Grape Garden is loving good Chinese food. That was the best part about Pensacola for me. And they even deliver to Corry. Trust me, it's really good.

For the longest time I thought grape garden was Greek or something but it is pretty good takeout Chinese.

There's a place up at Pine Forest & 9 Mile called Hot-Headed Burrito.

It's pretty close to a Chipotle without the rear end blood.

The cool thing about loving up and starting at e-1 is realizing that you could have forced the recruiter to give you e-3 before you signed anything.

Hope you get e-5 first time you're up, took me 2 trys and I did the stupid starting at e-1 thing too. Never got paid for e-5 but I did get to waste a bunch of money changing my uniforms for it!

Start signing your emails as PO1 (SEL) (WARFARE DEVICE) orange juche.

Edit: also start attending CPO 365. They had a clip from "The Empire Strikes Back" when Yoda lifts the X-Wing out of the swamp. I think the analogy is that the Chief's Mess is supposed to lift sailors' morale or something like that.

The swamp is the chief's mess and Yoda is EAOS.

Is there any point to CPO365 other than making sure I don't have any PO1s to do actual work?

By allowing Chiefs to raise the steady-state shittiness of behavior towards the first classes, the hazing during initiation isn't as readily apparent!

Do not do this. My command tries to tell me it's technically mandatory because the the MCPON said all first classes will go but gently caress that.

I mean I guess unless you're a koolaid drinker OR you legitimately don't know how to write evals or do counseling. They sometimes have legitimately alright info to put out but the few times I went it was poo poo I learned to do as an E5.

Edit: Ugh this became a care post.

Can be either or. Only real stipulation is that if you have more than one device (IE Aircrew + EAWS) they both match.

When I was on Nimitz it was every goddamned day. Days cleaned the workspace during the Mornings and the berthing on the evenings. Nights did the opposite.

Carrier is legit good to watch mostly because it made me realize why every Navy dude I was friends with hated Chiefs and why everyone should hate Junior Officer pilots regardless of branch

Yeah, that was the Nimitz too. I was on during that, but the EA-6B squadron wasn't allowed to sign the papers. Thus, we were barred from being featured.

Some asshat is learning how to play a recorder in the barracks. Seriously. Can you legally throw a sailor off a ship if he was to bring such an device on board? He's been practicing the same melody for at least an hour now.

cool fact one time in hawaii over barbeque when mr. nice! was extremely drunk and working for Captain T-Shirts (aka every night in that billet) he told me how much rape you could do in the Navy and i said SIGN ME UP SAILOR. it's unfortunate he was separated and not given a recruiting district

also another time we completely dropped the ball on me and his roommate banging out a very emotionally unstable 'lesbian' girl while mr. nice! filmed. there's a lot of loose ends we left out there. like not starting a tranny porn site called "Mahu Mahu: Catch Of The Day!" or "Captain Cook's Ship" where some white dude bangs local girls. fingers crossed to get sent there and right wrongs!
