Thanks. I doubt it'll change anything, she pretty much rides whatever he says. So I have the feeling it came from him. Probably going to 1306 out of here. This place is actively detrimental to my career. Edit to say their reasoning was "I'm not ready." I'll be the first to admit I'm far from the perfect sailor, but I've A. Filled an 04 billet (as an E5) with weapons drop authority in Afghanistan. And B. Been a high ranked MP as my lowest eval, until this command. So clearly I'm the loving problem.

You "not being ready" is loving stupid and it's not for her to determine. If you're not ready, let the LDO board say so. She has no loving clue if you're ready to be an officer because she's a loving chief. I would make sure you look up the relevant navy and command instructions regarding early chief tests for board eligibility and command special request chits, but gently caress that poo poo the chief isn't the person to tell you no here.

Yep, doing just that. Thanks though. I mostly just had to vent and have a laugh about it. The loving absurdity of it was just another keynote of this command. My LDO letter would read how after this command I could overcome any hostile environment or amount of stress.

There is one hundred loving percent zero reason to deny an LDO test chit if you meet TIR. What a bunch of cock gobbling shitheads. Like holy gently caress. Push the chit through to the CO if you have to.

Echoing the others to state that a chit doesn't ever stop going up until the CO/OIC approves or disapproves. Everything up to that point is a "recommendation". Your SEL should know that, it's in the loving SORM. Super basic poo poo. That said, if you're serious about the program, you need to find an LDO mentor. They may be able to advocate on your behalf, especially if your chain of command isn't playing along.

Not a Yeoman like Dusty but, why should you need to route a special request chit when BUPERSINST 1430.16F says that you are authorized to sit the exam for LDO purposes, I don't know why it would require approval quote:217. EXAMINATION PARTICIPATION FOR LDO PURPOSES. E6 personnel and OPNAVINST 1420.1B only mentions this for E6 applicants quote:b. E6 applicants must complete all eligibility requirements I have had Sailors do a request chit for that and I feel as though it is more the process than an actual regulations requirement. Good luck

Dr. Arbitrary posted:SUN'S As much as it makes me an rear end in a top hat, I laughed. Thanks for linking the relevant NAVADMINS though, that'll be handy. I also have a meeting Friday with our CMEO staffers to discuss this because seriously, poo poo feels like I can't do anything to make this jackass happy. And now they're actively sabotaging my career. I've also been advised to request Captains Mast. That will probably happen. I've overheard said jackass saying that if I want to see the old man the counseling chits come out. I freely admit I hosed up and said some dumb poo poo, got fired from a (meaningless) lpo position temporarily, and am working to redeem myself regarding said gently caress up. I'm not too worried about the chit because I'm not afraid to own up to my mistakes and take my beatings as I deserve. But it doesn't surprise me he'd say/do some petty poo poo like that. Never mind that the chit is now 3 or 4 months old and I'm living daily with the consequences of my dumbass choice of words. It still drives me nuts that LCPO/SEL had the audacity to say "Now don't take this personally..."

Any fuckface denying you taking the test early for LDO is a loving piece of garbage and everything wrong with the navy. I don't know your exact situation and your exact command but meeting the goddamn TIR is literally the only thing I would look at for that chit. Like someone said earlier let the loving board decide you're not ready, not a bunch of shitheads that are angry at you for calling them cunts or whatever. Man gently caress Navy leadership. Edit: I probably shouldn't be posting and am irate at things because my Dad and Brother almost got killed today by a loving idiot looking at her phone on the highway but I feel like my feelings are entirely valid here. Goddammit I'm angry for you my Navy bro.

LCPO approved, chief and OIC feel I'm "not ready" to take the test. I'm working the issue, I have the option to request mast over this and I'm obviously considering it. The one counseling I've had because I screwed up will come out. I'll (again) own up to it as I have in the past. But I fail to see how I'm not ready to take a loving advancement exam.

Is your command small enough where you can just informally ask the captain if you should request mast over it? Because it definitely sounds like you need to escalate this. The OIC being your LCPO is hosed up from a organizational prospective. But I don’t if there are a dozen O-3s and 4s between you and him, or if your command being as understaffed as it is you can just ask him. Or ask whoever is above your OIC. And you can escalate even further, and if they double down on being dicks there’s a national level reporting chain designed to prevent retaliation from above.

You are only there for a week or 2, don't loving rape or stab any locals. Curfew is curfew, don't get caught in the Honch after curfew, it's the quickest way to get busted down. That said, you're likely to be busy as gently caress. orange juche fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Jul 5, 2018 |

Go to Belgium House Brews and get to know Mohan. He's the owner and an awesome guy. Bit expensive, but the food is decent (Med/Belgium food) and he is the exclusive importer for a lot of Belgium beer. Old Man Chuu-Hai stand is another place that you might get pulled off to. But yeah, you'll be super busy. Go up to Kamakura for a day if you have the chance. Really pretty place to just walk around, and the signs all have roman lettering. Other wise, be polite to the locals. Don't let the girls in the Honch make you buy them drinks. That gets pricey real quick. Maybe bring a nice camera, but that's only if you plan on visiting places. Otherwise, have cash. Yokosuka is better then other places for taking credit cards, but Japan does still love its cash. You can also get Yen from the base at the community bank ATMs.

The thing that pisses me off for you is that he/she knows that this is unacceptable and is just hoping you won't push the issue. I have a chit somewhere from 2004 that I kept while I was at 29 Palms. Chief tried to bottom line it and said no and handed it back to me. I took it straight to the OIC, who actually did have the authority to bottom line it because our CO was physically stationed at Camp Pendleton. I happened to be on duty that night and they stayed in the clinic and argued about it until 9:30 PM and I could hear everything they were saying. She kept telling him over and over he can't do that and he tried to convince her for hours (she was an O6 by the way) that he could do whatever he wanted with his sailors and if she said yes to my request he would just go behind her and tell me I wasn't allowed and get me NJP'd for disobeying his order. We were allowed to leave the front desk and go to the duty room at 9, so at 9:30 I made it even more awkward by popping in and saying I was heading to bed and to leave a note when they were done so I could log them out. She knew I was on duty but he didn't, boy did his face get red. I think he almost burst a vein in his forehead. He didn't say anything though. Magically in the morning when I came back out, his name was scratched out at the bottom and re-signed in the proper place and he checked recommended for approval.

This is why I loved my first BMC. I called him up on the day i was leaving to go take a test or something for a college program and commission from the quarterdeck on my way out. I was like “chief, i’m leaving to go do x.” He said “why the gently caress would you want to do that, nice?” I told him i was trying to accelerate my life (this was 2007) and he just laughed his rear end off before saying get the gently caress on then and hung up on me.
