There were like 9 emails in an otherwise dead folder of mine where retired folk decreed the death of the sea service due to this change. How many Ativan did they have to feed the chiefs mess to get this small insignificant change through?

Wake me up when they don’t care about facial hair and focus on uniforms that take the local climate in effect. Short sleeve NWU in Hawaii with shorts.

Look, you can roll your blouse sleeves up in the most awkward, bizarre, and uncomfortable way possible, that used to leave nasty red marks on my biceps. What more do you want? No, you cannot unblouse even though it's 95 out and humid as gently caress, wear your thick rear end "shirt" that's closer to a jacket.

I remember moving water tight hatches off the ship (carrier) in 95+ degrees and our chief told us to deblouse while we’re working so we do and we got stopped by every single chief as we have these 70 pound doors in our hands from hanger bay 3 to hangar bay 1 and my first response was always, “it’s loving hot chief” and it just kept going until I said, “our chief told us to” then they’d finally leave us the gently caress alone.

Yeah I’m not the most buff guy but even I get circulation issues when I properly blouse my top. This said I did go to a dry cleaner in Virginia Beach (behind the hooters) who offered to do a sneaky permanently bloused NWU top by removing two layers of folding so it still looked properly folded but wouldn’t come undone and less bulk… I should have done it.

We had the A/C units down in-hull in Ballston Spa, and it was like 105⁰, the shift lieutenant ordered us to deblouse inhull. LCPO comes in later and throws a loving fit about it, telling us LT can't authorize uniform changes and we shouldn't have listened to him and poo poo. Same dude who's favorite hobby was measuring the female officer's buns with a loving machinist scale. "I can't take my jacket off when I'm way too hot" is one of those things you can't explain to people who haven't experienced it.

So I was delivering some Girl Scout cookies and when I got out of my car I noticed a fire alarm and very heavy smoke coming from an apartment. The person I was delivering cookies to ran with me to the apartment and while I went in to check for people he grabbed an extinguisher and put out the active fire on the stove. There was a woman and child and they were fine. The smoke drove us out but the fire was apparently dead when the FD showed up. I want to bring his actions up with his chain of command since he’s just an E5 and things can matter. What’s the best way to bring his actions to light for them? I’ve never considered this for anyone before but I was pretty impressed with his actions (and stamina, I’m coughing up a goddamn lung).

Crab Dad, while you're doing absolutely everything right and elevating this sailor to showcase the outstanding work he did to put out the fire, I really hope that someone is making sure you get some recognition too. You made certain that the mother and child were safe and got out of there.

I had a reservist show up late one time on a weekend, no big deal I was like what's up, "Sorry about being late." No worries it's a reserve weekend if your boss doesnt care I don't care and your boss isn't changed out of civvies yet. Anyways an hour or two later the police call asking for some information on the reservist. I think the worst but turns out he had stopped for a disabled car, which was on fire, he had smashed in the back window and crawled into the car, then pulled the driver out through the rear because the doors weren't working. When I asked him about he was like, "I didn't say anything because I didn't want to get in trouble." BRUH

That's literally navy and marine corps medal territory what a crock of poo poo. Homie literally saved two people's lives which is what that medal is generally awarded for. If they think that running into a burning house is not at the level of a Navy and Marine Corps Medal, a Bronze Star (without V)may also be awarded for heroic action, and is lower in precedence. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:19 on Feb 24, 2024 |

ded posted:no no no. the NAM is for when the yeomen file paperwork on time No, a NAM is not a Navy and Marine Corps Medal. A NAM is bullshit candy, a Navy and Marine Corps Medal is awarded for heroic action at risk of ones own life to save lives. It's pretty high precedence but warranted for running into a burning building to save people's lives. Crab Dad, literally both of you should be getting that awarded. You have a compelling case to get that medal, and a loving captains coin is a cop out. orange juche fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Feb 24, 2024 |
