I work with a handful of goons but haven't met up with any of them. I overheard a discussion at work in VA between two goons talking about GiP, but I don't know who they were either offline or online. The DLI sperg thread would indicate that at least eight goons work at the same location as me, but if that's the case I probably don't like them as offline people already.

I met quite a few goons from TFR. Went to desert shoot with around 20 of them. Over all not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Only met one on a separate occasion who was a near disaster. Scared me enough to not want to go shooting with random strangers anymore.

I met Mr Nice! in Hawaii and it ended poorly. On another predictable note, my SGLI beneficiary info is jacked, where do I go in the Navy Net to fix that if I can online? Oh and I heard LingcodKilla talk about how old he was at MEPS when we were sitting in the hallway last year. It was magical because I felt less old.

He won't look the same. He's drat near 40 and wearing tennis shoes with his uniform. I figure that should be pretty easy to pick out amongst the greasy pimply faced teenagers.

I flew out to meet my boat on deployment and they gave me a hotel room of my own when I got to the port. I met up with some boat dudes who I had never met and we all went drinking (OBVIOUSLY). At some point during the night one of the dudes disappeared telling us he had an appointment at a tattoo parlor. He returned about 30 minutes later and we continued partying. Near the end of the night he said he didn't want to go back to the boat and asked if he could stay in my hotel room. I assumed this is the point I get raped as part of submarine initiation so I said yes. When I woke up in the morning this dude was passed out face down in the bathroom. I kicked him awake and when he stood up his crotch was covered in blood. Dude went and got his dick pierced and drank lots of alcohol which made the bleeding worse. One of the most traumatic things I've seen. He ended up getting kicked out for having the HIV which is probably related to his pierced dick and love of whores. welp thats my story.

I wear black tennis shoes so I'm not that noticeable but I get called out daily with apologies for not having my pants bloused.

Nah, big book of navy medicine consider heel spurs to be painful but pretty much nothing else. Just takes time and rest to go away. Chances of surgery are almost zero. I can still waddle the mile and half in under 12 minutes (navy wants me to do it in under 15).

Been to a couple of goon meets IRL over the years. One of my friends boot camp was actually a goon, but this was before I signed up with an actual account. Used to hang out with his "homies" when I was stationed near him after he got out. Tokyo goon meet was probably the most normal group of people. Granted a self selecting crowd since they were living in a foreign country. A goon meet in DC was the worst one. It was just the three of us. One guy was actually wearing a fedora and he brought a bottle of Bombay sapphire. After hitting up a BYOB jazz joint we hit up some bars. He wasn't allowed to bring in the bottle to the bars so he chugged in a parking lot near U street. Went into a bar and awkwardly stood around a bunch of trendy DC yuppies before blacking out and causing a scene after trying to talk to a chick. Got kicked out by the bouncers. Staggered into a tree outside the bar and puked all over himself before hailing a cab and going home. Me and the other dude were like  Haven't been on a goon meet since then.

Looks like I really dodged a bullet not going to a DC goon meet. You should check out Denson's Liquor Lounge though, it's like two blocks off the verizon center in the mall's direction with a basement entrance from the street but no sign. Speak Easy style bar with an excellent liquor selection but it can get crowded during peak hours.

I just dont really enjoy bars that much. Unless it's like a fancy whiskey bar and they have 100's of whiskeys to try. Last time I got a flight of Japanese whiskey, which in addition to the setting is the gooniest thing I could do.

Their whiskey selection was the main reason I went and it's not a dive by any stretch, you'd probably like it as long as it's not a Friday/Saturday peak hour. I went on Tue/Wed a few times and it was pretty empty.

LOL. Being that I am a Female and also a Chief,  I am in a few groups on FB with other female CPOs. I have one of those women blocked so I don't have to see her offensive, immature prattle. Good to see that the Mess is representing as always. Also, 420 days.

I really doubt MCPON gives a gently caress about some dipshit cheifs, If you've read the times he already knows 1/2 of em are a worthless pack of wannabe frat boys who shout things like tradition and deckplate leadership, whilst knowing the definition of neither.

Truuuueeeeeee. If you spot one wearing NAVY CHIEF clothing outside of work, chances are good that they are part of this frat. See also: stickers of goats wearing CPO hats on trucks. MCPON pretty much just cares about MCPON.

MCPON cares about mandatory all hands calls and basks in the awe of dumb boots and fuckboys. also skull stickers wearing chief hats, ultimate fuckboy status is earned by an E7 displaying all 3 variations of skull chief stickers. real masterchiefs would only have the masterchief skull. MCPON has reached ultimate form of "gently caress you got mine" syndrome

I think the CPO culture is a bit outdated for today's professional all volunteer Navy. Especially as the Navy becomes smaller and smaller. Same thing with some of the officer communities. Our service is technically oriented and leadership ability is more based on technical competency not rank anyways. We all know of commands/units where some E5 is the backbone or some O2 is the one that actually gets things done. Tends to be better at higher officer ranks but still you some people that have made it to LCDR or CDR and not worth a drat. We need to reform/abolish CPO/Wardroom/FCPO and other BS and focus more on technical competency for leadership and management positions. If we can abolish enlisted/officer rank structure and just have a unified rank structure that's stovepiped based on duties and roles and authority is based on responsibility and specialization. Alas it will never happen but one can dream. It would mean DOD wide reform, but even going towards something like the GS pay scale would make more sense. Everybody is on the same pay system and appropriately compensated based on experience/responsibility/ability. Get rid of toxic cultures such as goat locker etc... Modern sailors aren't broken by class divides like before where enlisted = lower class and officer = upper. Yeah I know more lower income and minorities enlist but the divide is less and changing the system can further move towards a meritocracy.

That would be great but it will take like a hundred loving years if the crying about cpo induction not being tradition anymore is anything to go by. I mean I don't know what the other branches are like but I'm fairly certain the E7s aren't treated completely different than the E6s and below. When I get back from leave going to call everyone E#, see how long it lasts until maximum butt hurt.
