DustyNuts posted:Finally got selected for Congrats on the selection. As an outsider who saw three seasons of Chief selectee initiations, it's weird and get used to doing everything wrong and being told how important Chiefs are. If your initiation is anything like the ones I saw, you are supposed to ask for help when work starts getting piled on. Otherwise it'll keep coming until you get overwhelmed. The lesson being you need to rely on the mess to help you get through challenging times.

Drinks are much cheaper in little India and Chinatown. My wife and I were there a couple years ago and that's where we ended up hanging out most of the time. Also the city-state propaganda is wild if you get a chance to tune into the local news a bit.

The Chief's Mess: The cause of, and solution to, most of the Navy's Problems. Could also be "the wardroom" or "the admirals" or "the enlisted." Conclusion: the Navy, since the beginning of time, is a world of contrasts, and many agree there are no solutions.

This is almost certainly too late, but to echo the "just go all out on booze because it already costs a lot" post, Singapore has a whisky library. While you're spending 100+ USD at minimum, the flights are selections of whiskies that you're realistically never going to find elsewhere.

Is there a sub-specific Navy thread, or would it just fall under this one? Was hoping to read stories from Navy goons about life on subs.

I realize the chances of someone knowing this are small, does anyone else use R2S to access their NMCI email and been able to successfully attach a file to it? For some reason when I send an email it shows as attached on my end, shows it in my sent items attached, shows the attached paper clip on their message but nothing is actually attached. Tried it both encrypted and not and it is just to other navy dot mil addresses.

LOL POTUS being such a NSW starfucker he actually pulled NAMs from the prosecutors in the Gallagher case. I mean... kinda stupid to give nams for a shitshow of that magnitude. But jag awards are meaningless anyway.

Now I'm curious if the later diesel-electric subsmight've actually smelled better because they had to be surfaced and open to the air for extended periods. I mean probably not because the sanitary facilities were next to nonexistent by modern standards but I doubt they smelled like cat piss.

Thronde posted:Wasn't there no one actively on the bridge of the Alric and it was autopilot? That would make VHF and warning the other vessel kinda moot. The Alnic has the master, who had the conn, the OOW and two lookouts. The vessel was on auto pilot but that’s standard for cargo vessels since it frees up another person for lookout. One of the lookout felt ill and went below deck sometime prior the accident and had not returned to the bridge until after the collision. They saw the McCain turn and assumed he was trying to cut ahead of them, because... warship. They’re sporty. If their AIS had been transmitting they might have tried to call them, but as it was they’d later end up calling for “Navy ship” on sixteen, which... lol. When he saw that the McCain wouldn’t make it, the captain reduced speed to half ahead, but the ship being a two stroke fixed pitch direct drive... yeah. If they’d crash stopped, it probably wouldn’t have made much of a difference at that point, the shaft reached half ahead 14 seconds before the accident. It’s all in the report. This one is 100% on the navy, sorry.

Plus a destroyer can by ship standards stop on a dime. loving nuts that a cargo ship with a Skelton crew had better situation than a billion dollar sensor suite and over staffed bridge crew and TOC
