You rotated circadian every week? That doesn't help much. By the time you start adjusting too a cycle you're rotated again.

Guess I feel lucky I had port/starboard 12-12 for my ship and Afghan deployments. Ended up knowing everyone else working around that time and just things seemed better. Long days but short weeks.

As someone who has done multiple deployments 6-6-6, circadian weekly, and circadian biweekly, let me assure you that the improvement in quality of life going from 6-6-6 to circadian weekly is vastly greater than the improvement from circadian weekly to circadian biweekly. Also as someone who did a deployment 4-section I highly recommend being overmanned.

What's the deal with the aligning EAOS with duty station length instruction that came out? Everyone at my command is freaking out over it. Had 3 different 1st classes going around telling everyone they were gonna get extended involuntarily till their prd if there EAOS is before their prd. I haven't had time to read it but that doesn't sound right.

Virginia Slams posted:What's the deal with the aligning EAOS with duty station length instruction that came out? no it isn't involuntary. here's what I gleaned from the navadmin: co's authority to extend sailors without cway is now permanent where before it was just a pilot program. any new pcs orders will include obliservs that extend EAOS to PRD. Anyone currently in school that has orders already cut has the option to align as well or execute as written. Current people in the situation where they are out before PRD now have unlimited option to extend up to two years to align the dates, but nothing seems mandatory.

I don't quite understand how watch rotations still can be a topic today, by all rights it's something the British should have had figured out in the 1700s.

Either you're talking about the serious let's build a carrier yards like Newport News or things have really changed. Both times I was at Metro Machine, it was shady as gently caress. The "helpers" were getting fired daily for everything from safety violations to fighting to sleeping on the job and there was never a shortage of new ones.

A little more intel on the kid who holed up in the Shiloh's engine room: https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2017/12/30/exclusive-how-peter-mims-spent-a-week-hiding-in-a-warships-engine-room/quote:Before he disappeared from the cruiser Shiloh on June 8, Mims was known for making crazy-yet-sincere claims. Shipmates recalled him saying he had been to space, and that he could shoot fireballs out of his hands. How do you smell urine and poo poo and go "Yeah smells like fuel and oil.". Sounds like an awful command climate drove someone with issues way off the deep end.

The supervisor probably didn't even write that eval regardless. Some jackass 2nd class probably cut and pasted a bunch of bullet points from other peoples old evals on the share drive and someone up the chain just signed it. EDIT: Also my friend's eval had 'Needs more Jesus in his life' since he wrote his own. Blackchamber fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Dec 31, 2017 |

I bet if you could find an eval from 20 years ago it would sound nearly the same as they do now, just with slightly different 'point' scales.

There are only so many awful canned Navy phrases you can squeeze through the alcoholic holes in the brain of your trusty Chiefs and above. Apparently changing anything to be better is against the rules. Gotta go with the stuff their old chiefs liked. And they went off the stuff their old chiefs liked...etc etc Moral of the story is drink until it makes sense. Edit: Action. Impact. Result! This bullet needs work NAVY MENTOR. Dedicated 6 man minutes to educating civilian and joint service members on naval evaluation process. Efforts led to 3 promotions and a 100% increase in having a dick sucked from the back. ***MY #1 EP.

One time Sarkazm and I put "Has a really cute wife, for a dweeb" under a technician's strengths on a midterm. He did, and I still have no idea how he duped her into marriage. We were seriously hurting for strengths.
