Unless they're calling someone shipmate because it's hilarious. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Kinda wish I'd been on a ship just for the experience of it but the closest I got was a grudging admission about being under the "Department of the Navy" umbrella and a dangling carrot of a MEU if I'd been willing to reenlist. Sorta regret not doing it but I'd had my fill of the routine daily bullshit and was ready to move on. All the Navy guys I knew with the first name "Doc" were cool as hell though, the rest were probably at least all right. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago I got about a week's worth of boat time.
