prt for subs should be the DC trainer for flooding and jp5 fire trainer. if you dont close the leaks you fail prt or if you pass out during the holyfuckingshititsactuallyhot fire trainer you fail


edit : actually it could also be a 150 TDU weight box onload if you want to simulate ~real sub fitness requirements~

Oh, is that what it is? I totally didn't get that the first time around.

Again, re-read what I loving posted. You don't get to make jokes about the Navy - officers or otherwise - until you're actually loving in it. None of what you said went above my head, but clearly the point I was trying to convey went way over yours.

hey baby. a/s/l?

So, for a normal change of command, they usually make a big ceremony out of it (at least ashore), where the outgoing and incoming COs read their orders and give speeches and there's cake and all that. What do they do in cases like this? Do it at morning quarters? All hands email? Not say anything and suddenly there's just the deputy commodore up there driving the boat one day?

They didn't do poo poo cept for the CO saying 'bye' on the 1mc and the new CO saying 'Hi' on my boat. Also the CoB quietly left.

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.

The XO on my boat was passed over for command because of our incident. The whole thing pretty much went down on his watch because the CO was on leave.

That sucks, especially since the whole thing pretty much falls on the person's coworkers looking for signs and stuff, and even then you can't quite tell if someone's going to kill themselves just by affect alone. Some people keep that poo poo secret, especially when they don't want to be seen as some whiney broke dick just trying to get out of work. CO/XO/CoB probably don't even know the dude(s). I'd imagine if there's places to hide and gently caress there's most certainly places to kill yourself, and hell you have all of the ocean to jump into.

Funny reading this article now. They try to paint it like ~maybe someone else shot him~ when the only people awake was him and the belowdecks watch who found him shortly after he shot himself around 1am. Every single person who stands topside watch handles the gun during watch turnover so at least 1/4 of the crews prints would be on it. Everyone was on the boat because of a forced fastcruise to "force the people who tacked on his fish to come forward".

Dude showed no signs of wanting to kill himself other than his logbook entries got very shaky and hosed up just before he shot himself. The belowdecks who found him was an awesome dude and him finding Cookie like that really hosed him up.

Also every news article I've seen on this misspells the guys name. There was 2 Obriens on the boat. His was Obrien, the guy named O'brien was a forward nuke drop ET.
