I was taught to swear by a senior chief boatswain's mate, and I spent some time as a public defender (where you couldn't make yourself understood by your clients unless you used "gutter talk"). I am quite fluent in foul language, and therefore I have no reason to criticize anyone else, hobbyist, provider, or civilian, for using it.my thoughts exactly sugar
That being said, there's a time and a place you shouldn't. If, for example, a provider (or hobbyist or civilian) is the kind of person who, when invited to lunch at the Archbishop's mansion, would say, "Your Excellency, please pass the motherfucking salad", I'd probably question how close a relationship I'd want to have with her/him.
Cheers,

I have had a few slips of the tounge in my time. It does not fit well in a inteligent conversation, makes you look and feel pretty ignorant. Although such conversations between Navy personel is well understood.
