This post-college civilian on our team is a complete piece of poo poo, always whining about how he hates the mission because he can't sleep in or take days off and he's just, so stressed you know? So after six weeks of alternating 10hr shifts (Mids>Swings>Days>Mids>Swings>Days) you get two weeks of relief duty where you take care of your appointments and cover for shifts when people need it. Schedule-wise, he's managed to get every single holiday off for the past six months. He still bitches about how he can't sleep in the day after the holiday. So one guy's got a newborn and asks civvie to cover four hours of his shift (civvie's job when he's on the relief week) so he can take his newborn to the hospital. His reponse? "Well I would, but I kind of want to go hiking tomorrow" and so he flat out refuses to come in, because he "already bought hiking socks." Other relief requests come in, he turns them down. Our supervisor gets involved after suddenly the team is bogged down by an inability to be flexible and civvie realizes that if he "works" 40 hours at any point in the week, he can't come in to cover a shift the rest of the time because it violates his hours limit. So he comes in the first two days and sits in a storage room "organizing" poo poo and "reading training manuals" and I've caught the guy on the lowside phone talking to his wife for like five loving hours. So he's here for 12~ hours a day the first few days so he can deny everyone's request the last four days, and he refuses to cover shift time EVEN WHEN HE'S SITTING AT WORK IN AN EMPTY ROOM ANYWAY. Granted nobody trusts him to do work anyway and he's broken SOP over 12 times and we've had to file reports over it. That's more breaches of protocol than our program has had in two years total, and he racked them up in his first four months. So earlier this week he comes in two hours late because "he locked his keys in his car". He comes in and apologizes to the guy on shift and says "Look, I'll come in two hours early tomorrow to make up for it". Next day? Five minutes late. So that is my backstory for why I'm currently an hour late to relieving this guy, who I called and told I locked my keys in my car. I'm not even dressed. I'm sitting here in my boxers watching Netflix. I'm going to tell him I'll come in two hours early tomorrow and then come in a half hour late and he'll know exactly what I'm doing. His last week is in two weeks, and he thought he was going somewhere better. Nope. He's going to the same place that I came from, and am returning to next month. Where I'm team lead. The look on his face when he realized this was priceless. He really missed his calling as a sailor.

Some people take their jobs seriously and know how to be a team-player, some people are selfish loving assholes...In less than a year here I've seen it occur to varying degrees with MIL, CIV, and CTR. *shrugs*

I guarantee he's committing, or going to commit time card fraud at some point. The government isn't too fond of that I hear.

No one is around. No one is witnessing me do that, but I'm terrified of not being honest about time cards due to some program that may or may not even exist which tracks the times I badge in and out.

Told him I'd come in early today, so now I'm just riding out the extra time and scratching my balls. I ran into a con that was an ex-soldier last night. We're all talking and someone asks me how I like it here, being military. "To be frank, it's not as engaging as some of my other missions have been. I could be using my skillset a lot more." What ex-grunt heard: "To be frank, i've had it worse than all of you fuckers. Especially you, Tom. None of you have ever had a worse assignment in the military. Feel free to tell me all about how I'm being a bitch and you had it ten times worse once." This is his first night here though and now nobody likes his fat rear end. I hate people that do that poo poo. "Oh, someone is complaining. Well, I'm sure I can complain harder than that." Since we're on restaurants to a degree still, anyone know any good hawaiian around the DC area? Putting chicken on top of white rice is to hard for me to do on my own.

You should try the Siam House near Cleveland Park and try the spicy fried rice, it's awesome, been there in 2009 when I was in the US for vacation.

There is so much good food in Chinatown in downtown Honolulu that it's not even funny. I used to live on the corner of Queen Emma and Beretannia and we would go to a new place pretty much every weekend and it was awesome. Little Village Noodle House and Lucky Belly were the poo poo. Also, gently caress Waikiki. Boon fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Jan 24, 2015 |

So they're sending me to be a detachment duty officer on an aircraft carrier while dudes do initial quals. I'm a dumb Marine who's never been on a ship before, much less lived on one for a week, but they picked me. What stupid poo poo do I not know that will bite me in the rear end, and what dumb things am I forgetting to pack in my duffel bag?

Yeah, for just a week there's not really much you absolutely need. Some stuff you can think about if you want to be extra comfy: For toiletries, make sure you have shower shoes and a bathrobe. You'll probably have to walk down a passageway past work centers and other stuff to get to the bathroom. For bedding, some people like to bring a sleeping bag or their own sheets, but for a week-long det you'll probably be fine just using the linens the ship provides. I generally have an entire duffel bag devoted to pillow/mattress pad/sheets/blanket for longer trips. As far as things to bring for your room: 3M adhesive hooks are great for making places to hang towels and such; clorox wipes are handy for wiping down your sink and other surfaces; an air freshener is extremely nice to have; and an extension cord, while not technically allowed, is often a practical necessity if you want to charge any personal electronics, since the socket is usually way up high or out of the way. Just make sure you hide the cord when it's not in use. Entertainment: tablets and e-readers are super popular since they don't take much space. Load up with a bunch of books/games/movies and you're golden. Spend some off time wandering around and getting lost. People are generally very helpful if you're just walking around looking confused. Figuring out where you eat, sleep, work, and poo poo is 90% of your navigation and will happen pretty quickly, but there's always plenty to explore.

Once you know that, it's hard to get lost. If you've ever been to the Pentagon it's a similar concept.
