I’m dumb, Tricare automatically covers 90 days and THEN tamp starts if you qualify. (I don’t). So good there. Can’t wait to see if I actually finally need to really request mast to get a response rather than just threaten it for my leave this Monday lol.

FWIW, unless the CO put out guidance saying otherwise, I'd be pissed that the chit got stopped at a chief and didn't get to the DIVO.

It was an MC between my divo and their boss, who then reports to the CO. Hospitals are weird. “We recycled your chit for x stupid reason” is standard here for whatever reason, just not the “please shorten it to x days” unless it’s directly from the CO herself. I’m gonna find my alpo and divo Monday and make sure they understand that it’s going to the CO as I wrote it. Chief and LPO also recommend my leave but I haven’t seen them in weeks so lol.

This story about the Navy loving you up to the last minute is making me super excited for you to get out. I remember when I got out. It was loving glorious. The glory will be yours, shortly my friend! Hang in there, and gently caress the navy!

Yeah as a fellow careerist within the Dept of Navy, I strongly recommend evaluating whether the recognition and additional responsibility is something you value over your tremendous record of having an almost completely bullshit free career. There ain't no shame in collecting that paycheck and loving off at the end of the day to go hang with your family.

Anita Dickinme posted:You’re also covered by Tricare for six months after your EAOS which I thought would be enough time to get coverage by the VA but I guess not. I don't know why but the guy getting sucked into a jet engine followed by this post made me crack up. Like, I was picturing someone explaining this to the jet engine dude while he's being pulled free from the inside of the drat aircraft he almost died in.

Wife not working or having any plans to go back to work is a pretty big deal. Staying reserves allows me to dictate the schedule a little better. It’s hosed up but it’s what my wife wants to do with with special needs children.

Clearly not the same Navy I was in LOL I’m kinda irritated right now because my PO2s that got sent to the Mt Whitney two days ago are already cavorting about in Rome whereas I only got to do a beer on the workpier (hard hats required) in Croatia. Supposedly it will be home port liberty for us next week when the 6 of get moved into hotels but for now I’m going crazy. Just bridged the high tempo mark and will be getting per diem at least. Bleh.

But, remember buddy, that means we have been out for almost a decade. You can tell your boss to straight gently caress off without going to fake quasi jail. I have nightmares about the Navy still.

We were both getting contracts at MEPS the same day. My time in the Navy wasn't that bad, but it was profoundly loving stupid. The personnel policies I was subject to were mind bogglingly stupid and as far as I can tell the Navy, rather than allow Sailors to develop or pursue other opportunities within both the Navy or other components, is more happy to drive out talented persons at a high rate and retain a large number of somewhat mentally and emotionally broken Sailors who feel like they don't have any other options. That may be more of a NCF thing, though, since that community is a complete trash fire.

Reminder this guy overheard a conversation I had with a dude at MEPS and matched it up with a story I told here. We got to catch dinner again sometime dude. When eligible to reenlist this June I will have a 5 year dwell time due to this mobilization. That’s plenty of time to pick and choose my final mob at the tail end of that enlistment. I truly feel bad for you guys who had a terrible experience and I appreciate how much you share about that pitfalls of the service. I know a ton more than the average Reservist because of you guys.
