lmao so apparently if we can't get things hobbling along for basic we're going to scrap sonar and just filter into other divisions to be maintenance bitches for the next deployment im really hoping thats a bad joke

My shits broke, I'll just go home isnt how most ships want to run. Your chain of command has a responsibility to utilize you and to make sure you have opportunities to develop and excel, and since sonar techs are an electrical rate, maintenance makes sense. If you're 100% sure you cant make the repairs without the part, you've done sufficient diagnostics to know nothing else can be figured out until you get the part, your divisional chain of command is watching part status like a hawk (not sure where you fall in that chain of command), you know your maintenance and training programs are top notch, divisional collaterals are squared away, you're qualified and making rapid progress in additional qualifications, your CSOSSes are verified accurate, you can locate logistics/parts data/techmans for all gear that you own then maybe you're really out of work to do. Oyherwise, working on these things while doing crossdivisonal maintenance is a good way to maintain and improve your divisions readiness while you wait for parts. Tell you what though. If I had technicians with no gear, I'd be trying to find stuff for them to do. If they were bebopping up and down the pier, training on other people's gear, building technical knowledge, and getting qualifications, I probably wouldn't throw more work at those technicians than I needed to to get my divisions heads above water. Self starting is the safest way to avoid being a place to sink hours.

I think if it was old youstafish with the same problem they would be sending the division to the trainers daily and cleaning for an hour after getting back to the boat after the trainer guys kicked us out. edit : due to the fact we would not be able to go to sea that is. no idea if they would let a surface ship deploy without sonar. sounds kinda dumb but.... ded fucked around with this message at 10:10 on Jan 28, 2020 |

YMMV based on your ship and its mission though. Regarding parts, if you're deploying soon I'd imagine they'd rip them out of another ship on the waterfront, but again, not sure what ships etc.

Obviously it depends on the CO but that was like the one nice thing he'd do for the crew. Lot of guys vaped underway until that got banned in like 2016.

Vaping underway needs to be a subplot in a (non-existent) Hunt for Red October sequel. Like someone the sub gets tracked because one guy aboard won't stop vaping and it does some crazy poo poo to the detection profile or whatever nonsense.

My last job the company only allowed smoking in state rooms and one or two other out of the way areas. The first I relieved smoked and it smelled like I was sleeping in an ash tray for a month. The permanent guy said the last time he came back he found cigarette butts under the mattress. I'm all for letting smokers suffer now. My relief 3rd broke his vape glass and left his spares in Honolulu and was doing drops to get to the west coast so he could get some spares. This wouldn't have been a problem but he charged that poo poo at my computer and vaped at it so I was getting nauseous from watermelon after a few days. I wanted to keep him happy since he was a good worker and decent engineer even if he couldn't keep his personal life together. For anyone that doesnt know, vaping isnt great but once people have been smoking cigarettes in an enclosed space for any length of time, the bulkheads will be yellow and will need to be totally scrubbed. Its almost impossible to get the smell out and a stateroom clean, absolutely loving gross. I put loving yogurt in my fridge and it tasted like ash within a few hours. lightpole fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Feb 2, 2020 |

When I was a kid, people smoked on airplanes. The first unit I checked into, the S-1 chief smoked at his desk (Marine Corps, 1987). I don't know if it was actually allowed at the time, but he did. I smoked myself at the time, and every car I had and every place I lived in got funkified beyond belief.

FrozenVent posted:My intern smokes and every time he comes back from the smoke shack the office reeks. During the SERE classroom portion when we had eighty of us crammed in a classroom, a couple of the Marines liked to go out and smoke during the breaks and they'd come back with a rancid cigarette smoke smell clinging to them. I felt bad because I told one of them (a PFC who'd sit next to me) that he might want to get one of those portable bottles of febreze because it was noticable. Instead he just stood at the back of the classroom the rest of the time.

I liked to troll one of my department heads on deployment, tell him stuff like “gotta watch out sir, you might accidentally improve morale”. Can’t remember what midwest state he was so proud to be from but he was one of those guys with a major SWOner for being a proper naval officer and “why can’t we bring back flogging” and poo poo. Can’t remember if he made major command or just a DDG. E: oh yeah the whole point of that recollection was after various arguments with the about whether or not to permanently ban smoking and some other stuff like some of the junk in the ship’s store Kalessin ofSelidor fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Feb 2, 2020 |

Being seated next to the periscope mast on a perfect night as we made the surface transit into Singapore is one of my few great memories of the navy. As is the swim call in the middle of the pacific by the equator, nothing in sight, nothing on radar, and 12,000 feet of water below you.

We did a swim call around 50 miles off the coast of Thailand and it was a very humbling experience. Being surrounded by crystal clear water on all sides and not seeing land anywhere you looked was certainly something I'd never done before.
