  Wow, that's a really noble dream you have!  You are so brave to aspire to join the navy, I don't know that I would have the dedication to join any of the armed forces.  I'm curious though, is there any specialty you're interested in, or is it just serving for your country?  You have such a surprisingly clear view of part of what a soldier deals with, you described it quite well!

  Cutieface.......I would suggest you to consider deeply this dream of yours ...
  
  Are you really sure about it? Serving the Navy is not that romantic thing you seem having in your mind.
  A sailor life is made of discipline, duties, obedience, often dealing with requests from superiors that are just plain stupid and yet you will have to obey them anyway.
  It means leaving behind your family and your country, and it means going to wars too.
  
  I know exactly what it means because i have been married to a Navy guy for 8 years.
  
  I know all about his frustrations, about him working 3 days in a row and coming back home only 14 hours and going back again. I know all about the crazy shifts, his growing insofference to that life (he left the Navy at the end) and all about the risks..
  He went to the Gulf War. He disappeared for 3 months. He left one day for going to what supposedly was a normal working day and went back 3 months later.
  
  The Navy didn't send us families one single letter to let us know where our loved ones were....nothing...i ended up at the ER with a nervous break down...just to let you know......;-)
  
  This life is very tough on the sailors and on their families.
  
  
  So i hope you will do your researches and learn as much as possible about being in the Navy....knowing exactly what to expect from, putting aside the romantiscism and the noble ideas...
  
  If at the end you will still think that this is your call.....well.....i wish you all the best.... as long as you will go toward your dream with your eyes wide open.
  
  Hey, wait a moment....you said tipsy?....lol....

  Dear Hegemone,
   
  It haven't always been my dream, [just so you know] ;],
  But i'm sure I want to do this and yess it's to serve my country. But I'm also interested in other things, not just that. It wouldn't be enough reason for me to do this kind of thing. Personal reasons but also my love for the sea, adventure. Being away from home is not always fun I know that. Only I think it will be such a loving feeling to finaly come back. Storys to tell, people to meet. Also I think I would like working togheter with the people and many many other things. I would like to specialise in being a sailor.
   
  Only I wrote this thing for an other purpess [ don't know if that is spelled correctly]. Not for me [ though I really want to join] but for a friend, the one I was talking about in my other and first story.

  Dear Ginger,
   
  I know it will be hard time also. I thought about that a lot. It's a sacruvice I want to make. I will not 'just join' though. Here where i live there's a great school to learn everything about the duty first. How to handle you wapon and get lots of dicipline [ if you don't have that.]
  Going on .. damn I don;'t know the word for that! here it's called 'stage' . You will work at the place you want to be later. Unpaid. It'll be arenged by school and you can see what's it like there and you have to join. I hope you understand what I mean. =]
   
  And in the end of the year you haven't liked what you've seen, you can always just quit.
  So I'm not that deeply in.
   
  Thanks for your coment though!!!
  I can always use the advice everyone gives me.
  And like I said just yet, this story wasn't for me.
  hihi.
  I know I whas tipsy. Shame shame =D
