Man cant run half a foot ball field before hes winded. Depends on command policy/what he's going for. Check in at JIT? Lost orders. Ship? Who cares.

vulturesrow posted:My brain is having trouble processing a picture of a chick under 250lbs who is either in the Navy or married to a sailor. 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.)

orange juche posted:Arent you out of the navy now? 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.

vulturesrow posted:You're a 1 percenter. Meh.  I think it's possible for everyone that doesn't make stupid life decisions based on proximity and prioritizes correctly. But if everyone in the Navy had a clue how to prioritize, we would not be all-"volunteer."

Pandasmores posted:Do nobles have some image of what an enlisted barracks looks like? Apparently some seamen left their semen filled condoms and beer cans around with a noble complaining. I'm at a loss as to why you don't find this awful. As a non-noble (albeit one who washes her coffee cup) I find the very idea of condoms "laying around" gross. Also beer cans. It's not a "noble" thing to pick up after yourself.

Nick Soapdish posted:Seriously, where was the OPSO, where was the CMC, where was some random JO chatting with a friend at CSG about the hosed up situation, where was anything? CMC got fired and went to Admiral's Mast, too. We've been friends for years and all of his FB buddies are all "Oh man, you got the shaft, homie, prayers!" Meanwhile we're all like "Welp, turns out you hosed up and are lucky you get to retire as a E-9. You had one job, Bro." OMG that picture. HOW DID SOMEONE LET HER GET HER PICTURE TAKEN WITH HER HAIR hosed UP.

You forgot the part where his Filipina 3rd wife beats the poo poo out of him in Navy housing, landing him on the blotter repeatedly and then he thanks her for saving him from himself at his SCPO pinning.

Zotix posted:Okay so at this point it seems like he doesn't want to take me down, so i need to at least convince him to take me down there. What are some other rates that aren't complete poo poo so i can at least show him I've done some research, enough that he'll at least take me down to meps Talk to his Chief. Him "not taking you" is BS. Most of the CT rates are cool, IMO, but it's all about what YOU want to do. If I had it to do all over again I'd be an AG or a CTI. *shrug*

All of the hot foreign (British, Austrian, Australian) girls I know married to sailors met their husbands in Bahrain. So there's that. I'm in Japan now, and as far as personal growth goes there's not a lot to be had. More than Stateside, but only slightly. MUS has a crazy optempo (because C7F) but there's some cool folk on board. Everything is what you make it, but for my money I'd pick MCM every time. Also, minemen are super cool. One of my favorite rates to work with. Tight community, cool dudes (and I understand there's Chicks now, too.) Today it was 35 degrees Celsius and I was topside on a DDG all day. I was sweating my butt off and it's also 90% humidity. If you want to avoid heat, C7F is not the place to do it. Plus, it's crippling here when it snows. Like, everything stops. So heat + cold+ High optempo. All that said, I love ramen and okonomiyaki, so yay Japan, because we have the best food. But I'm on shore duty and can enjoy it.

nacirema posted: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? The Navy is LITERALLY paying you to go to school. The least you could do is stay awake. You're an idiot.

KetTarma posted:Half up front, the rest you get evenly distributed once per year for the remainder of time on your contract that you're reenlisting for. I believed it's paid on your Navyversery day. It's paid in October. Like, the 4th. For Fiscal Year reasons, I'd bet.

DownByTheWooter posted:so, I shenaniganed my way into the retiree TGPS. It's a little depressing how lost and rudderless most of these senior enlisted will be out of the military There's a retiree one? FFSC told me there is only one kind now (I am soon to be a lost and rudderless retiree.)(Nope, just kidding. I'll be awesome.) poopkitty fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Aug 26, 2014 |

PneumonicBook posted:Here's the thing though: to make senior you need a degree Um, no you don't. Maybe in the CG, but not in the Navy. I know quite a few without degrees. MCs too. Those guys are just really good at their jobs and care about their people, and didn't spend all of their time loving off and paying attention to collaterals and working on a poo poo "Business Management" degree. Unfortunately those folks are leaving because the Navy is turning into an entitled loser promotion factory. Thank you CSADD and Phoenix.

krispykremessuck posted:No, when the Navy tried to do that the CG strangely ran away from it really fast. First time they didn't just try to steal the idea and make it worse, I think. Maybe the CG is CWO then? When I was looking at the LDO/CWO program a Mentor of mine was all "but you need a degree!" and I was like, no? So maybe that's where I was confused. Either way, maybe I should have gone in the CG but whatever, 20 months to freedom.
