wearin a uniform everiiday

yo onlii once in my lyfe have i wore a uniform because i had to..team sports in school was different i wanted to wear that uniform as a part of a team..then i worked at safeway for about 3 weeks and wore a uniform there. but now..being in the navy i wear a uniform everii single day..and its crazii to wake up in the mornin and put on the same thyng 4 days a week and wear it all day lookin lyke everiione else wearin the same thyng..and thynk nothin of it..i mean it used to bother me to wear the same stuff otha ppl was wearin..i mean its impossible in this period in tyme to be completelii original in fashion..but to add your own spin to a style was a thyng i lyked to do..even now when i get off work i wear clothes that i lyke..shoes that i lyke disregardin wat other ppl may think of my style becuase it express me. but durin the day..when im workin lookin lyke everiione else is fine.
i even go so far as to try and look as squared away as possible..to make my uniform look the best it can..boots shined as best as i can everii night before i hit my rack..to keep my cover as sharp as possible..to sew buttons for 2 hours on all my uniforms to reinforce them..to do wat eva i can to look my best as a Petty Officer Third Class and show my fellow shipmates and example of wat doin small minor things to make yourself look as smart as possible in unifrom looks lyke..to care. i used to hate wearin a uniform in bootcamp..wanted my civilian clothes bakk..and when i got to my first training command after boot i couldnt wait to gain the privilege of wearin civilian clothes..and used to look for ways to cheat at lookin squared away..now i take pride in workin.. actualii puttin in tyme to look my best.
i guess its the idea that lookin good in uniform shows that you care about your appearance..that you take pride in yourself..if you dont care how your sleeves are rolled or if your boots are shinned..or if your hair looks lyke you took tyme to do it..then whii should someone else take pride in your work..or you as a person..i mean when i see someone that looks lyke a shytbag i thynk would i want that person workin with me in front of my superior..when they look lyke they dont care and i let it slide it looks lyke i dont care about them..or the image of my work center..a uniform is a funnii thyng..it creates unity between ppl where otherwise their might not have been..so when i put on my unitform i want my shipmates to see that i care about the unity as a fightin in the navy that bonds..
lol..i sound brainwashed..oh well..everiione is brainwashed about somethyn..
