do they still have the non-command career path poo poo they kept talking about back when I was a JO so that guys that would be terminal O4s can just go become like a permanent strike guy or something and still promote but never command?

Not in aviation at the moment. They shuffle you from painful URL job to URL job (all no flying) until you tap out. I'm coasting on prior time to hit twenty before my first O-5 look (assuming everybody doesn't bail to the airlines and bump me up early as gently caress).

But mostly you are correct, I got lucky. TErminal O-4 ain't so bad though.

Yeah, theoretically, but not in the way you are probably talking about. Once you've failed to screen for your next milestone and are non-due course you can track yourself all you want as long as you follow your new sea/shore rotation.

Ran into a retired navy officer who switched from 04 to warrant officer in the army so he could continue doing ship stuff in the reserves. Loved it apparently.

Gents, someone here has probably dealt with this. I'm being sent TAD for two weeks out of state, I live in the BEQ. I do not recieve BAS, should I have BAS activated, is there some kind of missed meals provision? I know the standard is "gently caress you" and "that's what per diem is for" but gently caress that, there has to be something in black and white addressing how not to get further hosed monetarily.

Yes you should get BAS for the time you are TAD, if I properly understand what I just read in the DoD Financial Management regulations. And hey, I have a Financial Management subspecialty code so I must be right! e: I keep reading this and I'm not sure if I'm right or not. Maybe DustyNuts will show up with the right answer. e2: After talking to my LPO I'm reasonably confident I am correct. vulturesrow fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Jul 7, 2017 |

Do I need to be in uniform when I get my IRR card, or is it civilian attire?

And hey, I have a Financial Management subspecialty code so I must be right! Its been many years since I worked travel stuff, but I think that as long as you're not required to use government messing at the TAD location, then you should receive full BAS + the per diem rate. But you're not going to get paid the BAS until you file your travel claim. As far as that IRR ID card goes, based on my understanding of the instruction, you don't need to be in uniform since ID card photos are supposed to be just your face (most offices don't issue them that way). If there's a uniform requirement, then it's local policy. You are supposed to maintain uniforms in decent condition during IRR time, but I know a lot of people that dumped all of that stuff off at Goodwill on their EAOS.

Some admiral talked to our unit today. Like any good junior sailor I whined about my GTTC problems. Of course his staff took my name. Maybe I'll get payed before the end of the year. Maybe.

Your chain of command is going to chew your rear end six ways from sunday, you'll get at least one counseling statement, and your GTTC problems will still probably not be solved, or will be in the most negative way they can get away with.

I'd agree but all my problems are from while I was at my last NOSC (800 miles away), previous unit and this was my first weekend with my new unit.

I am currently experiencing what is easily the worst port call I've had in my almost 20 years. If you're ever told you are going to India, just go ahead and lower your expectations, especially if you are on a carrier (and thus have to anchor out).

Get back to us next week when everyone on the ship has the runs because the ship is pulling water out of that harbor and nothing can kill what's in Indian water.

Great Lakes is under water right now. By some miracle our place didn't flood, but we're like the 1 in 4 that can say that. Cars floating away, classes being canceled. Good stuff.

In terms of sheer volume of bad things happening, absolutely. I can't say there is any one event that can top that in of itself though.

Dude youre all gonna have the screaming shits. Dont fuckin drink the water. If youre on a carrier youre in the same place where their sewers discharge and the carriers treatment plant wont be able to handle what youre gonna be sucking up from the anchorage. I wish i was kidding.
