Heading to Japan on AT this summer. What's the best solution for cell phone?

When I go over on business trips or the wife and kids go for the summer we just rent a pocket-wifi device and use our existing phones. Rather than cell calls we just do wifi calls over skype/facebook/line/etc. Last year we paid about $165 for 60 days (plus insurance) of use. You obviously don't get a phone number but we never needed one and the ability to connect a few phones/devices at once was nice.

If you're doing your AT at one of the major bases SoftBank will probably have a quiosk on base that sells prepaid phones.

USA Today has a short blurb about 11 SEALs popping hot for cocaine.

Did they think they are above drug testing?

I know a bunch of dudes were using steroids in SEAL team 6’s red squadron between ‘05 and ‘09. Coke wouldn’t surprise me, but it kinda does surprise me if that makes sense.

I worked with one the rangers involved in the black hawk down incident years ago( hell of a picture book this was back in 1999 or so). He said steroids were handed out like ibuprofen to those who wanted them (he did).

The CO awarded a reduction in rank but it is suspended for a period of time. If Mr Bad Guy doesn't gently caress up again during that, he is clear. If he does, the reduction goes into force and whatever new NJP charges.

Reduction in rank to E-5, suspended for 6 months. So I'm still an E-6, but I have to walk on eggshells for 6 months.

The most fun to see is when people are frocked to the next grade and then NJPed. Seeing a terrible PO1 showing up later as an PO3 was great.

Yeah, we had an AT go from, I think, frocked E-5 to E-2 that way. I liked to put a twist on the old ensign/2nd LT joke and say he had been promoted more times than our CO.

Last I heard he was working at China Lake doing the same job as a contractor for twice the money, so lol if you're still in I guess.

Yeah i ran into a A school classmate who got frocked E5 then missed ships movement from his “party” and got knocked down to the gutter. I heard him from across the way on the Nimitz in drydock bitching to his chief and thought .. “ I know that shitbag...”.

I think other people might be able to help you find the right resources, but you really should think about therapy. You got a great second chance, and I've seen a lot of people take similar second chances and piss them away because the underlying issues were never addressed.

The underlying issue will be addressed in about 18 months when I get the gently caress out of Great Lakes.

For real though, this was a singular moment of complacent stupidity, my head is on straight.

First hearing in the Fitz case was today. Stars and Stripes seems to have the most in-depth coverage of what happened.

I won't post my personal opinions on it. I'm mostly focusing on my grad school work and looking at stuff for my hobby.

I'm not really angry about what happened anymore, but there's still a lot of guilt. I'm taking care of myself. I've seen professionals and will keep doing so. There's been more of a focus lately on reaching out to the McCain and Fitz sailors to make sure we're doing alright, and while it's not perfect, it's better then big Navy just trying to forget that we exist.

Mr. Bad Guy? Keep your head straight for the next 6 months. People look up to you. Not trying to rub more salt in the wound, but gently caress man.

That's good to hear. You and your Sailors have been through the ringer and you should be proud. Happy that you're able to get the help you need, I think that is one thing that the Navy does better than other services with having mental health issues being important to take care of and not just ignore. Best of luck with grad school, heading back again for me.
