!!!INJUSTICE!!!

I've always known that the Navy doesn't give a shit about
the dependents. It's all about the active duty. Who give's
a shit about the wife (or husband) or kids they may have
at home. Fuck them. Who gives a shit that MAYBE they'd
like to do something other than keep house and watch
children all day. Getting fatter and fatter each day.
Watching the life drain out of themselves with each
passing moment. Well, okay this is an exaggeration, but
the part about the Navy not caring about dependents is
true!

As I've mentioned before, I'm getting slightly bored with
my daily workout routine and I'd love nothing more than to
go to the gym. Snookums gets to go everyday (it's
conveniently located across the street from Delta Pier
{where the ship is docked} usually at lunch or right after
work). I however, do not get that luxury because the gym
has no childcare, children are NOT allowed and there's a 6
month waiting list at the child development center (which
is located a convenient 15 miles away from the gym,
anyway). I went to the gym this morning to inquire about
their policy on children and what type of accommodations
they make for dependents and I got NOTHING. They have
nothing for the dependents. So, pretty much I'm shit-out
of luck. I was so pissed off about it at the time that I
honestly wanted to cry (out of anger, I'm an angry-crier.
It's a curse). I've already made plans to contact the
Commanding Officer in charge of either the gym or the
entire base. I'll do it, too. I'm pissed off enough. Last
month they send us the Tricare newsletter (our medical
coverage is called tricare and they send us a waste of
trees every month) and it went into great detail about how
Navy dependents were 13% MORE overweight than civilian
families and how we were just getting bigger. No wonder,
we can't get any help getting to the gym! It's completely
unfair. I swear to God, I'm going to find a way around
this.

Did I mention I'm 179 now? NO THANKS TO THE NAVY!!! I'm
doing okay on my own, but I don't want to hit a plateau or
get into a rut I can't get myself out of. Why does
everything have to be so complicated? I just want to use
the elliptical trainer!!! I'll get back with you about
what I find out.
