second point: accessability to internet on a ship? while underway? reliable?
hang on, my kidneys burst out of my sides from laughing so hard. brb.
EDIT:: and even if I'm not on the ship, which is likely, it's all up to my chain of command to authorize me to take the classes, which is simply stupid. I'm gonna argue that since this isn't my first tour i should have the whole "you need to be here a year before you can take classes" thing waved. (which no joke is a thing. you need to be with your command for one full year before you can even consider them thinking about saying yes to taking college classes. MasPan vouch for me on this one.)

>HOPEFULLY this winter the navy with it's all-mighty mercy might deem me with permission to attend long-distance classes or something.

I was pointing out that the modern term is online, in a sassy, sarcastic fashion. Also mentioned it was the most accessible since you know, they can't exactly bring programs to you, besides internet/networking.

I'm kind of aware of all the limitations since I have like, 4 generations of military on both sides of the family, the only reason I didn't join was because BOTH sides encouraged me not too because of that asinine war.

Again tired, maybe I'm just being too critical since it is a shenanigans thread
