Yeah, the MDMA is supposed to make sure the crew doesn't get to rowdy during meal times and ensure that the CSs and cranks are doing what they're supposed to do to take care of crew. In theory anyway. Most of the time it's filled by a worthless sack of poo poo so they just stand around watching TV. A good one is awesome though because they make the crew's life a little easier by making sure the simple stuff gets taken care of like the vending machines are filled and there is clean silverware available.

Yeah I used to laugh when chiefs would say that guys "loved" cranking in the Chief's Mess because they "tipped" down there. Especially when those same cranks would tell me how much they hated it. The guys up in the wardroom were on easy street. Mostly we just BSed with them about football, movies, and beautiful women all day and left them alone. Despite what everyone says about nobles, most of really do understand how bad it sucks to be a junior enlisted sailor. Especially one sent to crank.

In other news, I just got back from an Irish Catholic wedding with an open bar and I am drunk posting like a mother fucker. I think that's still cool in the lounge threads.

The good news for you proles is that I didn't drink and drive. A shuttle bus was set up between the reception and the hotel. Use alcohol responsibly ladies and gentlemen. If for no other reason then I don't want to potentially have to do the paperwork for you because I am lazy.

Stultus Maximus posted:If you ever go to a Catholic wedding without an open bar, tell the assholes to just go Methodist or something already. As a Methodist I can confirm that most of our weddings are lame. I was told afterwards that mine was pretty kickin. The fact that one of my buddies woke up half naked, and up to his nipples in the St Johns River the next day gives me empirical evidence that it was.

Also, I have zero sympathy for Aviators crying about O4 promotions considering having a metric fuckload of non upwardly mobile aviator LCDRs clogging up the URL community's totals is what hosed up the last 3 or so years of promotions leading to a drop in promotion rates and zone tinkering that pushed my O4 look about 2 years to the right compared to my RL year group peers.

vulturesrow posted:Those non-upwardly mobile O4s (and to a lesser extent O-5s) are the ones covering the Surface Warfare community's rear end in filling billets that they can't cover because they ran off their entire office corps. I'm not arguing about the state of the SWO community at all. Just enjoying some delicious schadenfreude at the expense of the aviation community.
