Pretty half-assed attempt, but it got him out of the Navy, which I guess was his goal so good job I guess. Belowdecks carries a weapon now? gently caress sake. All I ever had to worry about was that dumb belt.

Hey hey everyone! Three months later and I just graduated OCS! Next stop Pensacola Florida for aviation training! I wanted to thank everyone here again for all the advice they gave me for making it through the program. My next goal is to be a competent JO who doesn't bumble through everything or screw things up badly for the people I might end up in charge of.

Pretty goddamn cold, and somehow my duty section always seemed to be on deck the days we had snowstorms roll in so we had to shovel. One day we had about 10 foot visibility with sidways blowing snow forcing us to make a long human chain from Nimitz to Ney to get chow. And the crazy thing, apparently this was a mild winter! I can't wait to get to Florida thats for sure. orange juche posted:Lmao good luck bud. All butterbars gently caress poo poo up, just try to not gently caress it up too bad.

I actually like A-10 drivers, CJ drivers, and AWACS dudes. Compass Calls are EW brothers of course. I mostly like AWACS guys because I hate the way they get poo poo on at every Red Flag debrief ever for stuff that was in no way their fault. I saw a 1LT get savaged at one and then of the F-22 guys stood up and basically gave that rear end in a top hat the business for making GBS threads on the 1LT for no reason. It was pretty awesome.

Normal for me was topside had a 1911 (switch to m9 around the last year I was in) and if we were in another country we had a pier guy with a shotgun. edit : i mean really if a van full of assholes makes it past the gate and all the way to a boat wtf are 3 mostly untrained dudes going to do against them? or if it's special forces types coming in via the water same poo poo only more bloody. ded fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Apr 2, 2017 |

It helps if you're good but unless you royally gently caress up, just sounding like you know you were right will divert most of those BS spears.

Prowler guys shouldve known better but without knowing details you cant put in here I can't really say if they were AFU or there was some confounding factor.

So, dumb question, my orders say my report date is to be no earlier than the 3rd and no later than the 7th. I'm flying down to Pensacola today. Does this mean if I get to base today I'm allowed to just chill in the Gateway for a couple days while I wait for the rest of my classmates to trickle in so we can report all at once, or do I have to report to the quarter deck right away on the 3rd?

You lose a couple leave days if you get there on the NLT date. So if you want to chill cool, but you probably won't have a ton to do before the class convenes anyway

It's up to you, you're not required to check in until the 7th, but unless you're planning on leaving the local area this week, I'd recommend checking in on the 3rd and saving those leave days for when you really want them. I don't know where API is currently on the sliding scale of "be chill" to "full retard" (it's a cyclical thing based on how recently some dumb fucker did some dumb fucker thing), but if you check in early you're probably, at most, spending 10 minutes mustering each morning, and maybe getting a head start on some of the admin stuff. Or they may just log you in and tell you to come back on Friday.

Hey Jimmy, I read this thread everyday but never post because I知 retarded and not funny. I知 on the SNA side so I can稚 help you with much post-API but I have NFO buddies at every stage of training and in every community so feel free to give me a shout with whatever and if I can稚 help, I値l get you someone who knows better. As Wingnut said, go ahead and check-in now and save your leave. After getting all your admin and medical done, you値l primarily be checking in every morning for 10 minutes with PT 2-3x a week and maybe a couple times you値l get hit with duty. You値l sit in A-Pool for a while but you値l get to IFS/API a lot sooner than the SNAs you check in with. If you have any burning questions or need someone to show you around, shoot me a PM!
