I didn't take terminal because I was starting classes a month after EAOS so it wasn't like I had a job lined up that was paying more. Might as well get full pay and allowances until the last day and then get a bonus check for a month's base pay.

~70% of a month's base pay you mean


anyway everyone is different but unless you were a chief or a dirtbag that no one expected anything out of most people don't want to work up until their very last day

I've never heard 'shooters' refer to anything but a dive bar

I could see 'the SWO community' calling attention on deck if a captain walked into a joint like that

I meant in the sense that I could determine what was meant by shooters, not that it's some unofficial way that swos refer to cruisers/destroyers

It'll be a sailor, cmon

the only reason I said it might not be is because I'm not sure how popular they are amongst the other branches

This is true. Also ETMS was one of the few schools where the staff would throw a shitfit if the boat was still making you stand duty (which they all did.)

When I was a nub my chief (who was the boat's schools CPO or whatever at the time) threw me and another RC-div nub into the fiber optics repair course, even though I'm pretty sure our boat didn't have a single fiber. It was pretty funny to be two ET3s and be blazing through all the labs and watching the comm ETCS's flop and twitch and demonstrate stunning ignorance of basic troubleshooting guidelines or procedural compliance.

a senior chief incompetent???? :monocle:

We were sitting in Dahlgren for a dumb c-school graduation and the IC3 in charge of the projector played the first 10 mins of the Forestall video for an auditorium full of parents and grandparents. Definitely one of the most WTF moments I remember from the navy.

I am going to stick by the eye test. So guys who the 'rope-and-choke- don't work for end up getting gently caress by BCA standards and not having the old out of just doing well on the PFA and no one gives a poo poo. He's basically got zero percent chance for Chief now because our CFL, who was a JO who's a ragging oval office who didn't give a poo poo about Sailors even she commissioned as an E-5, either couldn't fudge a single percentage point or probably incorrectly measured him since she got relieved of her CFL duties.

All I am saying is there is a difference between being a fat rear end and being Navy fat.
