Too bad it wasnt on the chip(root) trail. Those loving roots put me on LLD for four months. Two weeks and 2 days till I blow this popsicle stand and head 2000 miles to my next duty station the USS Couch.

ManMythLegend and other SWO wisdoms, just got my slate for 2nd tour. Due next week to detailer. Any inputs on the following: DDG PCU BATH-->SDGO STRIKE Also two jobs MCM in Sasebo also on there 1LT and DCA. Dunno if those are my top choice but not ruling it out. Anybody been stationed in Bath, ME?

Not sure what SDGO STRIKE is... and I've never been a PCU but I hear mixed things. Sasebo is pretty cool but I'm not sure I'd want to live there, especially to be on a MCM but if you think it's something you'd like then go for it! Depending on what that SDGO STRIKE is, that'd be my number one choice (but then again I'm a TLAM Officer so....)

It's saying that precom will shift homeport from Bath Maine to San Diego at some point.

If the precom will be shifting to San Diego in the near future, I'd pick it. Spend a little time in Bath, take a shakedown cruise to San Diego, enjoy San Diego. If you spend nearly the entire time at Bath and then transfer right as you're about to have a nice time on a San Diego DDG, that would suck.

I'd say stay away from the PCU because it's going to screw with your orders length depending on how much longer the ship has in bath and then you're going to spend the rest of your time there trying to chase down the people who built the ship for loving things up or upgrading things that should have been done pre-commissioning. Sasebo, otoh, is pretty much guaranteed if you ask for it and there are GIPpers out there already.

Sasebo MCM will get you ports in South Korea as well as different parts of Japan and even Australia and PI. MCMs don't have much higher endurance than a week or 2 so you literally are only at sea for a couple days between ports. Counterpoint: Sasebo, JP is subtropical practically, it is almost always warm to hot, and MCMs are full of weenie-touchers because no females on board. Take that as you will.

Only concern for MCM is sea sickness. I can hang with the most but having been on a YP cruise off the atlantic coast as MIDN and experiencing some crazy sea sickness I don't know how bad it is on MCM.

Some are maladaptive to the military, others just joined because they thought the TA would get approved and they'd have a regular 9 to 5 like when they were out and now actually have to commit to their contract instead of just doing school. Each one requires medical to fill out DoD Suicide Event Reports detailing 160 things about the individual.

How do you die if you fall off a carrier? I'm not doubting you die, I just want to know how. Like is it high enough that the impact on the water kill you because that doesn't seem likely, or do you just get sucked under the ship and drown? I'm asking for a friend. Or are people just retarded enough to think it'll kill them? Anita Dickinme fucked around with this message at 18:49 on May 23, 2015 |

You can knock yourself out or break a limb when you hit the water and sink. Or you do it at night and you'll drown before anyone finds you.

So.... I got a question. If I got randomly flipped off by somebody on restricted and then immediately informed the petty officer in charge (mostly because I was confused because I didnt know the dude). Turns out he was talking to his buddy I'm having issues with outside the galley(I saw them talking). The petty officer tried to convince me to let him just handle it in house since "his life couldnt get anyworse"(bullshit). Is this because the petty officer would also get in trouble for letting his restricted boys mingle with regular sailors or he just doesnt want to deal with paper work?

I don't know if schoolhouse mandates extra-dumb rules for restriction personnel, but hanging out with non restricted personnel is usually not verboten in the fleet. Generally going on restriction at the schoolhouse results in a loss of your school, and if you didn't have a rate already that means your rear end is going to be chipping paint instead of fixing computers or whatever cushy job that person signed up for. The POIC likely doesn't give a gently caress, mostly because he didn't witness it.

Yeah. Drama I guess. People getting upset over having to mop up their own spilt soda. Dont join the Navy at 37 and most certainty dont get roped into being the class leader or ma. The punk admitted to it and why. He's not very smart. Honestly I'm not going to do poo poo if nothing more happens but I was curious.

All the lifeboats on a carrier are on the flightdeck catwalks... And even if you have a float coat on you stand a pretty good chance of freezing to death before the helo gets airborne to find you.

Howard Phillips posted:ManMythLegend and other SWO wisdoms, just got my slate for 2nd tour. Due next week to detailer. As others have said, PCUs (at least as of a few years ago) do some strange things with your orders timing--usually your actual count for on-station time doesn't start until the ship is commissioned. If you really want to go that way, make sure you talk to your detailer and understand what it means for long-term career timing, since you've got to hit DH school at the right time one way or another if you're staying in that long.
