Well, deployment is where we really chopped things up. We split everyone up into static watches. So you'd stand both 12-3 for two weeks, the you'd shift to the 9-12. We were able to get most watches manned this way across the entire ship. There were some people still on five and dimes, but most people were in their twice a day 3 hour static rotations. But yeah, my last captain emphasized that he didn't want overly tired people on watch. He hated that part of SWO culture and was actually doing something to change it. This wasn't just for officers, mind you. This was his policy shipwide. When we were really busting our hump, I told my guys to catch it whenever they can but don't let work slide off. They did and didn't so it worked out well.

Nothing worse than getting caught sleeping in the outboard of radio by the loving nav. Dude was prior enlisted radioman so he totally knew what went on which is how he kept catching us sleeping there.

#JustNavyThings That warm fuzzy feeling you get when you're the first guy in line for the gate to turn his headlights off for the sentry and everyone behind you starts to turn theirs off, too. Coming off the 2-7 QD watch on a Saturday morning and rolling straight into your rack after Duty Section Turnover. When your watch is preempted by an UNREP and you're not on the UNREP watchbill and you sleep through the whole thing.

In the Med we were never close enough to get anything of substance but the trips were only about a month at a whack and you'd normally pick the ship up/get off the ship in nice Mediterranean ports. In 5th FLT, I spent more time in the Arabian Sea/HOA area reading pocket lint from the hadjis on Pakistani or Iranian dhows. About the best those kids can hope for is to get SW on a small boy or SW/AW if they're on a gator/carrier. Other than that, it's 6 months of boredom. The only thing worse than that is riding boats out of NIOC GA. Day-long flights to Bahrain (oh boy, only been there a million times) with the obligatory Dubai port call. Or maybe Fujairah if you get really unlucky.

It's what the detailer is handing out right now though, so I'm guessing a bunch of people just got out. All this ambiguity in what I'm going to be doing is killing me. I thought about seeing if I can swap to aircrew out of GA, but even that seems to be boiling down to nothing now that we can do the work a P-3 crew would by just streaming all the data back to shore, which is basically what 1/3rd of GA's sailors do right now.

Lazy Navy recruiters at my university's career fair weren't even wearing uniforms, just Navy polo shirts. They could have tried to impress terrible undergrad students wear SDBs or even khakis.

I don't recall the reasoning at the time but it would make sense that the billets might have been almost completely filled then. Aircrew wouldn't be bad. I know some folks still doing it and they're still getting to go to Sigonella and Souda. Unfortunately you'd also stand a chance at getting sent to Bahrain or Al Udeid, depending on mission requirements or other priorities.

NWUs are the stupidest poo poo and I refuse to wear them most of the time. Now I hear we're getting lighter/different versions of NWUs this year, and new coveralls for ships, where NWUs will not be worn as often (are they worn on ships? I don't even know what people look like on ships, maybe they meant.. ship... shore.. sailors?) I usually wear NSUs with the sweater constantly. I hate how business casual NSUs make us look, all I want is a god drat long sleeve option. Are we getting a joint uniform or what? I kept hearing words about that.

I like NWU's because I don't have to give a gently caress about throwing them in a pile when I get home and wearing them 4 days in a row. I also like wearing the black fleece -- does a poo poo job of keeping you warm but it looks cool.

I don't even know what people look like on ships, maybe they meant.. ship... shore.. sailors?) We used to wear NSUs daily and then they switched it to like every Friday or something. NWUs all day every day. I hear the dudes on the ships use the NWUs, except for some that are like Coveralls every day. Probably has to do moreso with your job. Now that I think about it, I have never worn my coveralls since they were issued to me. LingcodKilla, they used your pillows to support her rear end the moment you left.

They wear NWUs way too much on ship. In port you kind of have to because of the dumb coverall wear rules. They did get nice new fire retardant coveralls fairy recently that are worn more. I think they're red

No, seriously. Used to have to IVICS the gently caress out of combat. I went from 5 n' dimes to static watches and opted for the mid...It's the quietest.
