Dunno if you've seen the "4 Reasons I Am Resigning My Commission As A Naval Officer" article that's been making the rounds. http://taskandpurpose.com/4-reasons-i-am-resigning-my-commission-as-a-naval-officer/

The online response by senior (meaning mostly terminal O4s and O5s) has been "How dare she complain and criticize without recommending solutions! Priviliged millennial!" Which speaks volumes for itself. The fact that the institution doesn't tolerate any criticism or legitimate complaint basically dooms itself to continue to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Like restricted line, I would assume. I haven't heard anything about that and that would be even more stupid than the IDC warfare pin. Yes, let's have another massive and easy to notice item to prove someone is in the intelligence community.

I asked a few months ago and got a Coastie to reply mostly, but any DC GiP goons that can say yes or no to living near N Kings Highway? The place is very close to the Walmart Supercenter down that way. Friend of a friend said the closer you get to Groveton and Hybla Valley the sketchier it gets. Since next command will have weird working hours, I'd rather not come off a super long shift only to get shanked (which is why I ruled out southeast despite it being very close to JBAB.)

Dedicated off-street parking and w/d in unit are a must (entitled enlisted I guess) so if anybody has recommendations, I'm all ears. Thanks.

Seeking Suggestions from E-7 and above on Future of Navy and Marine Corps Officers

GREAT LAKES, Ill. (NNS) -- Naval Service Training Command (NSTC) and the United States Naval Academy (USNA) will use crowd-sourcing to receive ideas and suggestions from the entire Navy Officer Corps and Chief's Mess regarding the core competencies of our future Navy and Marine Corps officers, April 27- May 7.

NSTC and USNA will launch the crowd-sourcing interactive website, MMOWGLI, which stands for "Massive Multi-player Online Wargame Leveraging the Internet," as a tool and initiative to seek input that will impact the future of the naval officer corps.

The portal will be open from April 27th through May 7th for all officers and senior enlisted from every community to contribute at https://portal.mmowgli.nps.edu/pcc.

The crowdsourcing site is an Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) product and has been utilized on over a dozen different projects to utilize input from a large community of people to generate ideas and proposed solutions to large complex problems. Past games include Piracy, Energy, and Electromagnetic Maneuver.

NSTC and USNA will obtain fleet inputs from the officer and senior enlisted community throughout the Navy in a manner that will generate a comprehensive set of recommendations that will assist in validating and/or revising the Professional Core Competencies (PCC) Manual.

Professional Core Competencies set the professional development curriculum at every officer accession command.
The game allows players to choose core competencies, identify ideas of concern or revision and elaborate on them for refinement.

There is no time commitment required for gameplay and your submissions will be anonymous. The game will be open 24-hours a day during the open period.

This is an opportunity for everyone from senior enlisted and junior officers to command master chiefs and commanding officers to have an impact on the common core curriculum for the officers who are leading Sailors and contributing to the mission of the Navy.

For more information about the game please visit the portal and log in https://portal.mmowgli.nps.edu/pcc.

I had heard we were getting them for officers along with that stupid, ugly gigantic pin. I was out before it was widely distributed, and heard collar devices were next. I haven't kept up with it, though, so I guess they at least didn't pull that one. Moving information dominance to URL is really, really dumb.
