    There are plenty of shore-based jobs in the Navy. The USS Ford is based in Sasaebo which means Japanese girls. You have to specially sign up and compete for a job on a ship like this. They knew what they were getting into.

      Hell there’s even jobs for the navy in the middle of fucking nowheresville, USA, if you’re a part of naval Aviation. The u.s military is pretty fucking messy in terms of how everything’s set up and where people go. Like why are there sailors stationed in the middle of a desert? Why are there army jagoffs on random fucking islands in the Pacific? Why are marines anywhere other than on boats? Why does the air force need mechanized infantry brigades? Why does the space force not actually operate in space? Why is the coast guard going to foreign countries instead of staying at the fucking coast?

      It’s all a convoluted mess.
