    I’m not an American sailor but would still like to know more about this $177 flight…I could fly my whole family to Norway for less than it cost me and my wife to fly to Dallas from Lubbock…

    Just looked this up cause that’s a great deal. Only if your flying out of a few specific airports. So basically just NY, LA, and somewhere in Florida. And when I looked it up it was about $198 (which still isn’t that bad).

    But if I wanted to fly from where im at, it still ends up over a grand. -_-

    What’s the classic speech to the enlisted men before they go on leave? “Do not add to the population, subtract from the population, or end up in the news or in jail.”

    I can hear an NCO in the distance somewhere:

    🎶Some-body’s gettin’ in trou-ble🎶

    Edit: I have been informed that our serving, sailing siblings do not refer to the tier of enlisted members above “Jr enlisted” as “Non-commissioned Officers”. I thought a Petty Officer was an NCO- please advise?

    I’m just a poor, reserve SGT, former Airforce brat, Army Wife combo I’ll completely understand if I’m mistaken.

    Sadly the Norwegians grasp of English and use of subtle joking is probably going to be lost on your average able semen.

    My buddy went on shore leave on Norway once. He doesn’t remember most of it, but he woke up soaking wet in the backseat of a stranger’s car parked in the driveway of a Norwegian home with a dead cellphone an hour after his scheduled flight back to the States.

    As someone who has visited Norway a few times I can safely say that is gonna be one expensive shore leave even without the child support

    Jokes on them. Sailors learned centuries ago how to make whoopie without making babies. Granted, they soon after realized you don;t actually need WOMEN for that, and so another proud naval tradition was born.

    LOL. At first I thought it was for servicemen flying their spouses in to visit.

    Then it came to me.

    Sometimes it takes me a minute or three.
