Why do sailors always get a bum rap?
Yesterday I read a post about "cussing like a sailor" and today it is "not minding what people say about them." I was a sailor for 22 years. We aren't really THAT bad
A little "salty" but not near the bawdy crew we are made out to be.
In the modern Navy you are more likely to find a
in a sailor's hand than a
. Just saying..... & trying my best to disspell the old stereotypes. I know it was just a joke and I can take one.
Being around all different branches of the military, I have always wondered why the Navy, in particular gets these comments, though. Really, we aren't a bunch of foul mouth, drunken party hounds.
Not angels either but maybe somewhere nice in between? Come to think of it though, I did party quite a lot during my first years in the Navy......
but then so did my friends who stayed at college.
LOL!
I am just teasing around Maria -- I really was in the Navy for 22 years but I am not giving you a hard time. Those old sayings were around before I was born and will be when I die. No harm in a little fun.
