Why in the gently caress does the hospital not enforce rules? I spent 2 miserable hours at the hospital for an uncomfortable and stressful procedure and while I waited the 50 minutes past my appointment time I was stuck in the waiting room with LOTS of kids. In a clinic where it says "please do not bring children" on the walls. And their fat moms were all oblivious and pregnant. drat, goons, teach your dependa some courtesy.

Dependent health care should have a deductible. Except for sterilizations. Those should have a cash incentive.

genderstomper58 posted:what about that stupid decision making process the navy had There was one they bought into before I enlisted. It was TQL or Total Quality Leadership which I believe was Total Quality Management (TQM) in the civilian world. My Command (500+ personnel) had a dedicated TQL office and a Senior Chief as Command TQL Coordinator. When I made Second Class, I had to attend their apprentice/journeyman TQL class. Shortly after that, they scrapped the whole program Navy-wide.

LPOs with the situation awareness to realize their orders directly conflict with command-level POTW directives BEFORE severely counseling you?? We had to scrap it, shipmate, we need to stick to Naval Tradition.

There is the current OODA loop, which is a USMC generated cycle. There is also a staff decision process of 6 steps which is essentially the same as the targeting cycle, don't recall the name because I'm drunk. Navy tradition (and world cup soccer).

OODA is very much Air Force, you know drat well the Marines would've found a backronym for OORA instead Also Six Sigma and TQM actually kick rear end in the civvy world in the rare cases they're implemented properly, while mil implementations have essentially nothing to do with the concepts beyond the names. If somehow you can scam a SS green or black belt out of your command, though, they do look good on a resume.

I was waiting for a prescription for strep throat the other day (loving awesome...who gets strep throat in July?) and saw the no-poo poo Navy Stereotype. Giant, like 5'11" fat-gently caress dependa with screaming brat and a scrawney, like 5'6" coke-bottle-glasses-wearing 3rd class. He was so small and she was so big you would have thought she was HIS loving mom too. Nope, he was the sponsor. "What did you need again" he said, right before ambling back up to the prescription window. "Ahhh sayddd valeeeummm". Jesus, of course you need valium.

Its a legitimate condition, but like Celiac - every freaking dependa thinks they have it. Yesterday's crazy discussion on the FB boards was centered around "Parents with Toddlers" parking and how one pissed woman left a nasty note on a car with no carseat and called security. These bitches will CHECK FOR A CARSEAT. I swear these women think security is there to cater to their whims. It got downright ugly when I said "Your job is not to enforce the rules, only to follow them." Shitstorm.

Not for valium, no. Well maybe but they want the good stuff. They're getting high as gently caress because wouldn't you know they're allergic to all NSAIDS and every other pain relief drug that doesn't give you a buzz. Something about free healthcare just opens up the flood gates. Most docs would rather not argue it and just fill their prescriptions and send them on their way. I'm not sure if I'd say its "legitimate" it's hey this person complains of pain and we did all these tests and still aren't sure what it is so here's a name for it. Maybe my idea of it is thrown off a bit because every person I've seen with it was a 300 lb middle aged dependa married to some poor e-5 with 6 kids and pages of medication allergies and medical conditions they carry around with them to present when needed Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Jun 27, 2014 |

Yeah, not a Corpsman so I don't have to see abuse. The only person I know with Fibro is a 32 year old medically retired Chief who would have loved to stay in but no ship would take her. She ran Boston the year before she was diagnosed. They're looking at MS now, but until they find what the real problem is - Fibro.

It's a vicious cycle. Dudes want BAH or extra deployment cash and they want healthcare for all their issues and 4 kids all from different dudes. Sometimes you see the sadness deep in their eyes that maybe he did marry a solid 7/10 but she gained 100 lbs over deployment and turned into a baby mill. It's even worse with Marines they need e-6 to get BAH. Out of the 800-1,000 or so people where I work I think there's 2-3 single e-5s? One of them recently divorced. Command functions are entertaining if only to laugh at all the fat crazy wives. One of my Navy co-workers married a 49 year old just last week. He's 24 I believe. As far as stories I got the usual obese dependa coming into medical because her husband Is complaining about her smelly taint multiple times during sex and you know where this story goes. Weeks old tampon. Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 04:28 on Jun 28, 2014 |

One came up and asked if herpes was transmittable to her face from dirty stuff at the food court with her husband. Ever since they closed the ICC at this hospital you get a lot of interesting cases asking random poo poo at the information desk. They think a corpsman is able to diagnose everything and get pissy when I say I'm actually going to call the nurse on duty.

I know a guy that came back from deployment to discover that his wife had 1) cleaned out his bank account 1a) bought a car in his name 1b) bought a house in his name 2) was living there with another guy 3) wanted divorce He lost his clearance, got transferred to work in deck department, then was unsuccessful in suicide. I guess it's kind of a sad story. Visualize the least assertive person you've ever met. Imagine a rather buff woman that looks miles out of his league. Naturally, the wife was cheating on him. To win everything he owned, she told the command he beat her when he found out. He moved into the barracks, got into legal trouble, etc. However, shortly after that, she got pregnant from her trainer at the gym. Babby daddy said he didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. She then offered to drop charges and asked him to accept her back. He did. He managed to convince himself that the baby is his despite not having sex with her for 2 years prior.

"I've been listening to you married fuckers tell enough horror stories for 5 years and bitch about your wives so much that it has sterilized me of the idea of getting married". Absolutely true. There's also something to be said about buying a brand new home before 30 and having money in the bank. Home many married folks (even dual-income) my age can say that? Very few. gently caress 'em. buttplug fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jun 28, 2014 |

I keep hearing about unhappy marriages ITT, but let's not forget those of us who have married our best friends.  The wife and I are incredibly happy together, and we make one another happy. She works hard at her E.E. job, and I work hardly at all at 9502'ing up et "a." 3 years and counting. The dependapotamus is not the normal relationship in the navy, from my experiences.
