I'm glad they are doing something, and I hope they put something on there about how you ensured that the other sailor got recognition above yourself.

The EDO who was my old battalions CO, CDR Troy Bailey, after I left was selected. During the first deployment he skippered a troop on a detachment drowned. CDR Bailey visited the detachment and, per the more junior troops, did not talk to them about what happened, or talk to them at all. He did yell at the OIC and other senior personnel about their projects not being done fast enough, though. Hoorah!

When I was doing my conscription a soldier from the other batallion in our camp drowned when his vehicle broke the ice and sank in a swamp during an exercise. Our CO did a "debrief" with us where his message basically was the "Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make" speech from Shrek.

I used to keep eyes on the selection lists every cycle just to catch a glimpse what people were up to. We have now gotten to the point where almost everyone I knew are at 20 or very close to. There is one person I want to see make Master Chief. Hopefully she made CWO4 and I just missed the memo.

A few years ago one of the guys I went to A-school with came through our lab for training... as a chief. One of those sobering "gently caress, I'm old" moments.

Any day I don't have to shower in a cramped rear end moldy shower stall aboard ship where the water oscillates between ice cold and literally coming out of the shower head as steam (our water heaters for the heads used steam heat exchangers, and their temperature control was not the best) is a good day.

All the dudes I trained who are still in are putting on anchors, and I'm just here chilling and using a shower that's not pointed directly at my nipples, and which almost never rocks back and forth really violently while in in it.

If I go back to that part of Manhattan again, you seem to have a good handle on getting to shows and I'd like to find out your process because it doesn't feel like "Seatgeek" or "random dude standing on street". e: I was considering "Crab Dad Fleet Week Extravaganza" but its not good enough. I feel like it needs to be something related to when he inevitably (and deservedly) makes Chief and a celebration to his baller hookups for his TADs. King Crab Dad is right there.

I made board first time up, I responded by telling them I wasn't reupping and forfeiting my reenlistment quota. Turns out if you have a bunch of EPs and the percentage is in your favor you can accidentally slide over the bar to make it into the board list. Whether you get anywhere after that is entirely up to you, and I chose to GTFO.
