Speaking of Greeks, I miss going to the OB Townhouse for breakfast. I really, really want a Greek omelet again but COVID.

I ate *inside* a restaurant on Friday for the first time since mid-March. It was breakfast right as they opened and there was more staff inside than customers, and everyone wore a mask when they weren't eating but it still felt weird. I tipped 40%.

A COB cranking now and then would be a solid way to humanize yourself to the crew and maybe learn about some enlisted problems that can be fixed with the might of the anchor. But lol at actual outcomes

I never understood clampdown, so I assumed it was bad, but maybe Ops was protesting an oppressive XO and we didn't realise it.

My favorite was, "Why are MRC cards so difficult?" It was perfect because not only was it unactionable, not controlled by that admiral, and it makes the asker sound dumb because the C is short for card, but Fleet Master Chief had to jump in because 7th Fleet (at the time) had no idea what an MRC was despite it being what most of his Sailors spent most of their time doing. That sounds like im poking fun at 7th Fleet, but its important to bridge that gap. Everyone around leadership tries to shield them from the nitty gritty. You'll probably get yelled at though. Edit: might have been PACFLEET, dont recall.

I had a nonrate ask an O-6 (so I mean, not AS bad as admirals...) after sexual harassment training why he had to get permission before kissing someone. And it wasn't a question like "I didn't undertand the training" it was "Why do I have to do that and ruin a moment" He later got arrested for calling a cop 'Bro' after the cop said "Call me 'Bro' one more time and I'm arresting you instead of just driving you home." and he said "Bro cmon"

piL posted:"Why are MRC cards so difficult?" Genius and actually good question. Navy 3M is often needlessly incomprehensible, and even if it's not that admiral's portfolio he ought to have enough connection to this core competency to have an opinion.

I literally just overheard my MC talking to a 1rst about "MRC cards" and I sniggled a little. However we don't actually use them on this ship so it would be a very dumb question.

Lou Takki posted:Lol if you can't understand a MRC, they are written so even sailors can figure them out. Eh, I've definitely seen ones that went so overboard in specificity that it took a reread during the spot check to figure out what they meant, or referenced a switch with a title not printed on the switch, but described unexpectedly in one of the multiple technical manuals for that equipment, but not the one the maintenance person had. Ive also seen ones that were not executable as written--for which there is a process, but then executing that maintenance was also required by an alternate programmatic requirement, so even though you're supposed to stop maintenance, personnel are completing actions but not accomplishing maintenance per 3M program, because nobodys responded to the feedback report yet. Then a third class gets hemmed up because they marked it as accomplished because they met the description of the check, but couldn't execute a poorly written or ambiguous line of the MRC. Ideally cards are supposed to be written to be easily figured out, but in practice its 10,000 manuals written by committee--there will be failures of clarity.

Whenever there was an issue with a MRC we would refuse to sign maintenance until the card was fixed. I always told my sailors to do the same, require that the documentation be corrected!

When I was on deployment with an in-development product (with contractors onboard to support us) I submitted a TPDR for every error in the pubs. Our paper TPDR book ended up being the same weight as all three of the laptops the IETM was on. I had a thirty-page submission that was basically "your list of recommended tools is garbage."

There is a 3M check you have to do on the magtail on minesweeps before you stream the tail which is basically a check to make sure there's no magnetic leakage/cracks in the rubber casing. Typically, you run the lowest possible voltage through the tail and real it in through a hand held magnotometer. I don't know if it has changed since I read the card a decade ago, but the authorized secondary option if your magnotometer is broken is to make your lowest ranking EM soak a clean rag in salt water. Then, have them shimmy it down the tail and report if they feel any minor shocks.

Hekk posted:What is an ADCA? Assistant Damage Control Assistant? Exactly. The DCA is a second tour divo on small boys and I believe a department head on bigger decks. The ADCA is either an ensign stashed under the DCA on a small boy or a JG on a big deck that's leading the DC division and works for the DCA.

Unless it's strippers it probably couldn't beat what our civmar leadership has provided us. Thankfully I bought some sweet and sour to help out the rough stuff this time. Leadership congratulated us for not making an rear end of ourselves in Souda. Nobody needed assistance walking up the gangway so that's nice.
