Dear active duty faggots, Please take care of the monthly thread so I don't have to anymore. Also continue bitching about the prt so I can feel good about not having to deal with it. Edit: gently caress

You aren't wrong. Edit: I should add that I'm still a good 100lbs and a blown out knee away from needing a rascal scooter.

Mr. Nice! posted:SK and SH don't usually stand any watches at sea except in low visibility, drills, or special evolutions on small boys. They just run the store, laundry, and supply. Every one of those fuckers goes to bed at night. Also, the biggest perks are office hours and holiday routine. Motherfuckers only worked like 3 hours a day at sea, and you had to suck SUPPO's loving rear end in a top hat to get parts 1 minute after closing or on a Sunday. Also they always got the hookup from the other dudes on supply. Always got the fresh cigarettes, always got the cold monsters, always had their names on the haircut list first, always the first to eat at meals, and usually got to clean out midrats before the line opened. It would be the perfect seagoing job if it weren't for the advancement, also supply corps officers seemed extra douchy.

LingcodKilla posted:Kinda feels like you tell everyone that no matter the rating. That's cuz every job is pretty lovely, mostly due to the fact you are in the Navy and dealing with inept leadership. All jobs are pretty poo poo, just some are more poo poo than others, and some offer more opportunities when you get out.

PneumonicBook posted:I don't know, I've always enjoyed the actual NEC part of my job, whether that be display, acnt, or teaching. Really it's all of the extraneous garbage that makes it such poo poo. Yeah, but how much time on the ship did you actually spend doing your job vs cleaning or doing something "cuz  "fake edit: I guess I enjoyed being a tech when I was allowed to do something not involving the skids and when the old man wasn't popping in to our shops randomly to make sure the radar was still turning.

PneumonicBook posted:A good piece of advice for anyone in a position to write awards (so I guess at the minimum the WCS level) is to constantly write them. In my workcenter I left with three NAMs, my replacement left with three NAMs, and two others had two. I'd like to think me constantly routing NAMS up every month had something to do with that. Ya, that's why I like my job now, I get to do what I was trained to do, with minimal interference. My direct supervisor does a fantastic job of catching the B.S. and he really only bugs us for stuff if he really needs something from us. At this point, it's almost enjoyable to get pulled away from my normal job to do bullshit.

Howard Phillips posted:Someone tell me how sweet it is to get out and go to school on post 9/11 gi bill and yellow ribbon. Plus bitches and all that jazz. Just need some words of encouragement to keep pushing to my minimum service obligation. Not being in the Navy is pretty sweet, I would highly recommend separating. Best decision I ever made.

Wingnut Ninja posted:Midrats: great meal, or greatest meal? It's honestly the one thing about the boat that I miss. I'm making french toast and eggs for dinner to cope with withdrawal. You are nuts, midrats was stale bread and peanut butter half the time.

Sir Lucius posted:Luckily you can also take breaks in semesters without being penalized, right? So if I can't get all the classes I need to go full time I can just not take classes that semester without burning through any GI bill time. Yes, it's really easy, if you are just going to take one or two classes, or not take any classes, all you have to do is have your GI bill person stop your benefits for the term. If they are good it shouldn't be a problem.

Sir Lucius posted:The Army is loving crazy about PT. I somehow made it through Corry with only 2 weeks of PT. The military leadership stopped giving a gently caress and knew they wouldn't have to administer our next PT test. If you don't hate your job then take the 70k. If you hate yourself and wake up wanting to punch babies and little old ladies then get out. Either option is what you make of it. If you aren't a complete idiot and know how to wear a suit and tie, you can probably get a job in your field, or hack your way through college, but if your grand plan is to move home and save up money for "lawyer school" or some other bs, then stay in, you will be better off.

I'm impressed that dude was able to get 5k out of Uncle Sam. I came up with a modification for a part on our cooling skids to make it more functional, and I got a verbal thanks from the engineers in PHD, and that's it. I think my command might have let me use it on an eval, but that's about all the use it got me. The fuckers wouldn't even let us test my design

Under baked sweet potato fries. We didn't have a deep fryer, so I'm not sure how that one got the ok, they were like super salty mush strips, they were so hosed.
