So supposedly CNO is considering reinstating Capt. Crozier:

I have no idea if this is genuine, or just throwing a bone to members of Congress who are pissed off over the whole thing.

But while the attachment circulated widely, Crozier’s email did not. The email shows that Modly mischaracterized the message, accusing Crozier of sending it to 20 or 30 people, as he cited it as justification for removing him from command.

So this might be a pipe dream but I have a few connections that might be able to whisper in someone’s ear and I’m looking at Milpers 1910-102 and there isn’t anything disqualifying me from commissioning in another branch.

I’m thinking that since the Navy is going to continue to stall for months on end on the processes I need completed for my c school package while refusing to allow extensions on my submission window I may as well give up on doing anything interesting the rest of my contract because I’m sure as gently caress not obliserving just to go green side. Going to my state’s national or air guard would guarantee that I don’t get the opposite of what I asked for in terms of location like I’ve gotten x3 with the navy and allow me to start pursuing a not-online grad school and working towards my interests. And I’d be an O so at the very least I’d be helping other people deal with bullshit more than my current situation at my command where I’m maxed out on my days off just trying to get simple things done and track people down.

So I guess tell me if you’ve ever actually heard of anyone pulling this off and why this is a terrible idea which it probably is.

Plus personally I’d rather do army-er things more and I’ve really soured on the Navy due to my own personal interactions with Chiefs and Navy O’s versus counterparts in the Army or USMC I’ve met who while not great have been miles more impressive.

Why do you want to be an officer, vs literally anything else in the world?

Be an officer and get poo poo on part time in NG where I want to live versus get poo poo on full time enlisted in the Navy seems pretty straightforward.

The milpers also requires a commission to be eligible for most types of inter service transfer.

You're deluding yourself if you don't think there's just as high a percentage of poo poo khaki in the Navy as the other branches.

That said, if you DO decide to commission, stay away from the Air Force. It's officer corps is made up of a disturbingly large number of libertarians and crazy religious types.

Also, YOU'RE deluded if you don't think civilian life doesn't have low rung people poo poo on constantly in far less fair ways than the military engages in.
