ever been on the high seas?

I've been on ship rolling like that. Scared me but I couldn't let a squid see a Jarhead nervous like that so I cheered with them for a greater roll. They told me if it rolled all the way over it would right itself.I asked what happens to us if we're out on deck like this? They just laughed.

Scariest thing this Army guy has ever experienced and I have over 6 years in combat zones. Like most others I love the interservice rivalry but have a huge respect for those that I outwardly ridicule.

@rhouse we were still climbing over the side of the ship on cargo nets into small boats to hit the beach. I like saying I don't go to the beach much but when I do I come from the other direction.

LOL. Exactly why I joined the Army. @kentex35

I've been on a very rough sea in a very old flat bottomed boat and I honestly thought it was going to snap in half

@Travelbug was it a LST?(landing ship tank.) They were flat bottomed ships that transported tanks, trucks and AMTRACS-amphibious tracked vehicles, personnel.

@kentex35 it was this one, the MS Oldenberg
