I just had some fuckstick PO1 shipmate me at the scif after seeing me an hour prior buy a soda at the 7-11 and not removing my cover. Who has time for that poo poo? Like maybe a little comment while there but to bide your time and very publicly bring it up is just loving dumb.

I am super salty how you got in a few months before me and I'm not even eligable for my 15% advancement to E4 until September.  But I've already accepted my fate as a terminal airman.

My life will be hell when I finally get activated because I dont know poo poo and will be expected to perform at some level remotely linked to my rank and I will be considered a liability and shunned by all the actual competent people around me. At least this is what I've been told but sounds about right.

Because there are only 10 carriers in service with one coming online soon and the navy needs 12 active right now to complete all it's missions. Of the carriers in mothball status, the kittyhawk is in the best shape and doesn't require any type of reactor work.

They're going to pull her out, spend several billion dollars refitting and patching her up, and they'll maybe buy a couple deployments for it. She wouldn't be ready for several years anyways so idk why they're doing it.

I got absolutely everything documented while I was in. The VA contract docs didn't give a poo poo about any of it and did their own exams. I got money for my bad knees (that I went to medical for YEARS about) that the Navy told me were fine, and 0% for my very well documented hearing loss. VA Disability is a crapshoot, man. But it's worth it for the free parking alone, in my state. DV plates are free, for anything above 30%, and disabled vets don't pay for parking. State Law. Every time I go to a game it saves me $20.

Did you submit on your own or have a VSO or representative do it? I'm not paying a lawyer, but apparently doing it through the VA website makes it less likely that you can file poo poo later on down the road, which is something that I will more than likely have problems from my current service-related injuries. Just wondering if it's worth using a VSO from a VFW or similar.

Just wondering if it's worth using a VSO from a VFW or similar. I submitted mine through the DAV. I was armed with a spreadsheet listing each issue/date of diagnosis/description/frequency/length/current treatment - example: Left ear/ none/ loud tonal ringing/ daily/constant/none. Right ear/ruptured eardrum Dec.99/hearing loss/daily/constant/none ETC It helped a LOT. The DAV rep also asked a lot of questions, and frankly the C&P doctors are great. They WANT you to get covered and treated. Navy docs loving suck. The only issue I had was the psych part. That was a painful process, proving my assault over and over again to the VA (different offices and people,) despite CO's mast paperwork and police reports, and actually finding a shrink that doesn't suck. Still trying that, actually. But YMMV if you're not a lady goon in TX. OH also, it was backpaid to the day I MADE my appointment with the DAV. 2 months before I actually filed. I got 7 months backpay. That was great.

On deployment we had a sadbrains who tried to get out of the deployment but failed. While we were transiting the indian ocean or in the gulf (can't remember exactly) early one morning, a PO2 didn't show up for his watch at 2am. Someone went to his rack to look for him with no dice. They then searched all of his workspaces with once again, nothing to show. After about 30 minutes of looking, this was all reported to the OOD, then the CO, and man overboard was called. The entire ship was woke up and had to muster, and then we sent search parties throughout the skin of the ship and topside. We turned about and started tracing our steps hoping to find him. Finally one of the topside search teams found him asleep next to the rear CIWS mount. We had a suicide watch for him for the rest of his time onboard before he could get heloed off. There was no NJP. Instead he got medboarded out.

It's not MIDRATS if it's not a single loaf of stale white bread and a jar of jelly, no peanut butter, maybe some leftover french fries or two hot dogs if you are in the filipino mafia.
