So, as stated earlier I'm fast approaching my retirement from the Navy. Cool. I'm not going back to sea. Lots of reasons I don't want to do that. Which I really want to blog about but I don't want it to sound too negative, so I have to mull it around in my Smart Guy brain for a piece.
You're not going to believe this but one of the things that concerns me most about leaving the Navy isn't getting a job, it does, or the realization that I haven't had a real job for 20 years, it does. One of the top things on my list is my "colorful" language.
See, I curse like the proverbial sailor. I've been pretty restrained here on my blog. I realize not everyone wants to hear me say fuck every other sentence. I tend to say it alot! I'm not exaggerating either. Fuck, fuck fuck. See what I mean? I am the kind of person that can say it 3 times in a sentence. I tell people of all the vices I've given up, smoking, drinking (for the most part), sex (I am married ha ha), that's the one thing that's been the hardest to stop doing. I can manage it in certain company, and in a church but eventually a shit or damn will spill out. I really really need to work on my language.
Maybe I'll need some sort of Sailor re-hab.

You need a grandchild (a toddler works best) to follow you around calling your a poopie mouth. I'll loan you mine. LOL
Can I sign up for this rehab, too? I really don't want my daughter's first word to be the f bomb.
Yes, I too love using the 'F' word, and even when I attempt to slow it sometimes it just slips out.
That's why I've taken to using FARKING instead. Starts with the same letter, and when you catch yourself about to say it out loud, you've already made the 'F' sound...might as well follow it through!
I don't know what to tell you brother. Grats on your near retirement!!!
I was an Instructor for my last tour, so I had to clean up my language there, and my son was young.
Do some volunteer work at a pre-school...
I understand your concern. I fight that battle every day - not real good for a female sales manager to curse WORSE than most males.......tends to create a bad impression.....
I see a post beginning....well, as soon as the coffee kicks in. ;-)
Just get a job in either a plant or all male environment.
One of the reasons I like working in a plant is so I don't have to censure my speech much, plus all the rough and tumble males think it's so cute to see the little female engineer curse worse and more then them.
Sure am glad I am not the only one that just can't seem to get that word out of her vocabulary. I have a major problem with it. Just waiting for the day when I slip in front of my Mom who probably had never heard that word in all her 70 years. I will never live that day down when that happens. I caught myself saying an ugly word in their church Monday night. Good thing I was only talking to the town Mayor who just so happens to not be able to control his mouth either.
Maybe we need to all check into that rehab.
Ya, I have 5 and 7 year year old boys. I have been good about not useing that word in front of them. The shits and dammits do slip.
I like the idea of using an alternative when I feel it coming.
Hey Barmy maybe we can use "Frak" instead.
Thanks Gym. BIG BIG relief.
Or the ever popular 'Oh fudge'
Despite having been in the military, I didn't have that word in my vocabulary...that is, not until I had teenagers.
And you'll appreciate this video:

Mrs. Who that's awesome.
Thanks be to Gott that I don't have a problem with cursing or saying naughty words. Even being a Marine.
You poor fucker...
I've tried to substitute words like farkin' and frickin', but I just have to roll out the biggie once in a while.
I understand what you mean, though. My husband curses without thinking about it and it scares me - all it will take is one person at his job to report him for that and he'll be dismissed.
LOL at T1G!
Good gosh, look what you've fucking started. We're all writing about it now. lol
Hey man... I only cuss like a RedNeck, I've always aspired to be able to hit the height of the "proverbial sailor". 'fore you hit rehab, I know this is a lot to ask, but, would you mind sendin' me that fucking cussin' manual. I want to be good at somethin' and cussin' is probably my best shot damnit.
