I once stood by the most bashful officer for 90 minutes before he could get a weak tinkle. Was getting so bored I was about to offer to suck start it just so we could be done.

I live in constant fear that this will be me, but then it always works out just fine. Just an hour of inexorable terror while I wait for the chance to display my peeing prowess. I bet my whiz watchers can smell the fear and assume they're up for a 45 minute ordeal.

Edit: also describes every time I've taken the deck.

2 hours before change of command, Deck div has coated the dome with salad oil to make it shiny. Deck LPO comes up to inspect it, already in dress whites. He steps out to look closer and starts a slow, inexorable slide down the dome, long enough that he has time to take out his phone and wallet and toss them to the topside watch before he ends up in the water in his dress whites :xd:

If I was secnav that would be item #1 on the agenda. Seabags will now consist of: coveralls, ball cap, dress whites, dress blues. Officers and chiefs will still have summer white top, but otherwise that's loving it. If you're some type of butterfly job that needs type IIs or IIIs by all means keep them. Otherwise that's all you should loving wear.

3 years and two months out and I still care about coveralls.

If I was still in I'd be at 10 years now and stuck deciding whether I wanted to stick around another 10 or leave.

So what do you wear in school at a training command?

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

The coverall wear rules always cracked me up. Like can't even drive to work in them?

And then some ships even got lame about wearing them on ship and while underway. But the NWUs are worthless and not fire retardant so now most just wear the fire retardant coveralls anyways

Does anyone have any instruction anywhere for the reserve prior service affiliation bonus; specifically what tier an FC would be? When I signed my immediate reenlistment contract I was told by both the CTO as well as my garbage career counselor that I was eligible for a tier 1 20k bonus. The NOSC is saying I'm only eligible for tier 2 15k.

Career counselors more often than not speak horseshit, so I think your CCC might have hosed you.

Just go to BUPERS site as they have all the released NAVADMINS, search for reserve, find most recent release and read it.

The military might of a country represents its national strength. Only when it builds up its military might in every way can it develop into a thriving country.
Don't forget conventional MMs. There's a rather large group of them on my ship that spend their free time playing Magic.

conventional MM vs nuke. The MMNs still haven't even heard of pokemon go because they're on port and starboard.

So our new LPO asked all of us if we had signed worksheets yet, we said no because we haven't signed evals yet and there is no way they are going to let you sign without that. He just kind of stared at us and then told us we needed to get it done as soon as we can. :shrug:

I'm an e6. I've never written a full eval and really don't know 3/4 of the dumb navy poo poo my friend (another e6 from a slower promoting community) knows.

Thankfully I've never been in charge of anyone, for their sake and my own.

Day to day poo poo I'm the man at though. I'll supervise the hell out of daily operations.

I'm a nuke, made E-6 after 5 years. My Chief is a conventional MM, been in 13 years. He tells me to do something normal Navy related, and I just kinda stare at him until he remembers I'm a nuke. It's almost a daily occurence.
