If nothing goes haywire with my orders I'll be reporting soon to ECS school for CRS 10. Anyone have experience with RIVRON stuff? Should I become a PT nut?

I suppose this varies based on command, but when I made first nothing really changed other than being more of a mentor for junior sailors. You still can't affect change of any meaningful kind unless you're an lpo, and even then your chief has to not be in your way.

Null Integer posted:The most miserable people on the boat during shipyard are the nukes, and it was three times worse for the officers. It wasn't the work alone, it wasn't the conditions alone, it wasn't the culture alone. When you combine the hours, nuclear culture, navy BS, and a toxic command(guaranteed in shipyard) is when it gets to be too much for a lot of people. This. So much of this. God forbid you're late getting out of shipyard, like we were. 3 months late. Might as well be on deployment at that point.

Null Integer posted:The LT isn't wrong, in shipyard you will do tons of "project management" being the supervisor of evolutions and making sure your division deliverables are on track with the shipyard schedule. It's really closer to making sure your poo poo gets done and telling shipyard when it doesn't so they can fix it for you. A lot of my nuke officers lived onboard the ship or barge for weeks at a time because it wasn't worth it to try to drive home and drive back if all you were going to have time to do was sleep for a few hours. If they wanted a full night's rest, they wouldn't go home. [Ask] me about doing a 4 year carrier nuclear reactor refueling

So what's the yards like for non-nukers? We're heading there sometime next year if the ship we replace isn't late. I'm not really worried if it's super lovely because I'm just thinking about how I'll actually get to go home every night for a good few years.

You're going to strip and paint the same surface forever. Also, LOL if you think you are going home with any sort of regularity.

I slept on the boat for most of our drydock period so I would have time to get in a workout and still get around 7 hours of sleep after chow and showering. It was actually significantly worse than deployment

I'm not really worried if it's super lovely because I'm just thinking about how I'll actually get to go home every night for a good few years. It really depends a lot. I knew plenty of guys that got skate jobs where they basically sat around all day waiting to go home. I knew just as many that spent all day needlegunning into the night. Absolutely do not volunteer to go on a "cable pull" team. It might be the worst thing. Pro-tip: Be extra careful of pulling apart ventilation ducting. Asbestos is a real risk. It somehow still gets installed even when its not supposed to be.

Howard Phillips posted:Having Navy Officer, specifically SWO, experience on the resume seems to be a mixed bag as I prepare for civilian land. Your largest talents are difficult to calculate and plenty enough SWOs suck at learning the most important lessons to take with them that even if employers knew wtf you did, they'd have every right to worry. You are, after all, management potential with no on-hand. All threat with few benefits. I'm still in, so of course I'm completely insane. But your skills and and experiences are difficult to represent and there are lots of bad lessons you could have learned in addition to good. My expectation is that, unless you were one of the lovely ones, you're going to excel at a variety of tasks because you can organize, lead, and give-a-gently caress about things you don't give a gently caress about--so my recommendation is turn those general traits to specific experiences and accomplishments ASAP by taking the best role you can find, blowing it out of the water while pursuing next level qualification/schooling and killing that simultaneously (because you're 50% coffee by mass) and then having a bitching package in two years. But immediately, you should expect to rate poorly compared to others who just went straight into that job.

Otherwise, unless you are one of maybe 30 people on the ship lucky enough to get a skate gig, you are going to hate your life, because your command will be incapable of task management and will be constantly behind and take it out you, of course, because, guess what, they have no consequences for utilizing their infinitely available manpower. gently caress the shipyards. gently caress insurv, gently caress the Navy.

Good thing on being a squadron. No shipyards. Just NAS Fallon. Sure, half the port call is spend on watch and not actually leaving the ship, but.. uhh..

Hi, Navy thread, just letting you know that personal data for more than 130,000 US Navy sailors has been hacked. You can thank a Hewlett Packard contractor, and yes, it includes SSNs. Happy Thanksgiving.
