On the plus side, the next time someone is considering doing something this foolish, we can point to you as an example of "how to make yourself miserable" and it won't have all those distracting months worth of posts about a different subject to distract them. So thank you for your service, your suffering will serve as an example to others.

A lot of new projects in the pipeline and anyways with the OPM pay bump in October it’s gonna be a big loving pay bump already.

Keeping it vague because my world is pretty small: last year, big PERS told me "you can't do [thing], we're seriously undermanned." Just now, it's "you can't do [thing], we're too overmanned." Oh well. I don't know if it hurts or helps that it wasn't personal.

Just a reminder, the only US ground forces active in Japan during WW2 were eight bored submariners who destroyed a train with an IED made from spare scuttling charges. Amongst them was the greatest  the Navy ever had.

While he had stunning evals, his exam scores were sub-par after 22 years of jade buildup from naval life. At that point they didn't give promotion points for silver stars or brass balls.

The Navy's finally naming a VA class after Barb only took them going through every dumb rear end city and state in the country. E: seriously, we are so bad at submarine names and designations.

My favorite Thunder Below memory was a dolphin pinning ceremony topside in Yokosuka harbor, the COB loudly reading from the book, slurs and all, as three JMSDF officers come onboard to ask for a tour.

Remember that photo of the F-35 landing on the new Kaga? I'm divided on whether Nimitz's reaction would be  or  or both.

Carl Vinson was one of the chief reasons Congress pushed through the 1940 Two Ocean Navy Bill, which turned out to be quite important a year later, so no real objections on that accord. Stennis OTOH is a loving baffling choice and he was a pro-segregation Dixiecrat fuckhead.

I think the Navy's avoiding museum ship carrier names, which sucks because that eliminates Lexington, Hornet, Intrepid, Midway, and Yorktown. Also there's still a Wasp in service. So, uh, I guess that leaves Langley, Saratoga, Franklin, Independence, and Ranger. Vincent Van Goatse fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Mar 29, 2023 |

Lexington and [/i]Yorktown[/i] should be a permanent part of the active service registry for sure. All them dead presidents are jealous of Jimmy Carter though, that's a warship to have named after you. As always the Brits have us beat on everything Navy related, Astute, Artful, Ambush, Audacious, those are ships to be feared. Like "oh poo poo the Brits have sent the motherfucking Ambush to hunt us down" vs "oh my, the Americans have sent the, uh USS City of Corpus Christi to find us". Only exception is Dallas, and that's just because of the nickname. E: at least Freedom and Independence are free now that those pieces of poo poo are in the graveyard.
