Why would we take care of the thread when we have civilian contractors to do it for us?

I am neither. And both. Also, I married my C School sweetheart. (My A School sweetheart went to BUDs and forgot my number; probably just as well - he was boring as poo poo. But hot. He retired last year as a SOCM.)

poopkitty posted:

Nope. I work at a mostly civilian command, though (one of those places fat Chiefs go to retire and keep working for the Navy.) My husband is also still in, although he'll be retired in 241 days or so. I have 666 days left. As of today.

I just like turning valves and deployment is not that bad. we are on 3-12 watch rotation and it owns.

Probably left in the trashcan. If there's one thing the navy hates more than anything else it's leaving trash in a trashcan.

He'll do great. After a tumultuous series of breakups and getting back together during DEP, he will ship to boot after confessing his eternal love for her.

She will bang his best friend the next week, the second best the week after. Somewhere after the third week a dear John letter will arrive and he will try to drink the cleaner that can't kill you.

The psych hold unit will clear him once he stops trying to off himself. She will come to the graduation and promise to never do it again.

They will get back together. She will put those "my boyfriend is a sailor" stickers on her poo poo car. They will turn into "I love my sailor husband" and "spouse is the hardest job in the navy" after the a school marriage for bah money.

The baby is born shortly after, she balloons up to 500lbs and he bangs some e2 fresh from boot.

Divorce 1 occurs.

18 years and 2 more divorces with 8-12 legitimate and illegitimate kids later he Is the MCPON. He looks back on the shambles that were supposed to be the prime of his life, takes a swig of military special whiskey, puts on his best fake smile, and addresses a crowd of sailors graduating boot camp.

This is easily the first time in 4 years working in Main Propulsion that i've gotten more then a scratch; I'd say I have a fair idea of what, and what not should be touched as far as machinery goes.

For the record, C school has 4 engines that we students are about to work on; 2 generators, and 2 main engines. I was merely demonstrating the amount of force in a main engine verse the generator, and got pinched. It's machinery, metal, electricity, and all sorts of fun things that could potentially hurt *anyone*, but today I was that guy.

Luckily I ended up with nothing more then a deep cut; lesson learned, let's carry on.

My last underway they basically stuck me doing 48 maintenance at 3AM which otherwise consisted of me playing FIFA in Aft RAM for the rest of the night. Occasionally I would have to do an OCSOT.

It was the best underway.

And then I took terminal.

What's wrong with C7F? Keep in mind I've literally been in school since RTC.


Mustin was awarded Battle "E" five times from the Wikipedia page, so it looks like either smooth sailing or someone with a fetish for being sat (lots of rules). Then again I don't really know.

I do know that it shouldn't matter what flight of DDG I end up on as an ET.

Reacon posted:

C7F is a negative, then, which probably puts me on that MCM since I'd rather not be on a carrier since it's not necessarily great for advancement as a junior (I've heard). I love the Washington coastline and the cities on it, and plan on buying a car immediately, but that can wait a few years I suppose.

It all comes down to either putting myself out there or hiding in a corner in two extremes. Maybe I need to be figuring out what I want to do with my life rather than where I want to go.


On the other topic: I lived 5 miles from Glacier Park secluded in the woods with my single mother, plenty of dogs and cats, and horrible internet. But yeah, it was very rarely hot, very rarely extremely cold, too. I'd love a place that stayed 20-70 year long.


Once again, thanks for the replies. This is more than I ever could have hoped for.

TrialbyStone posted:

Literally all of our GSE's on Mustin had 6 year contracts. I cannot comprehend spending 6 years on my life in C7F and still dreaming of persuading a "Rewarding and Satisfying" Naval career afterwards.

I'm still trying to figure out what it was that convinced me to reinlist for another 2 years... oh right, it was either spend 5 more months in C7F or 2 more years in San Diego. Here's hoping I made a smart move.

An instructor at HM a school recommend me for relief and separation for sleeping in class. Waving ucmj article 13, not 92 at me, I can't tell if he threatening or will actually do paperwork. I was told to wake up multiple times before. My grades are excellent. No paper was ever filed on me or got called for counseling. And I graduate in 10 days. Should I be worried, if so how can I present a case that is not about me be being a lovely sailor to Chief?

Ah the Super 8, after a few Irish Wakes that was how my daughter was born. Then again it was with my wife. And yeah after just leaving Corry, it's ridiculous. I got chewed out because I called a girl out for cheating on her husband and it made her feel uncomfortable Pretty much everywhere is a gently caress shack; chip trail, dumpsters behind captains mast, gazebo near the track and IT Barracks since theres no cameras. Corry was an MTV drama live. It was hilarious.

Yes they did, and the E-5 sitting OOD can manipulate those cameras and zoom.

Oooh buddy could I zoom in.
