Cosmic Fury posted:Then at least changes will have been made, and I'll have gotten out of the military as a bitter vet, on my way to a well-paying job. I know as a junior sailor that I'm gonna get screwed if a good idea of mine gets implemented. Sure, I'll not get the credit for it, but at the very least life won't be as big of a shitstorm as it usually is. Ultimately, I win either way -- but getting called out for a good idea would be great icing on the cake, I admit... Getting ready to go to boot Cosmic Fury posted:It takes a really kickass chain of command to really get the ball rolling, and it's too bad that I've only seen a couple that actually work well all the way from the ground up. For example, my old one had a kickass upper chain of command while the majority of my immediate superiors were douchebags, didn't know any better, or simply didn't care. It's a travesty, I know, and I can only change so much no matter what position I find myself in. Is either in second TRACOM or has been in for 7 years and has a PCS on the books Cosmic Fury posted:When I was a kid, I was all about "making a difference" when I didn't know what the hell I was talking about. Hell, I still admit to not entirely knowing what it means. But at least if I can improve my lot in life as well as those that work under me, then I'll at least be satisfied with that. After all, it's better than sitting around and twiddling my thumbs while I'm watching dumbasses living it up better than me. Getting ready to go to boot. Seriously, this post has bugged me all day and is dumb. The best case scenario is you are really, deeply, frighteningly naive.

I'd argue AEGIS will set you up better than IT assuming you want to be a contractor and keeping in mind there are more ITs than just the computer type ITs. You could end up a radio IT! I saw earlier though that dude's only got like 8 months or something left and it would take you that time just to get through FC 'A' School. poopkitty posted:I have seen some seriously cringe-worthy responses to this article that amount to "BooHoo, get your rear end in the kitchen and leave this to the menfolk."

AEGIS is too niche, and he wouldn't have spent enough time doing it anywhere other than a classroom to be competitive in that kind of role. As an IT, he'd get a handful of certs while in A school (A+/Sec+) and could use that foundational knowledge to get through CCNA as well. And yes, he could end up being a radio IT but that would probably still be more marketable in the long-term than anything AEGIS.

Well, yes and no. Is everyone replacable? Yes, absolutely. That doesn't make it smart, desirable, or even functional. For instance, I hold 6 AQD's related to TLAM. I'm currently the only one in the Navy to have all six. When I get out in 6-8 months that will mostly be lost to the Navy (possible use in reserves) and while they can certainly replace me, that means that: a) The Navy is not retaining this kind of in depth training and experience for eventual O5/O6 positions within the system b) There is no horizontal growth (a one for one replacement means that the Navy only ever has one). Meanwhile, all of this training costs in money and time, and the experience will never be recovered. So yes, individually it's not in issue but within the larger system it is a big problem.

Blame congress for doing poo poo gently caress man, its just full of complaining about dumb things without context, gently caress man, you should know this. Man, I like you, but ugh, it feels like you are trying to sympathize with someone who forgets we effectively sign a borderline slavery contract to the powers that be, at least acknowledge that part.

At the end of the day he'd have a bunch of knowledge of electronics in general, and depending on his c school could go the same way with certs (ACNT). Obviously that hinges on ACNT being available for orders (it never comes up, I have no idea who's running the ACNT workcenters on ships because I'm the only ACNT tech I know of that reenlisted). I wasn't aware that IT A pushes everyone towards computers, that's pretty cool and yea, I'd agree IT is what he should go for. Look man I'm an Aegis FC and as such am dutifully required to push it (pick IT).

Concern is also whether he'll have to obliserv due to training (quite extensive for both IT and FC). Dunno if you just want to get out or you don't mind re-upping for potentially at least 3-4 years? Radio IT can be useful in civilian sector if you get the right experience with the hardware. Seen comms ETs and ITs get out and work for cell phone companies.

VERY few of them actually mean anything (i.e. major warfare designators, command, JPME I/II/JQO, etc) There are TONS of AQDs out there that denote immense experience that get absolutely zero visibility whatsoever.

Radio IT would give me valuable experience I can bullshit and re-form into a resume for some of the *more unique* DoD positions when mixed with my SIGINT. Really either IT role would be a boon to my experience. I've got 15 months until soft EAOS, but I doubt they'd cut me loose for a longer A-school than the four monthers. I can still parlay being trilingual DLPT'd and mix that with any set of relevant skills to hopefully pull out a good contracting gig when I get out. What's the deal with ITS? NCC said they're asking people that want to go IT to go subs now.

SquirrelyPSU posted:Getting ready to go to boot Yeah, I've been told that in spite of my ASVAB scores that I am surprisingly stupid. Perhaps my head will actually be hard enough to pull it off. And yeah, I'm actually getting PCS'd as we speak, and already have endorsements on hand for what I'm about to attempt. My foot's already in the door, and to be honest, if I don't end up getting the package after all (because of this apparently empty noggin), I'll have gotten what I initially joined the Navy for anyway: a free college degree plus some, just waiting for me as soon as I end my contract in two short years.

The ASVAB is a hilariously easy test that imo is not a great barometer of actual intelligence. I'm actually not sure what it's supposed to be measuring. I'll never forget the day in A school when we all compared ASVAB scores, I thought I was in some kind of super high ASVAB exclusive club (because that's what recruiters told me!), turns out with the right scores an FC can have a comparatively low score, like low 50s, probably lower.

Yeah, I've heard numerous jokes about that. Most point toward it being a stupid meter of sorts. The farther from average you score (low or high) the more stupid you are. If that's truly the case, I'm pants - on - head retarded and probably deserve to have been suckered into picking the wrong job at MEPS. I suppose I'll have to live and learn (hopefully). Either way, I don't have that long left, and really all I'm on is a quest to make my remaining two years as tolerable as possible.

It's generally the people with 99s that I see having a complete lack of common sense. I scored a 92 (TOTALLY NOT BRAGGING GUYS) so maybe I'm retarded too. I mean I did willfully join the Navy. It's odd to me that you say that you want your last two years to be as tolerable as possible but you're all about making waves and poo poo, and you're evidently putting some kind of package in for some kind of program. Good luck in any case. By the way no one freak out, we found some toilet paper. Crisis averted, stop the problem, stop the clock.

Scoring high usually just means you'll be taking orders to clean toilets from someone who scored lower than you.

I got a 97 and "unlocked" every job in the navy except those with an age requirement. I'm most certainly pants-on-head retarded for joining at my age but I do have a lot more common sense at least.

I got like an 80 or some poo poo, guess I'm loving retarded, I re-enlisted 3 years ago after all, but I just told my NCC last monday that I was done with the Navy, so I eagerly await being sent TAD to Security. I am in full Skater Second Class mode right now though.

I missed mandatory all hands SAPR training on Friday already, they were gone for like 3 hours and someone walked in the shop and asked why I wasn't there. My response was that I didn't have any clue the training was going on. Skating owns. I've missed 2 retirement ceremonies in the last 2 months as well, shits great.

I got a 99 on it my jr year of HS. That was '94 or '95 I think. I took it again in 2000 and got a 95, after a few years of college. If I took it now I'd prolly get like a 70 going by my estimates...
