Ask me how I really feel Seqenenra posted:You must be in 7th Fleet. If anything horrible or even not horrible happens it is a leadership failure here. I don't know if the policy has changed, but a couple of years ago whenever SN Timmy would have some kind of liberty incident, the first khaki would have to explain to Mr. CNFJ himself what happened and where leadership failed. I was in C7F between 2009-2011. It got so bad in terms of liberty incidents making the Japanese news that *any* incident was followed by an immediate all-hands recall to the ship until every swinging dick was accounted for and whenever the CO felt like letting people go. The entire ship spent more than one weekend aboard ship while sitting in port. If I recall correctly, the GW was "kicked out" of Yokosuka by C7F once or twice and made to anchor right outside the harbor (like 2 miles away from the shoreline of the base, just close enough so cats living on base could see the towers the lived in). buttplug fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Jan 8, 2015 |

It's been pretty quiet out here in terms of liberty incidents for a while, no murders at least. CNFJ and the other commands have started to take some of the pressure off; I think the sailors don't have to do liberty plans, maybe curfew has been removed. Which means that something horrible will probably happen any minute and I should go stock up on booze at the minimart because that is the first thing banned when horrible things happen.

We still do weekend liberty plans, curfew is now 01-05 instead of 00-05, and liberty buddy no longer required for people actually stationed here. Don't know what it's really like in Yokosuka though.

Don't know if it is the galley food or 'cold' snap but I feel terrible. I can't wait for this week to be over so I can get back to my (fake) real life being a student again. Also, how about some actual Navy stuff. quote:Navy boot camp mulls no longer shaving recruits' heads http://www.navytimes.com/story/military/careers/2015/01/08/rtc-boot-camp-haircuts-navy/21439483/ Cue 'stree cards', easier than when I went through, and 'even the military anymore' in 5, 4...

Can you wear the watch cap in NWUs now? I always thought it was just a useless piece of gear.
|
# ? Jan 8, 2015 23:47 |

Useless? That's like the most useful thing if it's cold as balls I believe it's command discretion. Definitely did in boot camp. But I can't imagine you'd be allowed to stroll around a base at 1 pm when it's 80 degrees out wearing one

Our last deployment we wore watch caps because it got cold at night. None of the highers were actually around while night section worked; they were only exposed to the warm day time temperatures and tucked in a warm bed snugly at night so after several instances of chewing out a sentry for wearing them when they were shuttled in to the compound in the morning, they decided to secure watch caps at 09. Had the highers spent more time working to find more bodies to man the watch rather than enforcing bullshit Navy uniform regulations on deployment, we probably would have been happier. To be really Joe Navy though, I think the POD says what uniform items are authorized although here in San Diego, we don't really get cold weather so it's always NWU with working whites/NSU as an alternative in the summer.
