you're new to this aren't you
of course it's pointless you just say "aye aye" and carry on smartly (you'll hear that a LOT over the next few years) |

Maintenance is maintenance. If they want you to do it you gotta. That's life in the military! Some things don't make sense.

Enjoy the time off....when you get it, because soon enough, you'll be begging for it...

Just PT and clean duty? And you are complaining?

What's the difference between furlong and liberty?
Liberty is short-lived, furlong is for long. |

liberty is navy/marines speak
liberty is going home at the end of the work day, or getting to go into town after work when not in your homeport leave is vacation time furlough is army speak and I dunno what it means |

Of course it's pointless. They're training you to expect pointless orders, that you follow without question.
Dig a ditch, fill it up. Get used to it, soldier. |

I come from a landlocked country, so we have no navy.
We have no air, either, so no af. We do have an army, footsoldiers. Leggy, more than army. But we don't have furloughs. So we don't know what we don't have. |

I can not remember what it is equivelant to. i.e It is 7 furloughs to the next town umm that would be a furlong 1 furlong = 201.16800 meters = 1/8th of a mile oh hahaha you beat me to it |

sometimes in dangerous ports (Caracas, Venezuela was one) we would get "Cinderella Liberty" meaning that we had to be back on board the ship by midnight
