[QUOTE]Originally posted by Pensive's Wetness: [QB] ok... 1st. you could carry a m-16. during my TAD time on Ike, i was required to qualify on several arms for the types of watchs i stand (9mm, m16a2 or fully automatic AR-15 and the m500 shottie). so yeah, you can carry those weapons, if your duty requires it. Seabees normally qual on those weapons, as do Fleet Marine Force corpsman, anyone in the SPECOPS community, as well as general law enforcement rolls. difference, to me, is how often you actually get to shot and how takes care of the firearms (you or the GM that issues the weapon?) since 2002, and the start of IA, lots of sailors in both the active and reserve, also trained on the 9mm or m16 (m4 if availible). lots of chances to carry. and once you get the chance to carry those arms serveral times, the pain you feel and bitter words, come easy. nobody should ever like to carry those heavy fucking guns, unless that's your whole job (Ahem. [i]Infantry[/i]). thats generally why i'll never bad mouth any type of grunt, marine or army. nuff said. 2nd. what do you want to do in the Navy? serve on small ships? work around the huge cities at sea? fly navy? ASW is still a skill we practice with P-3's and per dium is still per dium. subs require a mentality few possess. they couldn't pay me enough to work around nuclear power that badly... oh and go watch the Carrier-at-sea-09534 what ever on PBS. you know the show that describes life at sea? that a carrier is like a city? It is.... only that the city described? It's the [i]Bronx[/i]... i'll think about more, latter. really need to play a couple hours of DDO, then i'll explain what i do as a AS... *waves* [/QB][/QUOTE]
