cologne is on the ship at this time, he's okay. He's on the ship. He just passed out in his room. We just got to go down him and wake him up and get him to muster. But I think it depends on the officer. The officer could have done it under other circumstances had Shane not tell him that I was with Theresa before

You did your thing! 😁

You totally sound I mean, these stories, like, you had an excellent time. I would imagine if I ever went to decide to do military service back then, like, that's what you're supposed to, is to do. See the world, work, serve, and also enjoy yourself. My uncle. He's an Air Force man. Him and his wife, they made careers out of it
