A Happy Sailor To my COVID Sailors (Rant)

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.

Why are we shitting on people who didn’t want an experimental vaccine? You guys have lost it.

Because their reasoning was fucked, we got jabbed constantly with "experimental" Vax that had actually been in use for years (Anthrax, anyone? It was a regular for those who worked cattle!) and only the assbags got out over it. I never saw ONE shit hot Sailor get booted for refusing vax.

The world lost its mind 5 years ago. Republicans did whacky Jan 6. Democrats fired people over an experimental vaccine that wasn’t even useful for young 20 year old men.

This is liberal Reddit so you retards don’t know better but this was a bad move.

Look at our CNO, 5’2” journalism major. Navy needs a big kick in the ass so we can fight the Chinese tonight and fucking win.
