    greetings and salutations!

    My name is Jacob, and here is a little info about myself

    I was born in concord CA and moved to South Lake Tahoe at the age of 3 when my parents got a divorce. i lived with my mother and sister for about 6 months before my mother fel lin love with the best stepfather anyone could ask for. After they got hitched and popped out my little brother we moved up to Montana where i spent most of my life. i met a girl in middle school that i became good friends with and in high school fell in love with <3. we dated for a year and a half, we had our ups and downs but it didnt work out in the end </3 ='(. She deemed me a failure because i had no plans of going to college or any future plans and i was a bit overweight. She broke up with me with 2 months of high school left =/. after this event i began feeling worthless and slipped into depression. My best friend at the time helped me get back up on my feet, and we eventually began a FWB relationship, but she met a good guy for her so that came to an end. i was tired of montana and needed to get out. i was at the county fair in august 2011 and was hanging out with my friend who had just signed up for the navy, he made it sound really cool and the next thing i knew i was talking to the recruiter and was on my way to boot camp in may of 2012 (it takes a while to process in and you have to wait for spots to open up so it takes some time getting in) boot camp was long and stressful but it wasn't too bad overall. after boot camp i went through my schooling and met a girl that was also from montana! We hung out a lot and had started talking about getting into a relationship, but that came to a halt when her parents said it would be a bad idea -_-. After i left Great lakes IL i went to Virginia Beach for another school. after that school i had the "pleasure" of driving from Virgina Beach VA to San Diego CA. after 3 days of driving and a couple weeks on leave with my parents i reported to my first ship. i'm enjoying it here in San Diego, but i have a problem =/ Since my relationship history should be a bad luck Brian meme, i have no self confidence and have slipped into a mild depression =/ but aside from all that feel free to ask any questions or if you wanna chat i'll do my best to hold a good conversation =) If you are still reading this you are insane but thanks for listening =) you have a great day!
     
    What's your MOS? (Or whatever y'all call it in the Navy.)

    How long does it normally take to shine your boots?

    Did you guys have to eat MRE's in boot camp all the time too?
     
    questions from O07_Eleven

    Would you like to be friends?

    absolutly!

    What's your role in the navy? I don't mean your rank but your job, like what were you trained to do after bootcamp?

    I maintain an air search radar and help with the on board weapons systems most of wich are for self defense, but primarily operating and repairing the radar when needed.

    What do you look for in a girl?

    i would like someone who enjoys videogames/ anime, they couldn't be super religious cause i'm against it and that would cause problems. as long as they are okay with cuddling i'll be happy =3

    How much and what physical fitness stuff did you do before enlisting?

    none, TBH i still stuggle with motivating myself to get to the gym, my friend says he's gonna whip me into shape after the holliday period ends so we'll see how that goes.

    How did you find Pokémon?

    my BIO father sent me and my sister game boy colors for Christmas in 2000, i got silver and she got gold, that and the mixture of it being popular in school i was hooked, but i never lost interest in it in all those years.

    Why/how did you get on this forum?

    when i bought PKMN X i decided i'd like to get involved with a forum that enjoys Pokemon too, one Google search later i found this nice welcoming forum and have enjoyed my time here very much!

    I have being diagnosed with depression as well so I'm not the best person but I'm always here if you need someone to talk to

    thanks i'll be sure to take you up on that in time =)



    Questions from Kyrul

    What's your MOS? (Or whatever y'all call it in the Navy.)

    My rate is Fire controlman (FC) and no that dosent make me a firefighter, everyone is trained to fight fires in the navy, FC's take care of the combat systems aboard the ship, like missles or big guns, the gunners mates (GM) take care of small arms (.50 caliber and smaller) while fc's take care of big arms and various types of ordinance.

    How long does it normally take to shine your boots?

    i can get them looking pretty good in 15 mins if i really put some effort into them.

    Did you guys have to eat MRE's in boot camp all the time too?

    no, we had the equivalent of government public school food, you shouldnt ever have to eat an MRE in the navy unless you're a corpsman (navy medic) and get attached to a marine command, or if you go boots on ground and go help the army. the food on the ship is the same stuff we got in boot camp, but i'm sure it's still better than MREs so i'm not gonna complain.
