When we picked up the airwing in San Diego my friends always liked to go to Rei Do Godos . It is a Brazilian Steakhouse. Spendy, but had some great times there. It was the celebration location for the end of deployment vegan challenge my best buddy and I did.

Hopefully your NOSC is cool and just endorses your orders both arriving and departing your first day back. Did have to do anything with them besides getting my flight to Ft Jackson

Have my DD-214. Definitely wish I had joined the French Legion, but big ups to everyone who is contributing to the Navy's mission. This work is critical and I wish I had seen a little of what it's really all about. Namaste.

When one of you idiot officers makes CNO shut down the NCF and save yourself a few hundred million.

edit: Thank you for nice words. I have a plan, it's all good. I'm not leaving the military, I like the service a lot. I just didn't have a fun time in the Navy and got held up a few years due to manning policies from doing what I wanted.

:ohdear: Oh no, they learned nothing.

I went into the navy after getting seriously disillusioned with the marines... one of my biggest gripes being that I didn't get to do the work I had signed up for. At least the corps bullshit didn't include any manning policy issues - did't have to deal with that until I got to experience the joys of PTS.

Wherever it is you are going, please for the sake of your own sanity, get in contact with somebody that actually does the job you are trying to get and find out the real deal. Both day-to-day job stuff as well as overall [insert branch] related crap.

The bullshit may be a different (hopefully better for you) flavor, but the portions will likely remain the same size.

My orders got modded so now I’m in Norfolk for a few weeks for some various DC classes. Then I’m going home for like 18 days and back to Norfolk!
Pushed back only 40 days. Home before Christmas at least.

Yeah already done everything you stated and have had mentors in that world for years. I literally just got jammed up by lack of waivers and later manning policies or I would have been gone from USN years ago. Mr Nice! can vouch for me on this one, it's been years in the works. I appreciate the concern but it's all good.

Busy bases will always have a small traffic jam in the ~5-7am timeframe because most sailors are coming to their ships with enough time to eat/get ready before 7:30 quarters.

The main gate into JBPHH in hawaii has a mile long line at 5:30am but is basically empty by the time you hit 7. If you're rolling on base at 7, you're probably late.

Why in the living gently caress if I’m medically cleared to go to a ship do I need a separate screening to do the training for emergency’s on a ship?

Medically cleared on a ship means that you can survive at sea without any major complications.

DC trainers will actually put you in a flooding room or in a room with a fire and poo poo. It's possible to be fit enough for a ship, but not fit enough to be in a flooded room.
