Heh I will say that while the Enterprise was a rickety piece of poo poo that was radioactively contaminated 6 ways to sunday, at least her watertight doors worked and she didn't have cracks that let daylight in in her superstructure.

Cerekk posted:My Port Royal story is the time they called us up on BTB to inform us they'd be "standing by to receive passing honors" even though a) submarines aren't required to participate in passing honors in the first place, and b) it turned out our CO was senior to theirs. O-12 syndrome is a real thing.

The Port Royal stole our shafts. When we were in the same yard period I mentioned earlier we were scheduled to get new shafts since ours were hosed. Then she crashed into a reef like an rear end in a top hat and hosed her shafts worse than ours so she got them. Then we were building 53 for a year thanks to the shafts and MRG being so colossally hosed. hosed.

I know a guy who quit his staff and they asked a buddy of mine to fill that billet, they could probably hear the laughter all over Millington. I've never seen such a vapid AHC until I saw one of his, and that's saying something.

For the Jacksonville area, are there any spots in particular to avoid for renting a place? A few of us in my flight program are looking to rent a place down there when we go to the FRS. I'm trying to figure out if it'd be better to be closer to base or downtown. Trying to pocket as much BAH as I can.

A few of us in my flight program are looking to rent a place down there when we go to the FRS. I'm trying to figure out if it'd be better to be closer to base or downtown. Trying to pocket as much BAH as I can. There’s not really much of a downtown in Jax. A lot of the single people live in Avondale/ Riverside- gentrified and hip older area north of base. Lots of good restaurants and bars. Can be some sketchy stuff on the fringes once you get near Murray hill or Springfield. Most people will be coming in from south of the base, so you should have a pretty easy commute. Most of the traffic coming onto base comes from Fleming Island/Orange Park/Argyle to the south. Those are full of suburbs and can be a nightmare for traffic. I’d avoid that area. Some people live at the beaches or by Town Center. There would be more apartments available that way. You would go opposite traffic until you cross the Buckman Bridge, then you’d join with the rest of the people slogging in from orange park on 17 going North to base. Longer drive but generally traffic free until you get near base. Likewise for Mandarin or Southside; those are less hip and more suburban but a little closer on the opposite side of the river. TLDR - don’t live anywhere south of base on the west side of the St. John’s unless you have kids.

I live in Murray Hill right beside 17/Roosevelt Blvd. AMA. But seriously it pretty much got answered. Riverside, Avondale, and even a good chunk of Murray Hill (currently going through a regentrification) is legit. If you don't mind the commute north of the beltway can be good too. Feel free to PM me Jimmy.

If it wasn't the CO's signature on that bottom line, I'd go take advantage of his open door policy. E: I'm not saying jump straight to the skipper necessarily. Your divo, department head, or XO might be able to sort it out, but the bottom line is your skipper is the only one with deny authority for a special request like that, and if some  is holding you up, get someone above them to fix it.
