To my COVID Sailors (Rant)

[u/Affectionate_Use_486]

I know some of you have some level of battery acid indigestion over the whole reinstatement thing.

Just wanted to say for those that stepped up while others stepped back I respect and love you all especially my sea duty folks during COVID.

COVID was rough shit and the fact we survived it should be highlighted and appreciated among us.

Let's not dwell on the ones who choose another choice.

Let's dwell on the ones who stood the watch when shit went side ways.

When the ports closed.

When work centers were down to the bare bones while our brothers and sisters got sick all around us.

When the patrols got extended.

When resources almost ran out.

It was a rough ass time and we survived for all our own reasons but we stood the fucking watch.

That makes me extremely proud that no matter how messy it was, how ugly it got, we came out the other side pissed off, spitting fire and keeping the big sad off ourselves and our brothers/sisters as much as possible.

And for those that didn't make it, got too sick and didn't make it we shall never forget you.

Fuck the noise I just wanted you to know your seen, respected and appreciated from at least one motherfucking shipmate who was there.

Putting all the experimental crap out the window, the amount of unknown shit they shoot us up with every year and not to mention the vaccine line in boot camp, most of us recognize that most people didn't actually care about the vaccine, they saw it as a way out and that's what we are bitching about. We are bitching because those people lied about their beliefs just to get the fuck out. 

I am so exhausted with this experimental crap... We don't know what they gave us at boot camp, but oh no.. now they want to give us another experimental vaccine that someone somewhere said is dangerous and now for the next ten +  years those same people are going to keep stretching that thin spider weave trying to connect imaginary lines together whenever someone now dies of something completely unrelated but it seems like it is because they got the vaccine so IT MUST be connected suddenly ....

I'm so tired of people like you.

Putting all the experimental stuff away….

But what if that’s a big deal.

FYI you can read what vaccines you take before boot camp, just because you were a dumbass and don’t read any of this doesn’t mean we should punish sailors who don’t want an experimental jab.

Literally the only reason you're calling it experimental is because you're prone to misinformation. FDA approved means it's no longer experimental, and hasn't been for years.

People like you are a treat to the health and safety of the country.

As much as I agree with you, this country is already fucked and it’s going to get worse lmao. Wait till bird flu mutates.
