7 first-world problems only sailors will understand
SUMMARY
Living in American can be tough when you have to deal with problems most people in other countries can't even imagine, such as having so much food in the fridge that there's no room for leftovers. Yes, the struggle is real.
Being a sailor in the U.S. Navy brings its own set of unique hardships, which service members of other branches and sailors from other nations just wouldn't understand. Here are seven first-world problems that sailors can relate to.
1. "I have so much cash in my wallet during port visits, it hurts my butt when I sit."
Yes, this is a thing. You can't always rely on vendors to accept your credit card, but cash is internationally accepted.
2. "The steak and lobster we have every Friday is just terrible."
MRE, what's an MRE? Sailors eat warm meals, silly grunts.
3. "We have to buy small souvenirs during port visits because we don't have anywhere to put them."
Instead, they have to settle for small things like jewelry, video games, and DVDs.
4. "Amazon always gets the 'expected delivery date' to my FPO AP address wrong."
Amazon forgets the part about packages being delivered to ships. What's up with that Amazon?
5. "They called 'general quarters' so I have to be in my rack, but I'm not really tired."
The ship's personnel hate it when people get in the way of their drills, so they make airedales and Marines jump in their racks.
6. "My fat uniform is now my uniform."
Lobster and steak can take its toll on a sailor's uniform allowance. Hopefully by that time, you're ready to become chief.
7. "It's so hard to choose between Master and Commander, Top Gun, and The Hunt For Red October when the ship plays them at the same time."
It's rare, but it happens, sometimes the ship's movie programmers schedule these Navy staples on different channels at the same time.
