If we can't haze you relentlessly for one month then we're going to piecemeal it throughout the year.

And then haze you anyway until a guy dies.

A guy in VA died this year of heart attack on the 2nd to last night of hazing induction. I was staying with a chief friend of mine and he was real bummed hearing about it so we got really drunk and he was late for work the next morning. I did my part.

I brought up EN1 Tuff on the smoke deck, got a lecture about how he died from unknown heart complications that had nothing to do with initiation. I'm sure little to no sleep and exhaustion had nothing to do with it.

it's a good rate man, but I promise you can do better on the outside. if you did crossrate it'd just be a mad case if grass is greener and you'd be filled with disappointment. Get out.

Quotas

Rates with smart people that require brains have high quotas because they all GTFO

Everything with a low quota is a rate of retards that have 4 kids and stay for life. But they get the EPs because they throw everyone under the bus and attended the most bake sales (they do everything but their actual job which they suck at) and or are filipino

This seems pretty accurate. I looked at quotas today and FC1 is at mid 30's. I feel bad because when it's that high (which is high for FC's, obviously other rates are different) you get a bunch of garbage that advances, and said garbage will eventually be LPOs, then those junior guys see the dumbfucks in charge of them and if they're smart, they get out, and the cycle perpetuates. The Navy is an unending jormungar of bad leadership.

T/GPS was pretty useful, writing a resume is pretty much eval writing. We had a bunch of recruiters come in today and it was helpful to kind of realize just how many jobs I could do. I was basically pigeonholing myself into something DoD related, and I'll probably still go that route because of money, but it's good to get some perspective.

Yeah CPO 365 is weird. The Marines are dumb as gently caress but even we send our guys to formal schools away from their command. The Navy half asses some classes and PT sessions and then screams at their newly frocked Chiefs for not magically figuring everything out overnight.

Yeah, first is nice and all but the pay raise is almost not worth having to deal with 365.

Boring power points and 5 am runs. So leadership. Run by idiots for idiots.

The two suggestions for making it not suck just got ignored.

I'm assuming at your command 365 is for real mandatory. It's mandatory here but over the last three years I've gone twice with no one giving me any poo poo. Some of that might be attributed to it being outside of our (but not the first shifts so be sure to come anyway!) working hours.

I dropped my SELRES to IRR transfer request chit yesterday. I'm wondering how my chain of command is going to react.

No one ever gets out and they certainly don't ask to go IRR. Even the most FTN E3 says that the reserves are the best thing he's got going. :psyduck:

To command triads and shops, yes. To the public, no.

I was going to just wait until tomorrow to find out results because eff hanging out around a workshop but Mr. Nice! suggested maybe my leadership would want to talk to everyone after they put out results, but no they speed read everything out of order, threw them on a table in an office, locked the door and wandered off. Hang all khakis, even those retired.

In a surprising turn of events, I got emails from my chain of command wishing me the best and that if anyone needed anything, they'd send me an email.

I guess I'm in the IRR now?

Kind of anti-climatic considering nothing is ever that easy in the Navy.
