Speaking of book recommendations, I just finished reading "Annapolis Autumn: Life, Death, And Literature At The U.S. Naval Academy" by Bruce E. Fleming (he was/is a teacher at the Acedemy) and I thought it was interesting. It gives a glimpse at some workings of the academy but also what is like to be a civilian in a military environment specially when one doesn't exactly drink from the same kool aid (hope that's how the expression works, I'm not American)

i will look into it!! But now i get nervous reading about the usna because i don’t wanna know how inaccurate my portrayal of it is. Lmfao. Posting for the rec

#will read it someday maybe #when my reading list isn’t ten kabajillion books long #sounds interesting for like Charlie’s perspective too #civilian contractor type beat #That’s pretty much the saying btw 👍🏽 jonestown massacre reference #it’s not American it’s Guyanese #or at least Jonestown happened in guyana #not top gun #book rec #when i was abroad last week i had a two-night stand with a kid who did a wrestling camp with the SEALs at the USNA #he showed me videos on his phone and it was. Uh. the most hellish possible thing i can imagine #SEALs kicking down your door at 4 am for drills #wild hazing rituals #straight lying to kids for psychological torture #anyway #a girl i know her boyfriend just got into the USNA and she was like ‘so i should break up with him right’ and we were all like ‘…yeah…’#does not sound fun but that’s my limited experience of it
