Like that but overseas, in groups of 20+, for security *reasons*. Yeah 33 white dudes over 5'10" in polos and khaki shorts spilling out of a couple of 15-pax vans really blend in well with the local 5'6" Arabic population wearing LA Lakers jerseys and Hugo Boss poo poo.

Just want to chime in and say that I had to take one of my ATs in San Diego, the only address on the orders was to the Base, not the Training Building, or specific side, just the generic google loving maps address to the gate. Obviously you know how big 32nd street is with wet/dry side, I got lost hardfuckin core. Luckily one of my friends took the course a month ago, and they told him it was moving to the the building next to the gas station on wet-side. That was all the info I got. Once AT ended, the instructor told us, that next month it will be taken at FITCPAC and to tell our commands. Also, Got my orders finally again in FT Meade, so yaaay getting paid again. Should be getting my PCS move out here next month, any recommendations for areas to look into? We have our eye on some townhomes, but could always use some input from people who have lived here. squarerandom fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Oct 21, 2015 |

I love how most classes have a few hours of dead time the first day, under the assumption that people will be getting lost trying to find the right building.

I once got sent to school in SD the morning of the class starting (because ship admin is always terrible). The airline lost my baggage, I didn't have a rental, and I showed up on dry-side 32nd trying to find the right school house. School was in Point Loma.

WOOO That was my last AT for a course that everyone got lost at. Also the class was late added at the building, so no one believed me until about 5 other people asked about the class.

FITCPAC is pretty easy, there is at least a sign in front of the building and you just have to drive up harbor pretty slow once you past the airport. Hell, trying to find a room in the NSA buildings are like a goddamn labyrinth that always starts with "Okay, so go past the taco bell, then [words become a loud distant echo from this point on]

First phone interview for a big boy job in a half an hour. I assume I'll gently caress it up by freezing and yelling the Sailor's Creed or something.

Just don't be a douche and you'll be fine. Imagine it as if you got people that weren't dumb enough to enlist under you, but you can't yell at them when they gently caress up otherwise you get a bunch of complaints.

Our over-moto new ENS DIVO had us try it at quarters last month and then got all pissed off because she could tell people didn't know it or were mouthing it. Sorry we didn't all just come straight from Navy Hogwarts and work at an Army command.

My company, as a group, just failed our dress blue inspection. I don't know how we did it, but once again the Seabees prove that "Can Do!" spirit by showing up looking like they just rolled around in cat hair and with neckerchiefs that didn't have the correct knot. I know the creed and all three verses of "Anchors Aweigh", but that's because I am from the same school of being a total covert moto fag that Mr. Nice! is from

with the wrench or with the giant power dildo On the other hand with Seabees, I had this old master chief who was a seabee who was cool as gently caress. The loving coolest sea stories: He joined the Navy in 1960, lying about his birthday because he was only 16. His first four years were as a BM where he once got knocked the gently caress out with one punch by a female marine and later did 4 tours in Vietnam after taking the exam to be a builder. In 1970 he was running around the jungle with a 12-man CAT team building firebases for Army SF and poo poo. He said Marvin Shields was a dick. Also they ate a giant python.

My SIPR token died a few weeks ago. All I need to do to replace it is go over to the CIS desk during one of two service hours, monday-thursday, when their system isn't down, and the one guy who can do it isn't out of the office. So far each of my visits has met one of those criteria separately; sooner or later the stars will align and I'll actually be able to get it replaced.
