Gunktacular posted:I really wanted to see this happen at least once, sadly I've never heard of it really happening. (Rumors maybe, but not a verifiable account.) I personally witnessed it happening on my first ship while we were underway in the middle of 5th Fleet. A dirtbag of a YN3 was up for reenlistment. He asked the XO to be his reenlisting officer, despite a well known personal hatred of the XO, had the CS's prepare a big, fancy re-enlistment cake, the whole works. We were all down on the messdecks to watch the re-enlistment, go through the whole setup and spiel. Kid gets discharged, and makes a short speech about how he never thought he'd re-enlist, he had all these plans for his future, etc. And then ends it all up with "So you know what? I'm not gonna do it." The XO just sat there, dumbfounded, and asked him if he was serious. Kid answered in the affirmative, and you can see the XO's face twist up with rage. He grabs the uncut cake, storms out, and somehow manages to swing a Desert Chicken around to the ship within the hour, despite having no flight ops scheduled that day, and the kid is never seen on the ship again. We had lots of cake for dessert at dinner in the wardroom that night.

Hey guys I just found out today that the Navy is gonna make me be an astronaut or some poo poo. I mean, my first choice was to go be a nuke and kill myself but it's alright, I guess.

LingcodKilla posted:Honest question. Why are their drug counselors if it's a zero tolerance Navy? Do they only help with legal drug misuse? 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.
