if you make it through your time as a nuke without a dui or njp you're probably a square!!!!*


I was and am most assuredly a square, though I never noticed a higher proportion of nukes doing stupid poo poo compared to topsiders. Maybe things are different now.

i had bros with 2 duis, one guy got a dui @ over a .3, domestic violence convictions swept under the rug, you name it shipmate!!! that was probably one of the only cool perks about being on a sub they really couldn't afford to kick you out for stuff especially if you weren't a retard(drugs were still an auto kick though)

yeah, the nukes generally partied harder and dirtier than anyone else on the boat. Granted, they were also a lot better at keeping poo poo on the dl so it didn't get around as much, but I know fo sho that there were several people in teh engineroom who were maybe, possibly, hypothetically getting high on the regular.

if you hear something on a sub, and don't know what it means, it's either something technical about equipment, a buttsex joke, or (most likely) both.

There are fewer more time honored traditions of the submarine force than butt-sex jokes. Honestly, my first thought when I heard they were putting chicks on subs was "Sad, there go the gay jokes.".

Women can be just as depraved as men, maybe even worse. Once everyone gets over the fear of sexual harassment charges*, it'll be business as usual again.

Power school is the easiest your nuclear career will ever be. You have full privledges to enjoy life, are not in Norfolk or Groton, dont stand 3 section duty, dont stand watch, dont bust your balls in the engineroom, arent on shiftwork, arent on deployment, dont know what a shipyard is, have the lowest amount of working hours of your career, and are still filled with hope that it gets better from this point.

I loved the poo poo out of power school. I'm so glad that I appreciated how awesome it was when I was in it, but then again, I had utter dread for what was coming at the end of the pipeline, and rightfully so. Easily the best time's I had in the navy, one exception being T-Track (which I understand is kind of lovely now), and the one time I got augmented. And even the augment only lasted for a week and a half instead of two and a half months. The fuckers gave the 'OMG you have to be back here right away its a military need!!!' and I had to rush back from leave the day after going on leave (which was a 14 hour drive by the way), fly out to Guam, and I get there and nothing is any different. They wanted me so they could pull a bunch of nukes off the watch bill because our EDMC was a piece of poo poo who couldn't do his job. Seriously, the Logroom Yeoman didn't stand watch, the EDMC's sidekick didn't stand watch, and there was another permadrill guy who didn't stand watch.

I guess the reactor needed another hot happiness injection. Rant over.

I'd say the best part of the pipeline is at prototype after you qualify, because there's really no reason for anyone to make you do anything at all other than occasionally show up. Plus you're living out in town and getting paid bank. This assumes you're not going SPU. I was living it up for almost two months, I think I stood two watches and had to stick around for field days but that's about it.

There were huge mechanical issues with the MTS's when I was going through, and I didn't actually get my watches until a couple weeks before graduation. Heck, I finished my comprehensive exam before standing any watches. So when I finally qualified there was hardly any time left :( At least I wasn't dinq the whole time.

The real shitbags are destroyed until they ~go sad~, the real superstars are overworked until they absolutely give up on life and quit (or ~go sad~). About the only people who really thrive are us mediocre types.

I'm just as anxious to hear it as you are, but thats all I know right now. DCPO happens to be my SLPO. He's in the classroom explaining :siren:NOFORN:siren: to one of my classmates when the duty phone rings. "NNPTC Duty Chief...yes sir...oh goody, no I haven't had THAT one yet", runs for the door, stops on his way out to explain that he has to pick up the CDO from jail. Asked to clarify whether from jail or just at jail, he grins and says "he's in handcuffs", then leaves. I'll get the details tomorrow.

Not near as good a story, but still a great one nevertheless. I always love hearing about gate guards tackling an O-6 or something.
