“100 guys go down, 50 couples come back up.” - as quoted to me by a career submariner

Would (the guy, not the submarine)
Correct choice is both, but you do you.
Not an expert, but I believe that’s a “Come Hither” look.
My dad would always tell me about how many unreasonable people made his life hell in the Navy. Maybe it was because he was too straight and missed all the “team building”.
Man, I wish I cost $7000000. We gotta stop setting unreasonable standards
“Beeing trapped inside of a submarine with a 100s peoples farts”
What about serving your nation by being the captain of a (current) $800,000 electric bus?
Less gay (lol) and more useful to the country.
Less gay
Bummer =/
I know, right? It is a bummer. It’s probably due to the lack of steam and close spaces 🥵
