mlmp08 posted:On the other hand, I knew an O-3 who was separated early without severance for sleeping with one of his enlisted soldiers administratively as a sort of plea deal to let him avoid UCMJ charges. Should have just charged him with beastiality and moved on. Because the enlisted are basically sled dogs, pulling the gentry class to greatness.

If you've got time to lean, you've got time to gently caress poo poo up bad enough to get your CO fired.

Campbell from Afghanistan. He got his second command, running the air assault school, downgraded to a regular staff job as a result.

Story time! (E; Not a noble story) We get back from underway on a Sunday morning. Monday morning I come in two hours late and a new chief makes me breathalize. Luckily I biked 14 miles to work every day, because I blew a 0.18. XO pulls me aside for 'disciplining' and asks why I was showing up to work drunk. (Note 2, I didn't wake up feeling drunk in the least, a separate issue) I explain how I went out for dinner and midway through eating my roommate (a bartender) tells me welcome back but that they're working a double shift and won't see me tonight. I decide to go stop in rather than turn in and her and the rest of the bartenders all treat me to a lot of free Jameson. I leave and fall asleep at midnight. I know this because she got out at midnight and took a picture of me asleep on the floor next to my bed at like 1210. My XO says drat and then we get into a discussion about the merits of different whiskeys and the virtue of having friends in the service industry who give you free stuff. He asks if I'm ever going to do that on a work night again, I say no. They do a halfmast for me and give me the book but tell me the sentence is commuted until I fuckup something else alcohol related and tell me to inform engineering department to stop drinking so much. 11 months later we get an excellent on ORSE and a NUC (by all accounts knocked down from a PUC recommendation that made it to pacflt before getting killed for a specific yet also hilarious reason) And that's how navy ownership work so well M_Gargantua fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jun 29, 2017 |

But for anyone in the know getting an excellent on ORSE is the real impressive stunt. ~street cred~ We were like 50% alcoholics which may as well have been 50% of the success post deployment. Like I know there were real reasons but good luck getting a crew that fuckig amazing on a boat by sheer luck.

We pulled out of Manta Ecuador still all so drunk that the Captain threw the nav brief out the window, asked anyone who stood duty last night to raise their hands then pointed "Deck, Conn, Helm, Throttle, Lookout, Navigation" then collapsed back in his chair and put his hat down low to keep the sun out. All I heard from CIC via sound powered phones was retching into a trashcan. That was a patrol with a Navy group and it sucked so bad because they had insane liberty restrictions that nobody told us about like no khaki shorts. That was the same patrol where we asked for the battlegroup's coordinates, got them, steamed there, found nothing. Called back and they had given us North instead of South. So we crossed the equator like 4 times that night. The highlight of that patrol though was one of the port calls where someone (the Commodore) decided to do a simulated attack on the Cruiser with small boats without telling the captain of the ship who very nearly weapons released on them.

They're building a new one in Georgia!!! Let me expand on what I have seen to nukes who attempt to quit. It's not normal limdu where you do nothing but jerk off after mustering at 8AM for a few hours and then go home. They cut you special nuke orders(Non PCS, non-accompanied, seabag only) and you go work for a shipyard doing non-nuke stuff or "EZ Nuke" stuff under strict supervision(daycare level) for 8+ hour days with constant musters/inspections/lovely quality of life after work, until you break and go back to the boat, get denuked and become conventional or separate from the Navy. If you are a submariner, they also take your dolphins.

You can take the pin, you can take the annotation on the dd214, but you can't give back the 6-12 months of learning inane poo poo that qualifies you as Submarine Warfare qualified!

So I get a phone call asking me if I am intersted in some ADT orders. Ok sure. On a whim I go check out DTS to see how my rejected voucher is doing from last December. You know, the one where they refused to pay out my flight home from Norfolk and my stipend due to it not being submited by NOSC correctly because it straddled two fiscal years? The one were I've been in contact with people left and right trying to get cleared up? Manually dropped and archived without so much as an email notifier. WTF.
