If you have a bachelor's or higher, you're ineligible. If you have an associate's, maybe.

I received my Federal job offer today, which is good because I'd rather not be a contractor. Someone in here should probably take orders to Great Lakes and buy my house. I'll give you friend prices.

A lot of us realize how worthless the excelsior/ TE degree actually are.

The Army will take people with mail-in nursing degrees that are only recognized by like three states' boards of nursing. The Navy used to too but shut it down a few years ago, but there are still nurse by mail officers grandfathered in.

I'm not a shitbag. Quite the contrary actually and have always prided on doing my best. Hey if I'm gonna be there might as well give my best effort. But lately it's just been so hard to stay focused. I think I'm starting to lose my internal motivation to improve my work/quality output and find myself wishing that my DH would task me more cause I won't move otherwise. Much different than before when I had a lot of initiative. Worst part is I've done a good job so far so I'm given a lot of leeway and trust, but would rather be tasked so that I don't have to think and decide as much. </bitching>

Right now I basically show up to work to collect a check and make sure my seamen/second classes don't do something that gets themselves or the command in trouble, beyond that my motivation is zero. They asked me last month if I wanted to get a warfare device while I'm TAD to this squadron, it was everything I could do to not laugh in the chief's face.

I think we're going to have another all hands theater brief on not being a rapist before we're out since we had a couple sexual assaults over holiday stand down. But that's only .005% of the command so, progress?

For gently caress's sake, it continually amazes me that the largest naval base in the world has such lovely lodging. San Diego has a lot of nice facilities. Lemoore had some amazing rooms that had just been renovated when I went there. Fallon has a poo poo-ton of capacity for air wings and it's mostly very good. But Norfolk, the beating heart of Navydom on earth, can't seem to get its poo poo together. e: haha, what I had thought was an artistic paint effect on one of the "paintings" on the wall is actually a huge patch of mold.

Sasebo sounds pretty chilled out per the briefings Atsugi's pretty chill, depending on your command/duty section. But even then it's not like we get gate protests...like ever. And we're only about an hour train ride from Tokyo and a half hour to Yokohama so we've got that going for us.

Norfolk was no Pearl Harbor or San Diego, but I enjoyed it. That said, I was at the NSA rather than the Naval Station. I can imagine that poo poo would suck.

In Norfolk now, can confirm that it sucks. Gate traffic is real and it really sucks. Living in Ghent is the only thing that makes it remotely tolerable to be here.

I'm in Maryland for the next few months drinking at hotel bars and shitposting. I've come to the conclusion that Maryland doesn't know what the gently caress traffic is. They all whine and bitch about traffic getting to work and terrible parking, but have no idea the real poo poo traffic. Hawaii traffic with tiny rear end Hawaii parking spots when you finally get to wherever you are going.

I think driving on I-95 is far more infuriating than going from Chinatown to Haliewa ever was, personally. gently caress Turtle Beach and the tourists. That said, I biked to work most days and never really had to deal with driving to Ewa or through Pearl City during peak hours.

I've experienced bad traffic in some of the largest cities in the US and nothing comes even close to traffic in Hawaii. The worst traffic in most places I've ever lived is a good day in hawaii.
