Dear active duty faggots, Please take care of the monthly thread so I don't have to anymore. Also continue bitching about the prt so I can feel good about not having to deal with it. Edit: gently caress

Why would we take care of the thread when we have civilian contractors to do it for us?

You aren't wrong. Edit: I should add that I'm still a good 100lbs and a blown out knee away from needing a rascal scooter.

IT's and LN's fall under the "No sea duty" rotation now, as of I think a year or so ago, I am pretty sure there's 2 or 3 more rates besides that have that. NAVADMIN 361/12 posted:

But all the CTNs are getting out with fat stack contractor jobs so advancement is insane-o high. 2nd class is basically 100%, first class is close enough that if you aren't a piece of poo poo you will make it, and chief is in the realm of "tryhard". IT and LN are nice desk job rates but that advancement just isn't there.

The CONUS/OCONUS used to be a thing for CTA when they were around before merging with the terrible YNs. I am sure they still bitched about it too. "Oh man, gotta go to Hawaii for my next tour." "gently caress man, gonna have to go to Germany." "England again, sigh."

Haahaha some dudes are pissed that this one fat dude weighs in at like 240 and because he has a thick rear end neck gets measured in at like 18% bodyfat but guess who doesnt have to go to fep. Man cant run half a foot ball field before hes winded. God bless the Navy. Btw, does failing an command check in weigh in count against you? Old LPO is sweating it cause he sucked his way to passing and is probably gonna fail at check in.

Don't think so I don't remember a command check-in weigh in but I'm sure I did it I just forgot. You're *supposed* to be exempt for 3 months after you check in somewhere from a pfa and I did get out of one this way and also had to run one a couple weeks after I checked in. I think I heard this rule went away but not sure But here they just ask us for our height/weight so heh

vulturesrow posted:. I browse somethingawfuldotcom forums at work pretty much all day, and when I have to do anything at all it is basically 10 minutes to show someone how to open their email or some dumb poo poo, or 20 minutes for a crypto change once a month. Excellent use of taxpayer dollars IMO. I got my A+, Net+, Security+ (Everyone who works with computers should have those three, bare minimum), and am working on my CISSP cert. It's not a challenging job whatsoever, but on the other hand I make the same money as a CTN at the end of the day anyways.

I think I heard this rule went away but not sure Why don't people just read the goddamn pub? It is OPNAV 6110.1J. I just don't understand why everyone listens to the loving gouge of random people but doesn't just read the black and white of the governing documents. Poopkitty is, as usual, correct that it is based on command policy and not the OPNAV. Like serious, read some loving paper people. Edit: Thought I would also say, because my life has been doing better in both the personal and university, I have started to channel the hatred I had from those areas into dealing with the Navy so the came off a bit harsher than I wanted it but, gently caress y'all, read something.

If you want help getting a voucher thru Navy COOL (or general CISSP cool-guy advice) let me know, and I'll give you my email. Also, if interested I have some sexcellent SANS courses (books scanned) to recommended (whether or not you get the cert is irrelevant, the courses themselves are 10000%x*10 than the gay poo poo the Navy will put you thru). buttplug fucked around with this message at 07:46 on Aug 2, 2014 |

I didn't actually cross rate. I'm still a Nav ET. And what does it take to make Chief in my rating? An ANAV tour.... Which I cannot do here. So, in pretty much boned for a few more years until I can battle to get out of here.

Because thats a random rear end number and not worth googling if I can just ask a thread, because on a personal level the Navy has emerged as a massive waste of time.

I don't even list mine on my resume. CISSP is legit though. At the end of the day (ie when you get out) CTNs have more money waiting on them with big boy jobs while IT folks are stuck doing helpdesk poo poo the rest of their lives. CTN SUPREMACY
