babyeatingpsychopath posted:It's called PTSD, friend. Therapy will help you work through trauma. It worked great for me. I no longer have the dream where I bolt awake because I don't hear the ventilation and I'm sure I'm about to suffocate underwater. Also I can't find a set of coveralls with my name on them. Therapy hasn't made my nightmares stop, but the THC capsule before bed has helped. And the Ambien helps most nights, unless I hear something and immediately snap to. Or if I think I hear something because audible hallucinations when I'm almost asleep are awful. I also wake up when the power goes out because the ventilation has stopped. The only thing worse was after we bought a new lamp for the living room. Turns out, when the power comes back on, it turns on. So over night I woke up to all the sounds of poo poo tripping offline plus the added bonus of WHY THE gently caress IS THE LIGHT ON THE LIVING ROOM ON? So that was new and awful. I'm glad your therapy worked and hopefully one day mine will too. Sucks having poo poo to talk about that you can't talk about

Look, some of us work 18 hours a day so it's choosing between posting, sleeping, and drinking. The later two usually win.

If they can no longer find fault with the way they're being treated, then they may no longer be fit to detect danger or acknowledge changing conditions.

If they can no longer find fault with the way they're being treated, then they may no longer be fit to detect danger or acknowledge changing conditions. I'd recommend telling them they have to stay on the boat cleaning until 2000 the day before their duty day, because the Admiral "might tour our boat tomorrow". That should fix 'em right up. If they're still in a good mood, ask them why they didn't get any checkouts on their quals after you just made them pretend to clean for 13 straight hours. Put them on dink study for "lack of progress" even though they're ahead overall. For bonus points, do this during their only weekend in port for the entire summer. E: Crab Dad posted:Met some a nice Brazilian and Polish ladies. Putting the blue pinstriping on the whites was a rare pro move by the Navy, they look way sharper like that. You're lookin' pretty good yourself.

Okay, this joke has been going on for a while, but Crab Dad is a reservist, so he could never be MCPON. Clearly he would be Master Chief Petty Officer, Reserve Navy. MCPORN Crab Dad.

This final underway before we decom this crate has been such a poo poo show. Half of our Canada port visits got cancelled. Still on track for the Portland Rose Festival, which got cancelled last minute last year. An HT2 got a spot COM for fixed an oil leak in one of the shafts, saving us from a five week stay in Everett. But we'll fuckin' see, something new breaks on this bitch every day. Also I got orders to the Russell, which was my first ship back when in was in Pearl Harbor a loving decade ago.

The loving Wasp tooting their horn woke me up today.   Disclaimer: junior sailors are from my work group on our final night. Good kids. Nobody got in trouble! 23,900 people went though our line to see the ship. Time to go home and repack my bags for a few weeks in Hawaii with my real unit this Saturday.

silly, random question, but if you're disembarking from a double berthed ship, do you have to first request permission to leave your ship, then request permission to board the inner ship and then request permission to go ashore from that one i guess i'm just assuming there are gangways between them but on second thought, maybe you just hop into a launch in the first place

Yes, you will sometimes get stuck just waiting sometimes. There isn't anyone waiting for you along the bow between ships. All the action takes place on both ships' quarterdecks.

Nick Soapdish posted:https://twitter.com/ThrustWR/status/1664010718231027712?s=20 Well my flight was 7 hours delayed going home but otherwise it went super well. Not gonna lie I work/walked my rear end off(averaged 18k steps per day with a 24k high) on it in the PR aspect and physically keeping on the move managing the line. My background with security and bartending for people skills really makes this cake for me personally but a few of sailors simply couldn’t handle the 100th a stupid question was asked or people trying to break line management. Told the handful of kids who was serious about enlisting questions to go to college first for AA degree so quality of life would be better or simply look at the officer side of the house. Otherwise didn’t give advice just what I’ve done as a late life reservist.
