If you're running for chief a 3mc job might not be the best thing. Unless....you have every other ticket punched.

The number one thing to making chief is leading sailors. As in a division or department. As the 3m guy you aren't doing either. Sure it's a huge collateral, but you don't have sailors working under you. Number one bullet and number one thing the board looks for is leading. Take a billet where you can do that if you want to make chief.

Good idea in theory, but where it becomes a nightmare is where people who have never had an independent thought in their head get involved and use all of that stuff to get people in trouble for things no reasonable person would elevate beyond a conversation. random fuckhead posted:Well SN Timmy, says here you signed for a maintenance check to clean all the grime off this piece of machinery two months ago but it's dirty today.

For some reason I’m flashing back to the internal (commercial ship) safety management auditor who dinged us because we were a single hull ship but we hadn’t been filling out UKC declarations as per CFR 33 whatever. I wanted to hit him in the face with the regulation, because it said “single hull tanker” and we were a motherfucking self-unloading dry bulk carrier. Eventually it made its way up the chain, along with his recommendation that the deck officers receive more celestial navigation training (On the Great Lakes ffs), and we never saw that auditor again. God I’m still pissed.

Is the 3MC billet coded for a Chief or a First? Because if it is an E7 billet the breakout line and bottom line on your next eval writes itself

So they're gutting tuition assistance pretty hard. Can only take 120 credit hours your entire career, 12 hours a fiscal year and unwaiverable 2 years in before you can even use it.

I wish they'd just have it be based on for profit schools exploiting the DOD and VA. For every junior enlisted chipping away at an undergrad from UMUC, Penn State global, or any other brick and mortar institute, some junior officer working on their MS in Strategic Leadership from University of Phoenix, Regents, or Liberty.

Was planning on using mine to do a master's after a quick break from finishing my bachelor's . TA has ping ponged from loose to tight regs so loving hard the last few years. This and the CTN bonus going to zero make it seem like they don't want anyone in

Turns out I’m an junior enlisted warrior again after discovering my last TAD command submitted literally none of the paperwork for my frocking even though I literally pre made them two copies of everything they needed to submit so even though I’m getting paid as an E4 I’m still not allowed to wear it apparently until I get pinned again. God forbid anyone in my chain actually do their loving job. I’m actually tempted to put in a SWCC package just for the opportunity that I won’t have as completely incompetent admin and supervisors. Who am I kidding I’m getting out and going to grad school.

Uh if you are being paid for it, just put it on your uniform without asking If you're being paid E4 you don't need to be frocked, you're promoted already.

I've heard stories from guys who served in the 70s that their first notification of promotion was their pay going up. I heard the "I went to finance to tell them there was a mistake only to find out I'd been promoted without anyone saying anything to me" story so many times that I just assumed it was normal.

If you’re paid, you’ve advanced and should wear your rank. Also, officers get promoted, enlisted people advance.

There’s nothing to be fixed. There’s no frocking that has to happen. You’re a PO3. Wear the rank and show your LES to anyone that bitches. Frocked? Yes, you should wait. Getting paid? Wear your rank.

The Navy outranks your command. If The Navy has decided your LES then that is what you are and the only way your command can change that is by masting you. Now the following IG investigation for a CO masting someone for that is how COs get relieved so please feel free to fight that battle as it will be far more fun than whatever your daily work routine is. But it won’t cone to that your command is just dumb and probably needs to get yelled at by some commodore for something anyway.
