[Artemisia] OT: Going away Party

[tangl]

We're a whole family of Navy folks so good luck and God Bless from all of us in House Holloway! He'll come back with some *great* stories!

Here's some advice from the Naval Sages over here:

A monkey stealing your ball off the fairway in Thailand is one stroke.

Don't pick up the change the waitress gives you in Singapore. Yes, it's an interesting trick and yes, she must have amazing muscles there. Leave the change.

If you get the chance to become a Shellback, don't wimp out on the Wog Ceremony. Do something memorable on Wog Revolt Day, the day before, like getting your hands on a mike and stirring up the revolt. Besides, Australia is super cool!

Don't decide to do a surface ship instead of a boomer just because you don't think you can go an entire tour without seeing the sky. Believe it or not, you'll discover you won't be topside much anyway, and the extra $5K+ for sub duty is NICE!

Write your mother. She misses you.

Best of luck out there and if you get the chance to invest in stock about to go public, take it. You're in the frickin' Navy, dude, the safest place in the world for investments. Worst case scenario, you end up eating at the mess hall or galley and wearing a uniform every day. You'll soon discover that won't really change if you invest in something. Best case, you'll get a hardship discharge because you need to be home to manage your fortune.

Oh and take classes to get your degree while in the Navy. Trust me, you won't really have anything else to do, and it will matter after you get out.


Love and kisses, Dub Essa and Owen,
