Is any one here currently serving on a frigate? How's the decomming coming along? USS last ship is getting decommed by jan 2015, and getting sent over to the republic of china. Really interested in finding out about the transition process out of curiousity and there is zero talk about it on other, shittier forums.

ManMythLegend posted:I decommed one a few months ago. What do you want to know? What mysteries were found in the spaces during decom? I remember insurv cleanings and finding 19 year old bags of potato ships in the overheads. I like these stories. What are they doing with the old OJ consoles? Did you let some DDG kids steal your crap? How is it going? I'm going to be sad when the frigates are gone. I liked the culture, enjoyed the 24 port visits every deployment, etc.

I love seeing these kinds of douchebags.  Top hit on the /r/navy. Kids these days with their airsoft gun teams.

Mad Dragon posted:Is that an army hat, or did the navy manage to gently caress up dress whites even worse? it's a stolen valor post. he's wearing the army beret, an army air team shirt, the ITbadge, and a actually pretty decent neckerchef. he looks 15, in my opinion.

Pandasmores posted:Pffffhahahahahahahahaha oh my loving god this is hilarious. Wonder why he didn't give himself ribbons or warfare devices with significance to whatever bravery he faces on the fields of battle. His kneckerchief looks better than most people's I've seen. Wonder what command is on that tab though. he must have grabbed whatever he could out of the surplus store's clearance bin and slapped it on. "I'm a Navy Now!" Apparently his Instagram (before it was deleted) was an imagination land tale of him serving in four theaters of war and having earned every army combat badge and navy warfare pin under the sun.

Christoff posted:Ok does anyone know the details about this? Literally no one I've asked loving knows and even the people at TRS were clueless I know a little bit about it. First things first, log into ebenefits.va.gov. Once you're there, submit VA Form 10-10EZ, Application for Health Benefits, and submit it either through eBenefits or send it on its way to a VA facility. You have five years to enroll after your enlistment, but there is no reason to wait. You earned the benefits. Each VA facility has a OIF/OEF/OND care team specifically there to help you out. I believe you can talk to someone at the VA for amplifying information. If you have a VA compensatable problem, you can get qualified for overall free services depending on your current income level; it's not free-free though, and the copays are $15-30 dollars depending on the type of care. If your income exceeds their threshold for care, expect to pay 20% for your care. GET ON THE GULF WAR REGISTRY SO THEY CANNOT gently caress YOU. E: REGISTER FOR DENTAL CARE Check your eligibility via https://www.va.gov/dental/infoforpts.asp Download the factsheet: Factsheet IB 10-442, Dental Benefits for Veterans Take your DD Form 214. I hope to loving Christ In All His Powers that you did not check "Yes," to the box that asks if you received a dental exam within 90 days before leaving service of they're going to laugh at you and say "haha nothing service related get out." You can apply for dental benefits within 180 days if you selected NO. If you said YES, they're going to shrug their shoulders and ignore you. If you suffered from "DENTAL TRAUMA" while on active duty status, you are eligible for lifelong dental care beyond that initial 180 days. If you did not, you can still sign up for the VA Dental Insurance Program (VADIP). It's a fixed monthly premium and your family covered by CHAMPVA are also covered.

I forgot to mention that the VA's definition of dental trauma means something along the lines of, "yeah I took a big pile of hot shrapnel to my face," not "my buddy hit me while we were drunk and I had a bruised tendon that led to TMJ disorder." don't forget to check out the super useful stickied thread for vet benefits.

Norfolk: "We have NINE GATES" But one road leads to all of them. When it takes a sailor 1.5 hours to drive 7 miles from downtown Norfolk to the pier, your base has a hosed up road network.
