I ride a motorcycle everyday because the 5 and the 15 are pretty much perpetual gridlock. Lane splitting halves my commute and I figure it's not the most dangerous thing I do on a regular basis so win/win for me.

https://twitter.com/cgberube/status/1108708597809246208 It would be cool to actually go back to sea instead of filling joint billets at Combatant Commands or contingency operation billets that the Army should be filling instead of IAs

There’s some billets available for IT5-6 to go to sea but they run through crab season so gently caress that.

A former XO of mine, pissed at the way the army was using IAs from our ship and IAs in general, was giddy at the prospect of grabbing an army IA to deploy on the ship with us to the middle east. He figured the best thing to do would grab a technical expert E5 or E6 and then make them a mess crank for the entirety of deployment.

It’s good that they haven’t gotten any smarter than that when using reservists. In 2002-04 they were grabbing reservists from say MI and MN and sending them to the PNW to fill out security billets, regardless of rate. Then they were grabbing reservists from the PNW and sending them to Great Lakes and the east coast, to perform security billets. Or grabbing PNW guys and sending the to Diego for security posts, and when they got there they had nothing to use them for. But numbers matter, round peg, square hole or not.

Punishing some rando soldier who had nothing to do with the way Navy IA’s were used by the army tells me this guy isn’t very emotionally mature, and I would have serious concerns about his fitness to command based on just this alone. I had Navy Reserve IS’s working for me the entire time I was in Iraq and Afghanistan. I did my best to see to it that they were used meaningfully, and given adequate training for our special mission sets. I explicitly exempted them from army stupidity like accountability formations and poo poo. I was impressed by the professionalism and capability of the reservists I got. Maybe I just got lucky but I’m talking about 20’sh people here. That said, their mere presence is exhibit A for how badly we’ve depleted the Army.

We didn't actually get any augmentees, and if we had they would have been used properly. It was just a joke with him venting about how one of our best aegis techs was standing in a desert on a guard tower instead of working on equipment.

My unit's about to deploy again. We had our customary pre-deployment suicide this week, wonder how we'll end up in Navy Times/Stars and Stripes this time. If command team not fired for XO wandering woods drunk and naked is the bar for success, well, this could be rough

My favorite was when we had two engineers (actual engineers), a programmer, a former OSINT analyst for worked for a well known private intelligence firm, and another guy with an MBA all undes in deck department because for a while there was a policy at San Diego of not giving most A-school drops a second rate, and lol BUD/S is an A-school. It even took having both SAR swimmers get injured within a week and being down to zero, causing the CO/XO to get the BMs to send some of them to SAR school because shockingly all the moron 19 year old BMSNs deck department sent kept failing and DORing SAR and other schools. Gotta keep the undes busting rust at all costs I guess cause that’s what Chief did when he was undes and god forbid we think about actual productivity or mission accomplishment.

His ship went into dry dock and he volunteered to work on equipment in Iraq. When he arrived they told him change of plans you’re now a turret gunner. He got blown up a few times but he said it was still better than being in the yards.
