Are you the fittest in every situation? When you go about your day, are you not dealing with huge corporations (ie a collective group of people with a common financial interest) who dwarf you financially speaking and could ruin you without protections within the laws. Do you want those...

Or we are talking about the tons of other things the government restricts or regulates to “protect” the public. An 18 yrs old can take out $50,000 of unsecured debt with no plan for repayment putting themselves into debt slavery. But God forbid that same 18 yrs old wants some beer on the...

If you were visiting another country wearing an American flag tshirt and someone said “Oh hey, someone from England.” You’d likely correct them, right? You aren’t just gonna be like “Too right you, Gov” and start acting British for the rest of the interaction. This is just something that is...

Not really. Just pointing it out as a potential source. Yeah. It takes deliberate effort to remember your own mistakes when addressing others about theirs.

Yearly gets my vote. Something cheap like Supertech oil and filter shouldn’t break the bank. And I probably wouldn’t put anymore than half a tank of gas at a time. Keep it fresh.

Henceforth, I would like to be referred to only as your Sea Daddy.

That’s what you call your buddies though. And you’re using the correct slang to describe them. That’s way different than the topic at hand which is a civilian mislabeling a service member who I would assume they don’t know even otherwise they would know a SEAL isn’t a soldier.

Typically, when you’re being referred to by a generic term like “sailor” by a fellow sailors it’s pretty much derogatory in its intent. If somebody says “sailor” or “shipmate” as your title then you screwed up, you’re in trouble or they don’t like you. Or maybe even all of the above. It’s kind...

Seaman is generally referring to enlisted ranks E1-E3 and also based on the specific job.

Yes they do. And no they would not be called sailors.

Your friend or whoever is confusing similarities in roles across different branches as being the same things. If you’re in the Army and piloting a boat are you now called a sailor?

No.
