Japan sucks (no really; it sucks balls)

yeah just a new thread to talk a bunch of S**T about Doc...
 
Nahh! No need for that, Carlson! Doc is cool, in a weird sense! HA!

 
yeah every forum needs someone like that.. lol
 
Let me tell you--- the ebi mayo Pizza-la pizza Doritos aren't that good--- It's not the taste, its the chip--- it's sort of corn-mealy and not like a regular Dorito... I can see where the culture-shock could possibly stem from this fact alone.

Normal Doritos should be kind of thin, and get that Dorito-gunk all over your hands. Pizza Chips?? What? The funniest thing about this whole thread is that its most exotic locale is the BASE PX.
 
sorry Yukio i dont have a PX.. just a BX


...
 
hehehe, funny thread. Who would have thought that a statement of one's hate for Japan would lead to a snack about discusion..
 
I prefer snack about discussion to discussion about snack.
I want to know how Carlson knows that Doc has a good grip...

What's the difference between a PX & a BX? Private exchange, (does that even mean anything in army lingo??) Base Exchange---- Now I remember looking up Base Exchange, but not writing it... d'oh.
 
The Navy has Base Exchanges (BX), not Post Exchanges (PX).

Lots of military jargon is service branch specific and can be unintelligible to people in other branches.

I prefer drinking water about discussion to discussion about water. ;-)

I am also curious to this as well.

so this guy hasnt replied to anything posted by you guys, thats a shame. most of us know that there is some good and bad wherever we live. we just have to make the best of it.
 
Nor has he ever signed back into this forum since he posted that. I think he must've been relieved of quite a bit of yen at the local hostess bars outside the base in Sagami-Otsuka only to leave broke and with "blue balls".

I can't imagine what else would make him feel so frustrated with the country. Especially when he lives on base and needn't leave it if he doesn't want to as it would still feel like he was back in the USA. I wish he'd sign back in and gives us a few more details.

Of that I have no doubt! HA! Having been stationed in Japan wa-a-a-a-a-a-y back in the late 70's, I remember many of my fellow sailors were similarly relived of their heard earned yen in bars outside the main gate at Yokosuka.


Chances are we probably won't hear from this guy again. I'm guessing he was homesick and didn't like being away from home. I've also seen homesick military guys react with anger and frustration about the places they were stationed at, like their recruiters never told them they'd travel far and wide from their neighborhoods. Sheesh! To paraphrase the immortal Bugs Bunny, "Whatta maroon!"
 
Well it's either being shipped to Japan, or shipped to Iraq. If I had a choice I'd pick Japan. ;-)

You got that right, homes! That knucklehead doesn't know just how good he has it in Japan! I wouldn't wish a tour to Iraq on my worst enemy!
 
There is a guy that I know who was jerk to anybody that wasn't his friend. Pretty much most of the senior class hated his guts for his stuck up attitude. Anyway, about a year ago he dropped out of college and decided that gaining an education and living a good life in the private sector just wasn't for him. What did he do? He joined the army. From what I heard, they automatically shipped his sorry *** over to Iraq straight out of boot camp. Despite the guy being such a ***** and enemy of mine and several others, I would never wish something like that on him. I sometimes wonder if he's still alive. From what I heard he is, but I only get vague bits and pieces from his folks and others who associated with him. Let me tell you, if I was in the service you either send me some place other than Iraq, or I'm putting a bullet in my brain. Definitely not something I'd wish on people believe me!

Doc
 
You do know that service members have a higher chance of being killed in an auto accident than killed in Iraq, right? So would you rather put a bullet in your brain than get in a car?

I'm not talking about being killed in combat, I'm talking about the psychological effects of war and how it can be devastating for some. I would much rather kill myself than to come back all messed up psychologically from a war, and have to deal with that for the rest of my life. Sure you can learn to deal with it, but you'll never get over it. That's why I would much rather kill myself altogether rather than coming back dead psychologically.

You'd be well advised to eschew marriage as well.
 


You realize that everyone does not have the same reaction to things right? I have been in many "hot spots" and (in my opinion) I'm fine. You meet people on the street everyday who are much more screwed up IMHO.
 
To be fair, he did say "...for some..."

That's why I suggested avoiding marriage. It leaves "some" guys psychologically dead. (Probably more than combat ever has).

I would put a bunch of laughing smilies on this, but you don't see them. Nice one

Thanks for pointing that out Mike. I also meant marriage and several other psychological factors as well. Also I did say "for some". I guess some people just don't know how to properly read when trying to jump to conclusions all the time.
