#Naval Training

(via Drilling up sailors with mountain climbers toward one hell of a week.) Who thought that the way to get to the Fleet would involve so many mountain climber steps? the uphill battle was fraught with battered egos, torn ligaments and never ending exhaustion. But, I never quit.

Garp getting out of Fullalead and getting updated on Wano is so

"Luffy took out Kaido? Hahahaha! That's my grandson, isn't he cute? Then again, if all he was gonna do was beat up pirates, why couldn't he just become a Marine, that shitty kid just lives to spite me, he's so. Eh. *sees his new wanted poster. squints. looks up. looks back down. looks up and points* My grandson's a brunet."

"Yes, we know Garp, but–"

"This kid, whoever he is, is wearing white. My shitty grandson doesn't wear white. White clothes just don't stay white when he's wearing them. I don't know who this is, but it's not Luffy."

"He's literally got the straw hat hanging from his neck!"

*GASP* "This punk stole Luffy's hat? The hat that Red-Haired Shanks gave him? That he swore to become the Pirate King on? The one that his whole crew name and Jolly Rogers is based on? Good. I'll have to thank him. After I beat him up for mugging my shitty grandson. Of course, Luffy should've been strong enough to defend himself in the first place, so it's his fault, but just on principle. I'll let the punk keep the hat after and everything."

the tone of, “you’re my new back-seater? from lemoore?” makes way more sense when you spend time looking up what a “fleet replacement squadron” is, as well as how long it takes someone to go from the naval academy (assumption) to an O3 Lieutenant (canon) 🤔

Sherlock Holmes is truly the most dramatic bitch alive. This man had basically been at death’s door for weeks, and Sherlock is still like “I gotta hit him with the dramatic surprise reveal, I don’t care if it kills him” I hope he never stops

(via From getting the boot to no second chances and getting carried away.) After leaving boot camp and going to A-school In San Diego, I found out what freedom felt like. Also, what life in the Navy was going to be like, and the realities I would need to face. To often there would be "no second chances."
