The only time you really have a weapon is when you're on an armed watch. It really shouldn't be out of the holster on said watch unless you are using it.

You also probably haven't been qualified or authorized to disassemble it.

overseas, on post or on firewatch outside the wire, it’s expected that you at least wipe down and lube the crew serve at your position.. not an apples to apples comparison, but it doesn’t seem like a big deal.

is it explictely drilled into your head in the navy or something?

There are people that take care of all of the weapons. You check them out before watch and return them after to the armory. No one is ever just issued a weapon to carry on ships. The gunner’s mates will do all the cleaning and maintenance that the weapon needs.

Navy watchstanders should only have their weapon out of the holster when using it or turning it in.

The GMs running an armory on any ship are going to be mad as gently caress if you gently caress around with any of their weapons while you’re on watch.

It's a big deal in the sense that the only legitimate reason he would have had for removing the weapon from its holster would have been to shoot someone.

He was playing with it while on armed watch.

More like no one ever even encountered NCIS the entire time I was there. Rumor said they hung out in Roppongi, but I don't remember anyone ever actually running into them.

In Iwakuni they're watching security cameras and tossing people's rooms at the barracks for cough syrup.

Seems a little unbalanced. I blame marines.

Pretty much. You never just have a weapon issued to you unless you’re standing an actual armed sentry watch. I’m guessing he wasn’t in condition one considering he’s at a training command (i think) but still you never have a gun unless you’re actively on watch.

Because MTS is two slightly working nuclear reactors.

And yeah guns in the shipboard navy are handled much differently than army/marines. If you're the guy doing access control you get issued a gun at the start of your watch and turn that same gun over to the guy who relieves you on watch. All supervised. At the end of the day one of the people responsible for the gun will trade it for a different one and inspect the one that got carried around all day. The only time its ever out of the holster is if you're pointing it in the clearing barrel or pointing it to use it.

e; like as far as I know in the marines and army you have YOUR gun in the armory that they issue to you, and its yours to love and care for and clean. In the Navy its the ships armory's gun, and god help your soul if you so much as touch it wrong.

Makes sense! I think on the spot turnovers are gone throughout most of the Navy now adays to avoid negligent discharges, aka a standard watchpop.

Also the Navy is an organisation that doesn't permit a Sailor to check whether battery operated emergency lighting is operable without a multiple page procedure, a ruler, a stopwatch, electrical safety gloves, eight (nine?) qualifications, an e-learning course, and a designation letter from the department head, so there's that...

It is almost like the Navy is different from the Army and Marines. And that being in country is different from stateside or shipboard.

That's not at all a valid comparison, though. In one case, the maintenance of the weapon is part of the post. In the other, the job is don't touch the gun unless you need to shoot someone.

It's more similar to a beat cop deciding that he's bored so he sits on a park bench, draws his duty weapon, and starts taking it apart.

On ships the crew served weapons and small arms are all 100% maintained by the gunners mates. Regular sailors will never perform weapon maintenance or anything remotely more complicated than clearing a jam during a live fire shoot. If they’re at a CSW it’s just to man the gun and fire if necessary. If you have small arms on you, it’s specifically for a watch and you are only armed during said watch.

In other branches, would it be unusual to disassemble equipment other than a firearm? For example, as someone not specifically trained in electronics repair or as a mechanic, would it be okay to take apart a radio or truck because you're bored?

I knew an E-3 who was surprised he got in trouble for telling an E-6 to gently caress off.

For telling him to sweep the floor.

It’s the navy so 45/45, and a reduction in rate. Also suspended forfeiture of pay, because the UCMJ says not to be mean, but conveniently ignore the reduction causes him to lose eligibility for BAH. Back to the barracks and immediately into foreclosure.

Just a guess.

Depending on marital status, my GiP xlsx is out of date (nonexistant), I could see 45/45 with both pay and reduction suspended.

Comedy option: KetTarma e-mails the thread to the Command, gets referred to NCIS and he ends up processed for a General after NCIS refers his finger loving of his M9 PDW to a summary court martial as criminal negligence.

Yeah it's fun to dogpile the guy and he certainly didn't show great thinking ability, but this could be solved with a removal of weapons quals and some extra duty helping the GMs or firearms instructors teach weapons safety and associated rules/regs.

I had a hundred other guys with clean records who don't need to be told not to do clearly irresponsible poo poo.
