Simpsons - Naval Reserves

I can confirm this is accurate: after every drill weekend, my unit goes to the bar.

the roundest man I ever saw was a Vermont National Guard platoon sergeant, in uniform, shopping at Wal-Mart in the ready-made sandwiches section. It was a beautiful scene, honestly. And by round, I mean if this man had a few more pounds of whale blubber in his back, he'd be round enough to seal the breech and be fired out of a large cannon.

This is a parody of those 70’s Navy commercials. “It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure.

Army Reserve here...
1 night a week, 3 hours parade / drill followed by 3 hours in the boozer drinking tax free beer

I find this funny considering my brothers deployed more frequently as a Reserve Officer than when he was active duty in the Navy

Great episode-I liked when Homer asked the Captain if the Poop Deck was what he thought it was .

Honestly this seems like the perfect job for Homer

I was Army reserve for 8 years, and this is hilariously accurate

[GodOfVictory]

I love how contemptuous the ad is toward the Naval Reserve. It makes no effort to make it look or sound useful or heroic, lol

I’m from Lubbock and this is the most honest showing of the navy ever

[raynmanshorts]

I never knew military recruitment ads could be so honest.

On the other side of the Atlantic, we have James Bond, Commander, RNRV - Royal Navy Reserve, as created by Ian Fleming.

In this 23 second clip there’re 4 jokes, all of which are hilarious. Which is more than what is in a 23 minute episode of modern Simpsons.

After leaving full-time duty in the Navy, my sister finished in the Navy Reserve. In Nebraska.

Most of that time, you're drunk off your ass 😎

Is the League of Women Voters the 16th or the 18th line of defence?
