I had a coner chief on the boat, in charge of the PRT program threaten to put me on it because I refused to waste time undressing to be weighed. I was 155 with my full uniform on, including boots.

    Stay strong nukes. I’m dumb as shit and I made it through, 6 and out. Got a nice job now too. But honestly wish I took more advantage of my Naval career instead of hating it all the time! Hope y’all can find ways to make the most of it.
