Idk your pattern seems pretty clear that you bitch, then just do whatever you’re asked to anyway, complete with stern finger waggle and statement that it will never happen again, until it does.

I bitch and vent here. The response from the field grades with any and all push back is basically "suck it up", "yeah it sucks but do it anyway" or "you're wrong". Recently the staff and company command teams unanimously pushed back on something in particular to no effect. My take away is that the field grades, BN Commander in particular, feel that their judgement is never wrong and that we're just a bunch of babies that can't manage our time.

To be fair you'll probably get a reprieve when you get PCS orders to attend CGSC at ft Leavenworth. So you have that to look forward to

I also need my BN Commander to approve me taking part in the corpate fellowship program but I can't apply for the spring or summer program until the end of the year. He's already reluctant to approve people as it is due to so many officers getting out, he's definitely not going to sign off on it if I'm in gently caress it mode. As it is I only do what's required of my job, I don't participate in any of the extra bullshit like all these comepitions and poo poo we seem to have all the time now.

Senior leadership will interpret this as a lack of "heart". Your best recourse is malicious compliance and recognizing now that you've become what you despise. Let the hate flow through you.

Went to the VA and got an appointment for a primary care doc, then went to express care and told the PA my shoulder is hosed up (it is). She ordered some x rays and says the phys therapy folks will call me plus gave me a bunch of ibuprofen. Time to find out jacked up my arm is! Hopefully that stuff won’t cost me out of pocket since it’s stuff related to an injury I got overseas... its curtains for Kevin fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Jul 10, 2018 |

By you do not understand how this works at all do you? By making yourself actually useful you are making it highly unlikely he’ll sign off on task mustang with dumb poo poo time over to something that actually benefits you. Meanwhile if you become a goofy fuckup that passes every bit of your job back up to him he’ll sign off to just not have to look at you and assign someone else the fuk fuk army poo poo.

SpaceSDoorGunner posted:That's not hyperbole if anyone's wondering. Not special occasions. Daily. The wardroom mess cranks serve food. They also did our laundry. For non-navy people, almost all junior enlisted on a ship spend some time as a Food Service Assistant (FSA) aka a mess crank. There are three spots you can crank on a small boy: mess decks, chief’s mess, and wardroom. Mess deck cranks clean the main chow hall, help clean the gallery, and clean dishes in the scullery for all three meals in port and underway. Chief’s mess cranks work in the chiefs mess and mainly serve them soda and do their laundry and clean their berthing. Wardroom cranks serve the Os for all three meals underway but only bfast and lunch in port. They do officer laundry as well, but they aren’t responsible for cleaning our staterooms. There’s shittiness in each spot, but generally speaking cranking in the wardroom is better than the chiefs which is better than the mess decks.

I remember trying to explain to my uncle, a former retired Naval Officer, the difference between Army and Navy and he was dumb founded. He couldn’t get over how my Detachment Sergeant and I shared a room in Afghanistan. It was basically sacrilegious to him. My dad was also a Navy Officer also, but he went to Vietnam as a boatswains mate with the Mobile Riverine Force before he went to OCS. There wasn’t quite as disparity in understanding. He used to call his older brother a whiny bitch a lot when I was growing up so that might be part of it.

I spent some time working in a joint command and made friends with some navy dudes. The stories of port calls and life on a ship seemed really interesting. Also, that navy bases tend to be in nice places too.
