NAS Pensacola is COR 1 until the week is over. The eye of the hurricane literally ran right above us. Hell, 95% of the county is still without power and it's gonna take all weekend for just that to come back.

Stay safe man. My officer on this deployment lives in Pensacola with her parents and apparently the storm gave her a free tree and fence removal service.

Hooooo boy, they put some photos up on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?vanity=NASPCOLA&set=a.3285950861496065 Those aircraft sun shades got loving shredded. Comedy Naval air station response: "I don't see any major differences".

NAS and CID are both going to be open for business Monday, says them. We will see what level of operations substantiate open for business then, I guess. Utilities project 95% Connectivity to the grid by Tuesday night in Escambia county. Which means that people might be coming into work without the capability to have taken showers since Monday before. Let alone access to power or clean water.

Tails from my first time at sea... So word got back to our Masterchief about people complaining about the most chill posting ever in the history of reserve service. “We don’t have enough jobs, no mission, not enough liberty..... wah wah wah”. So he decides we need a little taste of more “navy” activity. Namely, Monday at 730 will be quarters for him to talk to the unit on the flight deck. Just Monday’s that’s all. He starts out by at easing us and says this will take all of 10 minutes because he wants us to get to breakfast but first a couple words, the usual stuff about resourcefulness, dedications, yada yada and toughness. It starts to rain lightly. Pitter patter. A reservist E6 raises his hand and asks that we be moved to inside due to the rain. (It’s 0742) ..... .... ... Deep sigh. “No”. Holy poo poo we deserve anything bad that comes. What a bunch of babies. And yes he let us go at 0745.

Crabman is obviously a high level Navy Recruitment officer trying out some unusual social media tactics to get people to enlist. I refuse to believe some people's Navy existence is so blissful, my mind will not allow it.

See, the more you want to be in the suck (via joining the loving seabees lol), the more you are in the suck. Crab Dad has made no attempts to be in the suck, and thus has avoided the suck. Intel and information dominance communities tend to take a bit better care of their folks than the seabees. Now it's not excellent care, but I had a CO who believed in a very permissive liberty policy, and we never really had any onerous bullshit to deal with beyond what you would expect from the basic military experience. I showed up to work at around 7, went to lunch at 11AM, hosed around for an hour or 2, and then came back and finished up a couple tasks and was out of the office by 1500. 1700 was the latest I ever stayed outside of when we had wargames going on, where we would wind up on 12 on 12 off but really I just sat around watching Youtube for that time because there wasn't actually anything for me to do. Now sea duty was a completely different experience, and much closer to awful than the above. Still had an alright chain of command at least inside of Combat Systems, so was insulated from some of the bullshit that is caused by poor leadership. orange juche fucked around with this message at 20:01 on Sep 21, 2020 |

"Tea with no biscuits" (British biscuits, a.k.a. cookies) is a British phrase for "you're in deep poo poo." As in, you're about to have a very unpleasant meeting with the Powers that Be.

i'm working on a book, and I have a question i can't seem to find an answer to. I have a character who wants to be a SEAL more than anything in his life, but for reasons I haven't yet got a handle on, that dream gets wrecked. That's where you guys might be able to help. This is all malleable based on the answer I get here, but this is the gist: this character is a commissioned officer, who has just finished his first OBLISERV. He is on the verge of renewing his commitment, after which he will go to Great Lakes, then onto Coronado. However, before he goes to Great Lakes, he finds his mother has been murdered. First question: can anyone tell me what length of time that first obliserv would be? If it's variable, can you give me a time frame? I've been poking around public.navy.mil for answers, but it's all steeped in legalese, and I don't feel confident in any answer I have. Second question: when that obliserv is up, when/where would he renew?Just on whichever base he happens to be? Would he then be told to move on to Great Lakes, where he'd begin pre-BUDS? My goal is to have something prevent him from renewing into that second round of obligated service. Maybe jail time, maybe something else, but the Navy would ask for his resignation.

KrunkMcGrunk posted:i'm working on a book, and I have a question i can't seem to find an answer to. A commissioned officer doesn't actually follow their obliserv and renew, they have to request to resign post obliserv. If they request a period prior to their obliserv it'll basically just be denied. Its probably 4-5 years unless he's a pilot.

Officer active duty service obligations differ depending on commissioning source and jobs. My numbers are out of date, but from what I remember it was 8 years after getting winged for pilots, 5 years for USNA and NROTC grads. OCS people are 3-4 years depending on circumstances. You're not finding information because you're searching for an enlisted term. Search for service obligation or ADSO instead of OBLISERV.

Officers don't really renew their commitment for a set period like enlisted members do with a re-enlistment. Once you're done with your commitment, you just keep doing new tours every three years or so until you either decide to quit and resign, or you fail to promote within certain milestone timelines and the navy kicks you out. e: there are some things that can incur an additional commitment like weapons and tactics instructor training (think TOPGUN) or taking an incentive bonus, which is basically the navy paying you extra money in order to stick around and do a department head tour or something.

This. Officers are commissioned and in until they are either separated for some reason or they resign and the resignation is accepted. The president is under no obligation to accept a resignation, though, and can keep officers working until they're done with them. I believe Obama denied Gen. McChrystal's retirement more than once because he needed him for the continuation of operation useless dirt.

What I would suggest is you figure out what this dude's job is. Is he a SWO? Then make sure he's following the SWO career pipeline. I would also specifically look at the officer buds application process because it will list when someone is eligible to apply. I would not be surprised if a SWO is free to apply at any time. Likewise, I would also not be surprised that a pilot might not be free to do so. I honestly do not know the answer, but there is a milpersman that will cover it without a doubt.
