Due to the aforementioned sensitive nature of the material I'm going to go with a vague answer here. Yes.

If you left an ET alone in maneuvering/EOS with a gun as SRO, something would get broken. Probably the gun, but regardless something would be in worse condition.

Enjoy the higher rent associated with the race season.

I'd try to make Balfour Beatty as temporary as possible. They charge higher than local rent for what you get, even in the summer.

It's a challenging program that is rewarding if you're willing to get interested in the material and learn as much as you can as in depth as you can. It also pays well, advances fast and gives you good employment opportunities outside the navy. Additionally, it's a very politically charged program. Be prepared to do things that don't make a lot of sense because they're what the program need you to do. You're going to hate that aspect of the job, in fact it's what most people complain about. If you're willing to deal with a challenging program with a good number of standing orders that don't make a whole lot of sense and having to deal with severe repercussions for what would be considered small errors in other fields you'll enjoy it. Otherwise, hold out and get your negotiator to assign you a different rate.

Oh, it's still there. I don't think they're ever going to get that giant ball of concrete down. It's just been decommissioned/retired in place.

Just got back from my first patrol. Quallified RT and I'm about 1/3 done on ships. I'm certainly glad to be back but I don't think I'll mind going out again.

I remember the MARF field day briefs. Mostly it was the class leader rattling off safety points such as "don't expose yourself to a fall greater than six feet" while the shift supervisor looked on disapprovingly.

I'm a sub ETN2 (3353) who made it off the exam. I'm thinking of reenlisting but don't know the minimum reenlistment beyond an extension. I don't feel a need to cap, if I can get 66K for a 2.5 Yr reenlistment or 6 months past my extension that's good enough for me. So does anyone know the minimum reenlistment time? I haven't had much luck looking for it online.

I think my best WTF NNPTC story was right around when spice was becoming a thing. My classmate gets busted for spice and goes to mast and then DTP and the whole nine yards. Dude then takes it upon himself to steal his roommate's XBOX when he's moving his stuff out. The roommate reports the missing XBOX and they search the guy's DTP quarters. They find the XBOX and more spice. Dude goes to summary courts martial and gets adjudged some time in the brig.

There was still a stain on the sidewalk from the guy for whom the Skipjack dive team is named when I was there.

My Grad hold was to report to MARF and sit 20 hours of DARD watch a week. This was coupled with 10 hours of food runs weekly.

Sub JOs work really long hours and get poo poo on all the time. Make sure it's what you really want to do and you're okay with this.

The area is beautiful if sort of lacking in things to do. Although NYC is easy to make a weekend trip out of so that pretty much takes care of the lack of things to do. If you're heading up to the area from the SE take a look at the Amtrak Autotrain as a method of getting a car up there - way better than driving.

Wait. How are you guys not having to clean the shitter on the sub? I've got to scrub the toilets at least once a week as part of after watch cleanup.

Of course something like this would happen as I assume divisional TPO.

That's actually my goal currently. Although I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering, so that should help. I'll let you know how it turns out in a couple years.
