Schlabbalabba posted:Well, I told my chain that I applied for a few jobs.... they flipped the gently caress out and now they're hounding me if I am reenlisting or not. They're also trying to get me to reenlist now (and not tax free) so I'm locked in for deployment. So, now, unfortunately IF I manage to get an interview, they likely won't let me take leave to go. Dicks. They just love you so much they don't want you to leave. Don't you want to make them happy?!?

Schlabbalabba posted:I'm most likely staying in, but I shouldn't receive the backlash because I am only considering moving on with my life. You get what you deserve when you reenlist. You reup this time and get hosed later its your own fault you filthy whore.

Schlabbalabba posted:Yeah, I'm aware of the consequences of staying in, but quite frankly I didn't have the time due to the heavy optempo to do school to obtain a job I want. If I wasn't married I would go be poor and happy by my drat self, but I cannot. Save money now or trade a car in or sell the house. This is your second bid right? If you don't have any equity to take a loan against to get a job while you are out then the Navy might be what you want. You won't have time to find work unless you're on shore duty but by the end of your third contract you might as well stay the course. How much terminal leave do you have saved up? Edit: lol I have no responsibilities so these all seem like good ideas for me, but living on a submarine loving sucks and while you're doing that you hardly do either Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 06:10 on Oct 3, 2014 |

buttplug posted:I got asked what the designation was for a hot LZ (landing zone) for a helo during Vietnam on my SWO board. Sub boards were alot of fun for this reason alone. Listening to coners try to reason out how different systems interconnected was, sadly, hilarious. Only got to sit one though

Pandasmores posted:So a little debate seems to be going on among the different HNs, especially the new ones coming in from other commands. For the people that have been to hospitals as commands: EPs are divvied up depending on relative CPO dick length, clout, and hummer ability. As are MPs after they become restricted due to rank. The entire eval system is dumb as poo poo. We had a poo poo-hot guy in my division not get an EP until his next eval due to CPO clout even though he was undoubtedly deserving of this. I have never been to a hospital command but I can't imagine the retarded office politics are any different from retarded ship politics.

SpaceJustice posted:This may be an anomaly, but around four people on my ship who got out around the same time as myself got SRO jobs in the civilian sector (which is quite a bit considering the sample size of a submarine). So civilian plants are still hiring nukes due to them meeting NRC requirements, it's just a matter of proper career planning to set yourself up while in and not being an incompetent poo poo head. That said, I quit the job to go back to school since I don't want to be on rotating shift work for the rest of my life. Getting hired isn't a problem but those supposed 6 figure payrolls are a navy legend unless you're qualified reactor operator/EWS (only one rate can qualify RO and EWS is a senior watch station that can be difficult to qualify at sea) with a couple years of experience, and even then you're probably gonna be brought in as a different position and have to work up to SRO. dragondir posted:Don't know if I missed an earlier post, but how bad is nuke life? I'm genuinely curious as I'm contemplating the navy. Haven't had the conversation yet, but some information you know would be appreciated. 3 suicides during my year in the training pipeline and one more on the waterfront that I heard about. I don't know how many attempts there were. My old roommate used to sleep with one of his rifles and our house had a firewatch or sorts to make sure he didn't suck it off. So its bad enough to warrant about a suicide per year of someone you probably know. Good luck have fun Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Oct 22, 2014 |

KetTarma posted:Eh, I got a legit offer for 95k/yr+10k/yr bonus at a plant starting as a maintenance supervisor based on being able to speak intelligently during the interview and having a professionally written resume. Most of the jobs I looked at that didn't require working outages were for ~75K pending qualification and whatnot but I never bothered with any headhunters or really delved too deeply into it. Didn't you qualify EWS at prototype too? Regardless dragondir my advice to you is that if you want to join the navy first determine what you want to do. I wanted to see the world, thinking that the navy was a natural choice over army/marines/airforce/coastguard. Sadly I didn't do my research relating to where I would be stationed and visiting and as a consequence ended up being stationed out of Kingsbay GA and only ever saw greece. If you're joining for training/benefits FTs seemed to get a pretty good deal as far as submarines go.

Pandasmores posted:Holy poo poo thats loving metal as gently caress. Our junior galley watch captain got a nam for making cookies and managing inventory while the nukes who worked 3x the hours doing emergent repairs got dick. Awards are presented on a major curve and are subject to all kinds of stupid politics.

NAM. lol yeah saving an infants life isn't worthy of a nam. that poo poo needs a COM. Homegirl deserves a nam for hitting all the checkpoints for safe alcohol use. poo poo isn't a bronze star or anything Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Oct 25, 2014 |
