Crabdad is part of the printer QRF; if any ship in the exercice has a printer malfunction the onboard crew can’t resolved, he gets airlifted to the ship that needs help, Hunt for Red October style. You think that goon who carried a printer across town to help out a girl was heroic? Try jumping off a helo and swimming to a submarine with a box of toner on your back. o7

Well I don't know about "omelette", but that was a tasty pile of fried rice with a thin layer of egg draped over the top.

Our loving customer support center who is supposed to handle this poo poo just tapped out and gave them my personal phone number. It happens. I was kinda pissed, but we got it taken care of.

This consists of changing some dates and times in a template, then sending it to the XO who fills out the summary The xo then sends it back to me. Then I send it to the duty IT who then sends it to some messaging gateway because it's the past. The duty IT sends me the copy that the messaging gateway sends back to him and I send it to the XO.

I was standing quarterdeck watch at building 518 in Groton while on shore duty. I was a second class and the evening shift was basically just sitting there trying to stay awake. Like most watches. I got relieved and went home, came back the next morning to find some chief on the quarterdeck screaming at me about not standing a proper watch. My chief was just coming out of the elevator so he grabbed me and took me to his office to let me know what was up. Apparently some debt collectors called his house the night before while I was on watch. When the chief asked how they got his number, the collectors said they called his work. I absolutely had access to the home numbers of the chiefs stationed there as staff and I 100% never got a phone call or gave out that number. I said something along the lines of "so debt collectors finally got a hold of Chief Bagadonuts but somehow I'm the problem here?" My chief said that was also being looked into. He lost his clearance not long after that. All he had to do was not stand outside the Commander's office screaming about STS2 Flyinglemur and no one would have known Well, that and pay his loving bills on time

ded posted:being in debt that you cant pay off on time is a red flag for a clearance It's honestly crazy to let it get that far, too. I've seen a lot of people go through it. I even went through the adjudication process myself when first issued a clearance (but that was primarily because of a bunch of erroneous poo poo on my credit report.) If you're working things out with your creditors and setting up payment plans etc, you'll usually come out alright as long as you stay on top of it. If you ghost your creditors to the point that they're going to collections and then you're ghosting *them*... then yeah you're gonna have a problem.

Crab Dad posted:Also fml that would have counted towards my chief test no? The fact that you've made it this far without knowing this is awesome. A solid 80% of IW chiefs I've known have had no skills beyond knowing "how to make chief." Yet you remain focused, unbothered, in your lane, moisturized, flourishing. I look up to you.

So I spent 8 hours today throwing away a couple hundred pounds of old AV gear from multiple generations of equipment stashed away in every nook and cranny of my departments area. Also may be getting an invite to to comeback on some more orders. Details to come. Wrapping up my time on the island and I'm pretty happy with my per diem expenditure. I may actually bank a little even after my loving refrigerator and dryer dying the moment I left my house.

Been underway for 3 days and my chief completely lost his poo poo earlier. Asked me and one of my FC2s to leave the space for five minutes. The door had barely shut before he started absolutely wailing on something. His knuckles had band-aids on them later. Ocean Madness. Cabin Fever. The Wet Willies. Just jerk off, my guy.

Question for brown shoe types, I swear I saw an E-2C takeoff from Dover AFB today. It had the dish but was small and making quicker (then again everything is smaller and quicker compared to C5s and C17s), what's up with that being up in Delaware?

Probably doing a touch and go, that's a convenient range from Norfolk for a ~2 hour training flight.
