Apparently if they want to star they are kind of boned but other than that hold is just living the dream.

Snowdens Secret posted:I thought the two new prototypes in SC were to replace the ancient MTS's. Are they going down to 2 total? That seems a bad idea. They are building fake steam plant trainers. As of now S8G will be refilled, MARF will die, a Steam Trainer will go to NY? and Charleston will get 2 688s, and 2 steam plant trainers. You'll still have to do nuclear watches, just less of them, since the goal is to RAM PEOPLE THROUGH. (Also I've been in for nearly 3 years, and I have 0 sea time, and will end up with 0 sea time before I get out. jesus 3 more years to go. god why did they extend me by 3 months?

You'll actually get put into some nuke training division to go over the differences between sub plants and carrier plants. I think it's like a 2 month program before they even let you into the plant. I don't know this for sure because I wasn't a skimmer but didn't your prototype LPO explain all of this to you before leave?

1337_ScriptKiddie posted:Bring the sea bag? To check in on board? No. Bring your orders in an envelope or folder or something and be prepared to be given a bunch of dumb paperwork. For a submarine if you haven't checked into squadron already you'll be running around base checking into the barracks and stuff your first day or two anyway, I'm not sure how much of that is done on board for a carrier. Either way you're going to be running around a lot and you definitely don't want to be hauling too much poo poo around. I'm assuming you know if the ship is supposed to go to sea, like, Monday or Tuesday.

Yeah I am kind of excited about the fact that I will get to qualify underway.

Like everything else you've done in the Navy, just chill out and don't be a spazz. Act like a human around humans. Coming from prototype you may be surprised at what jackasses the non-nukes are, be respectful but you don't need a stick up your rear end.

Just show up on the quarterdeck and say you're checking in to reactor department. They'll send someone to get you to escort you around, probably. More than likely your first day will be spent walking around to different places to get checked in. At some point they'll probably deposit you in berthing and tell you to hang out until someone comes and gets you. There is a really good chance that people will forget about you so don't be mad over it.

Good choice on surface for being unsure how to report or not be a waste of space. You'll pick up chief quick. gently caress you and die, star asap. Edit: if no one told you that you're better than everyone else, generally speaking, then yes,address everyone as petty officer. Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Jan 29, 2014 |

"Shipmate" is always said in the same tone of voice as "cocksucker." The two are actually completely interchangeable. Checking in is not a big deal. Show up, tell quarterdeck you're new, they'll handle it from there. You're almost completely useless for your first 2 months there outside of food runs and cleaning toilets so no one will give much of a poo poo about you. They'll probably yell at you to get qualified, nub. Whenever I reported onboard, they put us on 3 section duty until we were qualified BNEQ and our first watch. The nub duty section had to strip and wax the classrooms/offices starting at 4-5pm. There was also a round the clock phone watch for the Reactor admin office. There was a scheduled food run every day that the nubs had to go on also. At some point, every bathroom had to get cleaned during the night also so that the RT chief could inspect them when he woke up.

While I never had to clean a shitter, quite often I had to clean under the drain pump after A-gang puked the strainer, and that might as well have been the same thing Our drain pump leaked sludge and ooze but I've heard some boats were like turning on a goddamned park fountain of horrors when they ran theirs Our A-gangers would dare each other to eat out of the drain strainer, and would, and nothing any nuke on board could come up with even remotely came close to that level of disgusting

The happiest day of my boat life was when I became a permanent upper level watch. When I got to the boat, there was a dude who stood lower level the entire four years he was on the boat.  I would have hung myself.

We had a guy that I wrote 3 letters of maturity for saying he should not be allowed to qualify shutdown reactor operator. He was also banned from standing the carrier equivalent of AEA. He was only allowed to stand Log Recorder Phone Talker which is the first watch you qualify. I had another guy that I wrote a letter of maturity for SRO for. He never even qualified AEA. He purposefully destroyed his knee during PT to try to get out of the Navy. Didn't work out that well for him. He probably got a VA disability check after getting out though. Here's a depressing/funny story: One of my friends was on leave at prototype. His staff-advisee was passed off to another guy that was getting out of the Navy. That guy put in a SPU package and wrote it up like the guy was a hero. He got the chain of command to sign off on it. The guy on leave found out about it and tried to call to get the package aborted but it was too late, the CO had already interviewed him and signed off on him staying as staff. That SPU would end up qualifying everything but only being allowed to stand AEA unless there was an experienced EM standing EOOW. He would still regularly be relieved off of SEO so someone else could shift the electric plant when it needed to happen. Eventually when we did our year long shutdown, the Shift Engineer would just say that the ESFEO would have to come back aft to shift the plant any time this guy was on watch as SEO. My favorite memory of him was telling him to set up a rubber electrical safety room for working on energized gear up forward. I came back 45 minutes later to see him still trying to figure out how to string up his first rubber mat. My least favorite memory of him was him going on an anti-gay rant while driving the duty van with a bi chief (oncoming EDO) sitting in the back next to the oncoming lesbian ELT. Boy that was an awkward turnover in maneuvering.. He couldn't understand why I was yelling at him. "But it's in the Bible!"
