do you get seasick?

i've gotten motion sickness before (i'm not totally immune) but it's relatively rare for me

usually more with reading on a bus or spinning around a ridiculous amount and such (or long road trips with stale air)

quite weird. and i imagine the humidity would mess with your guitar's intonation.

also, what does the navy do during the off-season (i suppose some might call it peacetime)?

[cheshireclam]

also, also, if you're intrigued, it might mean nothing more than that the recruiter knows how to do his job...

that is a possibility.. but they didn't really do much oher than throw facts at us

although there are some pretty perks involved.. I *am* assuming that they are exaggerated and/or the bad points avoided/minimized... but still it seems really tempting
and mostly from a writer's standpoint
it is something that I cannot fully experience from the outside looking in
and going in from this perspective puts me in a position where, even in the worst case scenario, I come out with what i went in for
and it will give me a physical experience that I would otherwise have to pay for as opposed to them paying me for it.

there are still several considerations that need taking.. but at the moment I am leaning towards doing it.. Probably won't decide till at least the new year

i can think of worse (maybe not worse, but... more permanent?) cases, but i suppose that's not exactly productive thinking. i sorta understand doing it for art and excercise, it's just (...) actaully, you know what? nevermind. any thought i opine on the matter will probably be based more in unfounded overimaginative fantasy than reality anyway.

(how about) it'll be a good opportunity to meet people you otherwise might not.
