Mr. Nice! posted:Before I got into the meat of the story because of the paywall, all I could see was discussion about the captain being holed up for the better half of deployment. That happened on my last deployment as well, but for slightly different reasons. The whole time, though, ISIC was fully aware. Dude was just plain sick. He would still come to all nav details and meetings. He might be in PT gear and go back down after he was sure the XO/Ops had it, but he never missed anything. The XO was taking over command in a couple of months anyways, so it worked out fine. He actually chaired my OOD board because the skipper was ill. He didn't have any officers making his bed or cooking him meals, though. Like you said, different reasons and all, but I just can't imagine a ship doing UNREPs with the CO in his rack and no XO on the bridge. That isn't a shot at the JOs on the ship since they managed to get it done without crashing or killing people, but if he is so incapacitated that he can't even make it to the bridge for that he should have told the ISIC. There is some other stuff that my coworkers saw when they went to the ship for an FTA that sounded at the time hard to believe, but now it makes sense.

TrialbyStone posted:I plan on stopping my TSP deduction as well, because I fail to find a point in keeping it going if i'll be separating within 2 years time anyhow. Don't do that. You don't know what's going to happen in two years and there is a good chance you'll reenlist even though you're saying no way to that idea right now. If you EAOS, you will have to stop contributions at that point unless you go USCS, but until then you really should take advantage of what the TSP offers you in terms of your future retirement. If you aren't making maximum contributions to it and contributing to some kind of IRA as well, you are doing it wrong.

To quote a civilian friend that has no clue about the military "Sounds like those guys (the wardroom) tried to make the best of poo poo sandwich. And succeeded." Also " Destiny Savage is a stripper name." Not sure which is a better quote.
