Let's keep the Navy thread bumped up this month. I want to see 30 pages of bitter vet posts. After surgery work demands I come in and sit here in the staff lounge as they process my convalescent leave. How many codine pills will it take to make me forget I'm in the Navy?

From the No poo poo, & Salt Water Tastes Salty Department, the Navy survey I linked maybe three months ago has its results back, and its all comically bad: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/sep/30/us-navy-sailors-harbor-widespread-distrust-of-seni/

It's almost like they're so embarrassed at their own terribleness that they just want to plug their ears with dicks and pretend that the ship isn't sinking.

Pandasmores posted:So the directorate (division for those of you on ships?) LPO just dropped off my PTS/C-Way application. Apart from the DLPO freaking out and trying to incite a panic attack into me through "WELL HOW ARE YOU GOING TO PAY FOR THINGS IF THE NAVY DOESN'T COVER IT ANY MORE HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF THAT?!?!?", there's a bit of the paperwork that kind of confuses me. I believe you would be required to fulfill your contract, so tack on that extra year and hold on to the handlebars until 2016.

The X-47B is an amazing drone, and watching this video of well-edited X-47B flight ops gave me a patriot boner. http://vimeo.com/105478034

Hey guys. I found this cool new hip website for us active duty and vet folk. It's called the buying up your fellow veterans forclosed misery site! http://listings.vrmco.com/ Seriously, get a house from foreclosed properties that the VA is selling. I think I'm going to move to the south side of chicago into my $6,500 dream home.

Also, this guy: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/oct/14/google-glass-user-treated-addiction-withdrawal-symptoms US Navy servicemember gets addicted to using Google Glass, and thus kickstarting some academic's career writing about his poor apparel electronics addiction. quote:He said he was “going through withdrawal from his Google Glass”, Doan explained, adding: “He said the Google Glass withdrawal was greater than the alcohol withdrawal he was experiencing.” How would you deal with this sort of SARP case? Firstly, he is an alcoholic. Then he comes up with yet another excuse to be at SARP: he can't live without his Google Thing! A Bad King fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Oct 15, 2014 |

Octopode posted:If you're determined to be addicted or dependent, you still receive treatment and care on the Navy's dime, even if you're kicked out afterwards. this reminds me of the guy on USS Last Ship who popped on a command-wide urinalysis after a port visit to amsterdam. he got off the boat and sought months of treatment. i'm not sure if it helped Zamboni Apocalypse posted:So, Bidencare then.

Kawasaki Nun posted:Bonus! You ask anyone about it yet? This is just an extension to my current contract. Medboard proceedings. It was kind of worrying how they require you to wait until the day before your EAOS to apply the extension. I couldn't apply for TA, request additional leave, or update my ID card until they typed in "120" into a webform and clicked a ENTER button. Couldn't they have automated the process? Why is it a "day before" process?

orange juche posted:lol the Navy is hosed I hate that excuse. I wish that we had a processes review system that actually functioned to improve core business practices. The GS10 who's job it was to click the button on the webform authorizing my extension spent 24 minutes trying to find the right webform, and he had zero confidence in what he was doing the entire time.
