I could care less about DADT or not because it never stopped me, or anyone else who was a valuable worker. I plan on going back too, but now on my terms. I finished my time honorably, which was almost 3 years. In retrospect he wishes he had not been so hasty, and it was a very difficult period for me adjusting to his sudden disappearance until two months later I get an e-mail explaining what happened. It ended not because of anything to do with DADT but due to the nature of being forward deployed, poor communication skills, and a problem back in his home which he felt forced him to get admin separated so he could get home immediately. I managed to have a relationship with someone from another ship while I was in, and it was the best part of my time. I served all of my time during DADT as well as being FDNF. I laugh when people call me a “Seaman” because while the Navy does have them – only specific jobs begin as “Seamen” I was a FIRE man, aka a SNIPE not a SNIPER that’s something again different altogether.Īs for this romance movie thing, I can’t watch these fake hollywood military movies because they get everything wrong and they hire people to act out roles they have NO CONCEPT to the reality of. You can call us service members, vets/veterans, or troops if you are talking about all of us as a whole but we are different. “Soldier” refers exclusively to the Army.
Thank you everyone who said we are SAILORS.
