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 think the real core competency of the United States Navy, when compared to the other branches of service is our ability to find and negotiate terms of service with east asian prostitutes, female or transexual. I don't think any other branch really comes close to our collective knowledge regarding the habits, price structures and services on offer of Filipina bargirls and Thai ladyboys

Other branches of service, yes, but I think fat British expats have us beat on this one.

If the Navy was actually serious about prostitution then ships wouldn't go anywhere near SE Asia, much less loving Pattaya, Thailand.

Until that happens it's all lip service for the general public.

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.

I start school in two weeks and between Miami BAH and WA unemployment (which veterans stationed there qualify for regardless of where they move) I'll be pulling in like $4K/month. Still waiting on my VA disability rating, but it should be >20% which means I'll have enough benefits time to get a master's degree through voc rehab. Once I do my loss of income appeal I'll qualify for 100% pell grant. Basically, I'll be getting paid more to go to school than I was while active duty.

I think if you go to Bahrain you'll make tax-free money and get HDP the entire time.

e: What are the other 28 choices like?

Curious. I'll be doing my A school in Pensacola. Are their short time (6 month) car rentals like that charge something reasonable? I'd expect no due to it being a navy town but I'm curious.

If you don't own a car, just buy one whenever you get your partial restoration of basic human rights card from the barracks. Find a reputable dealership in Not Pensacola and get a ride there.

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?

Define "recommend". Did you sign anything?

It was at the end of the day during our talk that he brought it up and said he will do it. I did not sign anything today. I think he meant page 13 instead of article.

If you graduate in ten days then a page 13 is basically toilet paper. I can't offer real advice, though.

Fuckin' NAS Fallon man. Dry as gently caress. Cold. Desert. 24 on, 24 off schedule.

Airwings come and just gently caress the place up for a month at a time. They've only got one goddamned FAX machine for the whole place. Phantom Shitter in the Chapel. $800 per diem/month due to the galley having shitfuck hours, so a permissive rate is authorized. It's all spent on booze.

Chasing man-sized tumbleweeds across the flight line and FOD walkdowns almost hourly because of it.
Goddamned birdstrike threat everywhere.

FCPOA corruption and monopolization of duty vehicles run rampant. High altitude lowers blood pressure. Passed out while shaving and hit hard against the barracks' wall. Got yelled at for being late for work. Had to have an MRI.

But they had a VirtuaON Arcade Machine at Mean Gene's. That's pretty cool.
