Should I try?

first point: I won't argue. not anymore, I'm a lazy bastard with no motivation 'cause my head's too far in the clouds.
second point: accessability to internet on a ship? while underway? reliable?
hang on, my kidneys burst out of my sides from laughing so hard. brb.
EDIT:: and even if I'm not on the ship, which is likely, it's all up to my chain of command to authorize me to take the classes, which is simply stupid. I'm gonna argue that since this isn't my first tour i should have the whole "you need to be here a year before you can take classes" thing waved. (which no joke is a thing. you need to be with your command for one full year before you can even consider them thinking about saying yes to taking college classes. MasPan vouch for me on this one.)

Pretty much true. Most sea-going commands won't let you do online courses the first year that you're there. You can get a waiver if you basically prove yourself competent/prove that you're not going to fall apart from stress.
