He's currently TAD to the Stennis for 45 days. The prospective assignment will also be the Stennis, which will be relocating to the east coast during that time.

Mr. Nice! posted:Wait navy ground combat treated like adults? Do you mean marines, seabees, or SEAL/EOD? Cause i don’t think you have a good idea what goes on in the navy’s army if you think marines are treated like adults, and you definitely haven’t been reading any of our local seabee posts if you think that about the bees. I'm specifically talking about SEAL/SWCC/EOD. And still I'd rather be with seebees than the army. And holy poo poo I saw that naked XO story in the news. Fine Navy leadership right there.

When we got to the Philippines the roads were washed out due to rain and we were stuck in the town next to Subic. Called olengapo. There was two hotels and everyone with a dime to their name chose the same one as the officers. Since on that first day we physically could not leave the town... Also for example the hotel pool was flooded with somewhat muddy rainwater. In the actual rivers there were dead pigs etc. The hotel pool had risen to the point where it was a continuation of the part that had flooded the first floor rooms. This also meant that the water was about an inch below the deck the hotel bar sat on. Needless to say as this was the first night off after an actually taxing ~60 day mission everyone got a little crazy. Certain people buying their juniors shots. Other certain people feeding shots to those they would be breathalyzing in the morning, and as much as I recall three officers joining in the skinny dipping that the XO no balls’d

He works odd hours and just went to bed, but I sent him a text to PM you when he wakes up. His brother is also an IT (still active duty) and last year was on shore duty out of Norfolk, wasn't assigned to a ship but went on deployment on one. There probably isn't a way out of it, but between the two of them they can at least give you a good idea of what will be expected of him.

SWCC is by definition not ground combat, and navy EoD is more diver-bomb tech than land bomb tech (current forever war implementation not withstanding). You can’t compare how any special ops group works compared to the regular forces in any branch. Also SEALs are wild jackasses that usually cause more trouble than they solve.

Nick Soapdish posted:Tell that to the Imagery dude that got sent cranking. I still feel bad that those ONI and Fallon Get guys got hosed since they checked into the ship and not the PHIBRON. Too bad I was the senior enlisted for N2 as a IS1 and the ship had a Senior Chief. It has been explained to NGA that going forward they should never let “their” sailors leave the building with orders to anything other than staff. As far as the FIDs go, I think NAVIFOR has kind of set the edge so ships know not to mess with those teams as much anymore. I do know of the occasional sailor that has been offered as sacrifice to crank since they were deemed useless by their teammates.

Point I’m making though generally as you go bigger and more “line” commands get worse. The Army ships are apparently great though from everything I’ve heard though.

You can be brought back for charges or have your retiree status (and pension) revoked. Definitely safer than doing it while ON active duty, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see some retaliation from this administration.

I don't think it works that way, unless it's something that you did while you were active/active reserve or directly involves the military. Retired folks are completely free based upon my understanding to make any political statements they want. I can't imagine that someone could be successfully prosecuted for article 88 or anything like that while retired and only representing themselves. I'm barely know much about law beyond criminal law and common law specific to one state but that seems like a case where every constitutional lawyer would cream themselves for.

It’s in your retirement paperwork, it’s in every service’s regs, and it’s in a couple of DODIs. Military retirement is a change in duty status, not a cord-cutting, and you’re on the hook for offenses committed previously on AD or while retired. Affirmed in US v Dinger last year. It doesn’t happen often, but can and sometimes does.

You should have two Bugattis that you can't pay for, one divorced spouse, one current spouse, 4 children with one on the way, and the dregs of your soul crusted to the bottom of your shoes. THAT'S how you Navy right.

So here's an article I found by a pretty decent blog that covers this stuff, talking about the Generals who endorsed Trump in 2016. https://www.lawfareblog.com/law-retired-military-officers-and-political-endorsements-primer So according to them there's only been one case where a retired military officer was prosecuted for art 88 and was acquitted. So most likely, nothing any retired flag officer has done, pro or anti Trump, qualifies.
