poo poo was never that bad for us but our curfew in Singapore was about 11 and you had to factor in getting back to the remote base, the bus ride, a checkpoint, then another bus ride.


My favorite deployment story is a mob of people sprinting down the streets on base in Singapore in heels and everything else to make it to base on time because the bus line was way too long

Our berthing was 90+ degrees at all times. It was mostly Marines so of course Navy didn't give a poo poo. Meanwhile the SNCO berthing and every other was like 50 degrees

Totally brah. Everyone's built the same.

You're a dumbshit. I guess everyone should be super built in Navy land though so when we sit at our consoles (real navy work) our guts don't spillover onto the VABs.

I personally don't give a poo poo about it because I'll pass every time, but if you don't think the system is a loving joke on par with our eval system then you're probably an idiot (corpsmen).

EDIT: I want to reiterate that I'm totally fine with actual fat shitheads getting put on FEP, what I'm not okay with is the garbage system we use to determine who a fat shitlord is. There are guys that weigh loving 120 pounds that I work with and eat McDonalds every loving day for lunch and I'm pretty sure there insides are literally falling apart, but they don't have to go on any kind of program, and that's really dumb. At least the fat shitlord might be able to get me out of a space. SN Built Like A Child won't be able to.

Now I'm all pissed and I don't even work today goddammit.

Yea a lot of that was pretty navy.txty I guess.

I mean yeah the taping and all that is a joke as well as the eval system. And sorry some people have fast metabolisms and can chow down burgers all day and not gain a pound. Thing is though even aside from the lovely diet those guys can still get an all around "good" on the PFA. I'm not saying push ups, sit ups, and running 1.5 miles is a testament to physical endurance but alas...



But I've yet to see an "ok shape" guy fail it

Yeah but those as well as rifle qual factor into their promotion system.


Don't get me wrong the CFT is a better test for, and I hate to use this word, "functional" strength but it's still pretty silly. Plus they do pull ups and not push ups for the PFA.

But how are dudes on subs or suicidal nukes who work 16 hour days 6 days a week supposed to realistic stay fit?

I get out in a month and I have like nothing but that class done. loving had me in the field up until last week.

I know they send the Marines a year in advance but the policy here for Navy folk is before the 90 day mark from your EAOS

But yeah I did the educational route and while I didn't mind it I still didn't learn any of the good info I would have liked to have known. Still find myself asking a million questions in GIP I couldn't get answered at TRS

September Navy thread attendance has been very low this month. Muster will now be taken during Navy thread quarters. Be in formation 15 minutes early, and be sure to have your sleeves rolled/unrolled, whichever is more inconvenient.
