View Full Version : Help on a Paper.
So I have to write this informative paper for my English class and I'm doing it over the military. If there is anything yall could help me with on your individual branch, like not commonly known, or stuff you wish other people knew, things you find interesting, or just general info. I would love to get yalls perspective on your significant other's branch.
Not a huge deal or anything and I don't need it like immediately but anything you have to say would be great! Thanks ladies!

It's an emotional roller coaster! Some days you love it and some days you hate. And even the the Army claims that they come first and the "spouse" comes second, we all know that's not true :)

Ummm...
What are you wanting to know? There is a lot. I was in the Navy and loved it. I think there is a big difference between men and women in the Military. Not the job that is done, but how men think women can't do the job. It pissed me off sooo bad! I think it made me strive to do more and better then they did. There are MANY old salty Sailors that think women shouldn't be in the Navy. You have no idea how hard it was being a women in the Navy!!! We weren't allowed on the ships until 1994. Pretty crazy huh!!!

Frustrating. Especially when you know half the time you can't trust what they tell us half the time!

efficiently inefficient!! it's my slogan for the army...in their effort to be on top of technology and try to get things done quickly they get things done soooo much slower!!
