Just got introduced to Sailor 360 at a CO's call. This should be interesting to see rolled out over a deployment.

Chief initiation season is when the chiefs spend a month proving that the ship continues to run perfectly fine without any chiefs doing any work at all.

I haven't had much interaction with Chiefs apart from my RDCs at OCS, at the FRS they mostly keep to themselves/scare/teach the enlisted students. That said I had my weirdest encounter with a Chief the other day. I was dropping off cookies to the break room when one of the random Chiefs rolls in. He was pumped to meet the cookie guy but then he immediately dipped into telling me (and several people in the room) his life story about how he was former EOD and had been shot a few times in the desert and blown up a couple of times. He even pulled out his phone to show us x-rays to show us the screws in his body for his bones. It was cool and all, but in between the photos, him telling us about how he'd fought his med discharge to a court-martial (is that a thing?) and his dozens of concussions, I was mostly thinking in my head a combination of "how the hell are you alive?!?" and "all those concussions makes me think of that cowboy football character in Not Another Teen Movie." Nice guy though, really liked the cookies.

That's weird and doesn't really make sense. You'd only lose your crab (EOD qual) and have to convert if you were being kicked out of the job for cause. Wounded EOD techs, if kept in after a med board, will get to keep being EOD techs. I know at least three techs on active duty with prosthetic limbs. Probably more to that story!

Yeah I didnt really press, it seemed weird, but I didn't really feel like pressing since Im outta there in like 2 weeks. I figured there had to be more cause than injury since the dude was now a maintainer.

Yeah that doesn’t make any sense. Probably EOD support who tore his shoulder playing basketball. Reminds me of this one OSC who was support for a team and called himself a “shooter.”

I have one final question to pass on from my remotely deployed son. He just found out his next assignment will be to the USS Blue Ridge, and would like to know if anyone has any stories or impressions. His rate is IT, and he says he'll be going to sysadmin and *whatever the ship intranet is called* training first. Thanks again

gently caress. I’ve heard that being part of ships crew is average but belonging to the admirals staff is cake as hell. I looked into a reserve ADT but it fell though like theses things frequently do. The ship hits a lot of ports.

US sailors have a tiny amount of demand due to LNG and the fact that noone else has boiler techs anymore. The merchant ships will be gone in the next year though so the only remaining OFBs will be in the RRF and, apparently, the USN. There is no US LNG so you are looking at a bit of a skills gap (nucs might be able to fill?) pretty quick if nothing changes. I think that's correct? The state of the RRF is pretty scary, anything on the scale of GW1 would be just a bit of a struggle.

Dude is gonna work a bunch of hours but his shore leave is going to be plentiful and awesome as hell (as long as he doesn't suck at his job).

Pollutions. Pretty sure the USCG just wants those hulls gone though, especially after the El Faro.

Yeah MARPOL annex VI is killing off anything that doesn’t run on diesel, in practice. Scrubbers don’t really work yet. It’s going to gently caress up a lot of things.

SRB shutdown message came out today. Murdered a lot of SRBs. Still hoping for an April fool's because that was 90k for 3 years in my nec/zone. Two of which I already have an extension to get rid of. At least I can wait till next fiscal and hope.
