He was always self conscious and humble about it, but that seemed to work to his favor since he was actually really smart and hard working.

There's no way out of this thing. I'm looking forward to learning how to motivate sailors, because being a good shipmate is a Navy thing! (re: I'm going to let them fail)

Oh no Iran has photos of our cutting edge small boat technology. Why oh why did we not go to war over this. The shame is too great. We must all commit seppuku.

Why did this pair of little putt-putt patrol boats not have a dedicated SuCAP package overhead to cover them? Because OBAMA, that's why! - a vietnam vet

I was on lookout while my rackmate took an upper decker in the toilet of another platoon's DS Hut. It was the single most dangerous thing I did in the Marines outside of riding in a CH-46

Went down and talked to admin today to make sure everything is on the up and up for my seperation (terminal starts this Friday). Of course they had no idea my terminal started Friday even though I've talked to the guy every week for two months about it, they haven't seen any of my awards/eval/etc and to cap it all off they hosed up sending my last eval in and according to my continuity report its 'purged'. I look forward to coming in during terminal to fix these things.

If you are getting out, the Navy already knows what type of discharge they are giving you and what RE code will be on your DD214. Why would you care about their loving up some eval that won't matter once you are out anyway? If terminal leave is approved, you should never have to come back. That's why it's called terminal.

I am not admin but in 16 years I have had a lot of Marines go on terminal leave. In that time, I have never once heard of or known of anyone who has heard of someone getting recalled from terminal leave. So maybe it's different in the navy but since we all are Dept of Navy, I can't imagine why it would be.

It's probably not common to actually happen, but terminal leave is leave. I'm the only person I know who's had leave cancelled in-progress, but it can definitely happen and it's up to the boss whether he wants to do it or not. If I wanted to enjoy my terminal I sure as hell wouldn't gently caress around with a relatively simple paperwork issue by shrugging it off and hoping nobody notices.

I am not expert on admin stuff but if I were on terminal, you'd never be able to get a hold of me to recall my rear end. They give Marines their DD214 before they leave the base so there is nothing holding them here.
