The Valley Stared posted:Was any reason given for why it was denied? Something about Fit/Fill requirements, we are a deployable asset and need all the bodies we can get for deployment, etc. NAVADMIN 189/20 specifically states that it's not to be used as a force-shaping tool, and strictly for COVID safety measures, but that's not even remotely what's happening. Ive been in a bubble since September, and had a ROM planned before checking into school. Its absolutely not about COVID whatsoever. Our command is telling CNSP all this info, and that we are excess, and that both of our reliefs are on the pier waiting for us, but that didn't matter to whatever loving LT we spoke with, and N1. My wife got to keep her job, which is nice. 13 years in, and this is the first time where Ive felt truly wronged by Big Navy. On the plus side, about to deploy with zero collateral duties + fully qualified, so life will be fairly easy, lol Barnacle Snatcher fucked around with this message at 10:33 on Nov 12, 2020 |

Yeah the thing is that when the Cold War ended, the Navy never came off their war footing, even after their budgets were slashed. So the carriers have going on 30 years of neglect, not 20. Ditto for smaller ships, but they have shorter lifespans for the most part. It's certainly shortened the useful lives of a lot of ships already though.

Nick Soapdish posted:https://twitter.com/USNINews/status/1326933748861054976?s=20 An unaddressed result of Goldwater-Nichols in my opinion. The mindset to separate those who operate and those who prepare favors those who do (operating concerns are more important than manning, training or equipping concerns) at all levels. Its better to be the crew member who figured it out and got the ship underway, not the one who says, "there's not a proper logistics way to get that part". Its better to be the logistician that spends the whole purse, not 75% because it was a light year. Its better to be the CO that gets underway when asked, not the one who says, "She got put away wet, we shouldn't. " Its better to be the commodore that gets 4 ships underway than 3. Its better to be the task group thats UW for 10 months, not 6. The type commander meeting 90%of the demand of COCOMs with 80% of their ships u/w is preferred to the one meeting 75% with 30% in the yards. If you as the combatant commander don't need three carriers right now but another one does, then that other one is doing more and is more important. After all, your FITREP is about how you deal with problems you encounter this year, not the ones you prevent next.

Here's a radical idea: the CINC just orders as many ships to port for repairs as will fit. Stand down the Navy for a while.

Anyone have any experience with having medical/tricare drag their feet w/r/t getting medications for themselves or their Sailors before an overseas deployment? Specifically something a Sailor is taking while stateside and tricare saying "we don't know if we will approve this or if it's available overseas"; they're going next to a major AF installation. Pretty sure the member is getting hosed with through negligence or laziness or stupidity and figured I would ask you guys for guidance about what they could do.

Pretty sure the member is getting hosed with through negligence or laziness or stupidity and figured I would ask you guys for guidance about what they could do. Yes 400%. Anytime OCONUS comes up, it's not "can we get this person their meds" but "can we guarantee at no point in the upcoming deployment will this logistical train ever suffer a shortage such that the member might be without a 90-day supply, even in the event of global catastrophe." So they absolutely drag as long as possible, usually hoping to let the person's med hold overrun their orders start date, then the problem magically goes away. Call every day is my guidance. After they tell you to stop calling, call every day. Have the sailor say something like "this is literally the only thing I have to do, every day until my deployment. It's command-directed. I'mma keep calling until SOMETHING HAPPENS." It only took me a month of that to get what I needed. Medical sucks where conditions requiring chronic medication exist. If possible, on call 1, when everyone's friendly, get an email address, and follow up with "as per our phone conversation" then let that stew for a couple of days. After that, it becomes daily.

THIS WAS REVIEWED FROM PRE-COVID TIMES: Appetizers were delicious wish I could have had that for my whole set meal, main courses were overdone and tough as leather, dessert was pleasant but left a bitter after taste. I would only recommend this if you have no other option or love bad to mediocre food.

Reminds me of the 1880s when Rear Admiral was the highest rank possible and there were no fleets, only station commands comprising at the very most five or six leaky wooden warships the average European ironclad could sink during a leisurely breakfast. Meanwhile our ironclad force was a half-dozen Civil War monitors rotting in the James River with a Lieutenant Commander in charge of watching their paint flake.
