DESRON commodores are just captains not admirals. And there really isn't a whole lot for them to do unless they're deployed.

Snowdens Secret posted:Still more an argument that the billet shouldn't exist, than that it's money well spent paying that guy to terrorize fats Well, the DESRON out in Hawaii has basically half of it's job done by a one star across the street. Commodores at other DESRONs tend to have more to do. What needs to happen is merge all the Hawaii surface ships into a single CRUDESRON that falls under the one star. This won't change much at all at the one star level and would get rid of a lot of redundancies.

DustyNuts posted:To do a BCA measurement on someone they have to wear the PTU. If it's tied to urinalysis, they're going to have to change into the PTU after they pee. Since it's random, they're going to have to go home to get their PTU. I guess everyone is going to have to have a PTU at work, with shoes, ready to go at all times every single day. What do you mean go home? You should have a full seabag onboard at all times, shipmate. We'll have your seabag inspection after lunch.

Ronnie Coleman has a 36" waist. A natural body builder I used to work with had a 34" waist and he was 6'4". A 40" waist is loving massive.

Additionally it does allow you to affirm or swear In the official USC. All of the other branches have the option for modification and I bet there's a DOD memo somewhere that says to do it.

WhiteHalo117 posted:Tbh I hope they don't phase out CGs, it'll remove a lot of C2 aspects from the fleet. Congress expects DDGs to fill that gap permanently they're nuts. Yeah there just isn't room to store all those extra officers. I mean, realistically, there isn't anything an old CG can do that a flight IIa or newer can't do. I do think both DDGs and CGs have pretty much outgrown their original designs. I think that a true hull up approach on a new ship to fill the consolidated role of the three small boys of old would be the best way to go. After the  fest that is the LCS program, though, I don't think that has even a remote chance of occurring.

If you didn't show up to one of the functions you were expected to, you'd get a one on one sit down with the captain the next day typically. If you make an rear end of yourself at one, just a chat with the XO. If you were there for five minutes and bounced out, you'd get a bit of poo poo in the wardroom the next day but ultimately nothing else. If I had enough of a scowl on my face people just ignored me and I could slip out easy, but skipping any dinner events in the admirals backyard was definitely not an option. Heaven forbid if you weren't in loving crisp aloha as well. I miss driving ships. I don't miss that type of bullshit.

If the XO was truly innocent, then they probably would have just accelerated his taking command. There was something that implicated him as well that we're just not seeing.
