I used to word shipmate unironically in an email today to make others feel bad about not doing their jobs. Where are my anchors?

I don't drink coffee or energy drinks, single sailor with 0 dependents, 69 inches and 140 pounds. Also, I saw a collateral queen picked up sailor of the quarter and I didn't give a gently caress. I have to get my IDW done in 2 weeks which is probably why I'm in such a FTN mode right now. Someone please punch me in the neck if I ever decide to re-enlist.

Wait, are you at my command? They just did the same thing to us. I should have a month and a half to finish but I need to get it done in 2 weeks so they don't throw out my book 3.

Nope, I'm elsewhere.

My books from forever ago are still good, but if you go DINQ on your EIDWS date they do a spot SP Eval without retention recommendation. You get the recommendation back when you get the pin.

I just have a month or so because I'm transferring. Would have been 3 months til DINQ if I didn't get conversion orders.

We're waiting on the Chiefs to finalize an operations walk-through, but they were too busy eating cake and celebrating today.

It feels like you've been waiting to rerate forever now. There's like one other CTN on this board and he only posted when we did that roll call a few months back.

Don't forget! April is sexual assault awareness month. There will be mandatory trainings to attend. Make sure you go to one, and don't get caught with your pants down!

I drew a calendar in my recruit handbook so I could tick off the days like a prison sentence. Should have made it for 6 years instead of 6 weeks!

Holy poo poo, I actually got navy e-learning to work on my personal laptop. Time to completely gently caress off while "doing" these nko courses.

Sorry for the E/N mash of poo poo in this post, but I am just at a loss of what to do. My chief has tried to help him too, and we've talked about him at length, and neither of us know how to handle this kid, beyond referring him to mental health and making sure he goes to appointments.

Haze him until he kills himself. But seriously, the kid sounds crazy and probably just needs to go to mast.

I passed my IDW murder board today. So now I'm going to get that stupid pin and be super moto helpful knowledgeable sailor. Just kidding, I'm going back to nights and becoming a loving ghost!

Do they give the same sappr training everywhere? Ours had a mascot, Blocky, the sexual assault prevention blocktopus. He has consentacles. I'm not making this poo poo up.

Oh wow, it looks like they already got to the internet:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=blocktopus

quote:

1.

blocktopus
a good friend that protects his or her friends from getting into regrettable or dangerous sexual situations
(term comes from using all those arms, or the available means, to block the bad business)

IMPORTANT: This friend is NOT a cock block. The blocktopus only steps in if his/her friends' comfort or safety is at risk.
Example 1)

That guy at the party last night was getting really creepy with Laura, so I had to be a blocktopus and get rid of him.

Example 2)

Dude 1: "Hey, man, what ever happened with that girl from the club?"
Dude 2: "Nothing. I couldn't tell she wasn't into me, so I'm glad my blocktopus was there, otherwise things could have gotten sketch."p.

I would totally suffer ship life for 2 weeks to show my dad a tiger cruise. I care about him way more than any fuckheads in the Navy, and he would think it's awesome.

Guys, I passed my IDW board the last day possible before they throw the books out for new ones. I'm highly trained in irrelevant knowledge!

If i ever became a chief I would be the biggest rear end in a top hat. I would gather up all the smokers after work and have them police the parking lot cigarette butts. Non smokers would get to go home early. That's why i'm never going to be a chief.

Hey, what's better than an air force officer? And air force officer that brings you tappist ale because they appreciate the work you do. Holy poo poo I joined the wrong branch.

I'm glad I don't give a gently caress about making E-6. Sure the pay would be nice, but it'd be way easier to get out in a few years if I'm still just E-5.

The fat test should just be "can you fit through a hatch without touching the sides." I'm not convinced any actual medical professionals were involved when the Navy decided someone wasn't considered fat because their neck is fat.

# ¿ Apr 28, 2014 03:20

Sir Lucius: Aug 3, 2003

Right, a fat neck means you're not fat by Navy standards. How does that work?

I hope that didn't stop the school houses from having dress white inspections. I'll bet it was like a gross wet t-shirt contest.
