Mr. Nice! posted:I still remember the japanese protest boats at basically every port we pulled in to. They would register with the coast guard and would stay in their restricted box. They wouldn't actually come close to the ship. They just sat back with their megaphones shouting "McCain go home!" Do you remember when we started waving and some of them were laughing?

Meh it is kinda nice knowing that its mathematical impossibility for me to advance so I don't have to worry about all that crap. Knew it before I even took the test. Though will say its nice to know one of my good friends was one of the 5 AWV's advanced to 1st so "maybe" he has a shot of getting to stay in the navy as they continue to tell that Rate to piss off.

Glad boats are still good. I always liked chilling for a few weeks on an LHA, Navy dudes were always amiable when they found out you were Air Wing and didn't give a gently caress about Eagles and Globes and swords and high 'n' tights. Then again I'm a good lookin dude and they could have been flirty. I ain't here to judge though

Pandasmores posted:poo poo, how do you loving tear a line? Doesn't it gently caress up the bollard too? Yeah, bollards aren't coming off the pier for anything. The way his line parted was the pilothouse and tugs weren't communicating well. The aft tug was trying to move the ship somewhere, and SPACE HOMOS here happened to be the line captain on the affected line. Sounded like a god drat shotgun. BMC, BM1, (safety observers) and I (POIC) were up on the forecastle and basically hung our heads after the sound and the radio announcement of the parted line. I had to inspect that whole drat thing and splice a new eye on it.

We parted a line once on the Polar Sea in Antarctica on the ice pier. No tugs, just a new JO behind the wheel. Probably didn't help that we used tugs EVERYWHERE except for the ice pier. I talked to my buddy (another SN at the time) and the BMC was just telling him to hold and not check the line on the bow (line 1 I think, maybe 2). He said he saw it smoking (polypropylene line) and then the eye snapped from the bollard and smacked the hull. I heard it way back on the fantail and no one knew what the gently caress.

We were luckily using aramid lines so there was no snapback. Someone would have probably got hurt if we were using nylon or polypropylene.

I don't think I ever saw CG get into those lines. It was all polyprop and then my last cutter used some kevlar lines.

That ship looks like it's sittings in mud. That's a pretty crazy wharf/dock/pier.

Pandasmores posted:drat, those things can kill you can't they just from the force right? Nylon lines are absolutely the worst, but any synthetic line experiences some form of snapback. The aramid lines (Kevlar) only stretch a very small percentage of their length before parting so there is little to no snapback. Nylon lines stretch around 50% before parting and can result in violent and dismembering injuries.

i think we parted 4 lines in seychelles. we moored in because the seas were so bad you couldn't run liberty boats and their harbor didn't have a break so get hosed BMs.

Looks like about 60% advancement over my 5 divisions. Sonar techs dragging down the average again.

Welp, Great Lakes is still full of terrible rules and incredible micromanaging. Out of the 11 people in Gas Turbine "C" school, 2 of us are stuck in the A school barracks, following some incredibly well thought out policies and idea's concerning Fleet Returnee's and Per Diem. Everyone one else in my class is here TAD, so they get the nice comfy single room barracks. Thankfully the instructors here know us as Returnee students so i'm cut out of 95% of the normal BS. It just wouldn't be the Navy if everything went smoothly, so I suppose i'm thankful for not ending up somewhere worse.

I am going to guess that 66% of STG2s advanced, 1 STG3 advanced, and 1 STGSN advanced. I'm pretty sure no one in my unit advanced so there will be some sad faces come next weekend.
