The Army Rolls Out a New Weapon: Strategic Napping

being on sea duty … the fact that I could get a nap over my lunch hour and a half

Never had the opportunity to serve on the military — but people are full of shit in that regard. A man doesn't have hair to cut, he hasn't gone blind, and he isn't in prison yet — remember the Bible story of Samson and Delilah? — And all those foreign ladies the U.S. men are expected to serve, and so lovingly, too?

What are you talking about?

I guess you could get away with a "nooner" nap if you had a shit job in the Navy. Watching the poetry in motion of a flight deck on an aircraft carrier makes me think the Navy is better than that.

So...................are you butt hurt that your company (or place you work) doesn't allow naps? Well, if you are too much of a ***** to join the Navy, you might be able to get a job at Google.

I'm all for that!

Guess you never spent any time on a carrier. Yeah, even the line dogs (brownshirts) had a bit of time to catch a nooner. Ever been on Vulture's Row? I have, and I'm guessing you never did. Nooners are a vital part of the Navy, and really help to keep us sharp.

Maybe in an effort to support a stupid policy of official naps in the Military like a freaking kindergarten policy, former Navy types are willing to divulge secret ...gasp ...down time snoozes. Freaking pathetic.

Again...................readily apparent you never served in the Navy. I'm guessing you never spent time in the military either.

I don't know that it's a matter of "policy" as such. You wake up for a brief nap with a comrade/superior in your butt with too much inordinate affection to make back to shore.

Well, if you are too much of a ***** to join the Navy, you might be able to get a job at Google.

Now you've got study what these people look at on the internet before you let them join the Navy to make sure they're not gay, and maybe you get a subscription to Popular Mechanics you didn't order, or an unwanted pizza delivery or something like that, and "the guys" just keep pushing the envelope a little further and a little further, until things get completely out of hand — and there's a superior complaining you're not a team player, or not a good fit for the team or something like that.
