Episode 7 - Watching the seagulls fight over puke: Entering the Navy, 1969 Sea Stories and More with Jim

- Diari
This time I try to explain what it takes to be sub-human - per US Navy standards. Boot Camp was not easy on two main levels: it was physically tough and mentally draining as it was designed to break you down so they could build you up. However, it was clear that whether you screwed up or not, the superiors made sure you screwed up, made sure you felt like you screwed up or were penalized for someone else who screwed up.
And then there is all the puke.
