According to a report from MS NOW, the USS Abraham Lincoln wasn’t resupplied because Iranian strikes destroyed a key Navy resupply base in the Middle East.
I worked as a civilian for the army for 30 years. So yes, don’t enlist. They use you up then discard you like soiled toilet paper. It’s always kind of been that way.
If you survive intact and make it to retirement, or just transition to civil servant, it’s one of the best pension plans available.
But it’s the surviving part that’s tough. I was GS and crawled away on my hands and knees after reaching my 30 years. I really wondered if i would make it the last couple of years. So glad to be out.

I’m married to a Navy veteran I know :( they recruited him at 17, that shouldn’t be allowed imo, manipulating little kids to feed the meat grinder.
