I always swam mine. It's harder to get an outstanding, but the minimum speed needed to keep yourself from sinking will get you a good. anything faster than that is just icing.

Ah Graf.

PROTIP: When you're at a BOI begging a bunch of flags to have mercy on what's left of your career, it's generally not a good idea to blame everything on your JOs.

my experience has generally been that once an admin error happens (unless it's BAH overpayment) they almost never catch that poo poo. Especially if you're already out. Just stay super quiet about it and enjoy!

They really shouldn't have rated my problem permanent and it has me extremely paranoid that they're going to take the offer away in three months or something. :smith:

it's possible, but really the only "errors" I've ever seen caught are BAH overpayments.

check your inbox.

and here's my general philosophy:

If you try to make poo poo up to get out/get more money, you're an rear end in a top hat.
If you tell the truth and they decide to be generous...hey man, that's their problem.

(EXCEPTION: BAH overpayment...report that or you'll probably end up court-martialed for BAH fraud. You won't get convicted because your lawyer will blame it all on PSD, and the jury will agree...but it's still a pain in the nuts.)

a former co-worker on group e-mails would sign "V/R and R"

you know...because we can't risk inadvertently V/Ring someone of inferior rank.

He also made a point of using R with me because, as he often reminded me, he was 37 lineal numbers ahead of me.

This is the same fucktard who had me counseled for using the F bomb.

We even have to have a disclaimer akin to a DeviantArt copywrite at the bottom pretty much saying "promise you'll delete this if you weren't supposed to see it".

ManMythLegend, not to call bullshit on your evals system but not all commands had some dudes like you did. The people that do my ranking are patients that see how hard I work to achieve a satisfactory end product for them and thank me for it, just as I do it with all my patients. The person that gets the EP is literally the volunteering kid that no one ever sees because they're off getting bake sales and meetings together. I imagine they sit down and think "who is doing the best work" and keep that person in mind for an end of tour award like a NAM (even though we just give out FLOCs) and then they look at the people getting bake sales and poo poo done and figure "let's give it to them because they're helping the organization".

poo poo like that is why most of us want to get out in the first place. Our jobs aren't too bad when you think about and can be kind of cool. Fixing radios, shooting poo poo, making tons of metal move across hundreds of nautical miles, having the possibility of affecting someone's life. But there's idiots all around us, the kind that you hear from other people "that's a lovely sailor" and the kind that people go "oh gently caress I can't wait until they move him to the USS SHORTBUS", they end up in leadership positions and gently caress it up for everyone. Some people weather it well and have a support of other like-minded people to show them it's not full of SN Fuckstick, Chief Gomer and CAPT Pile. Others don't and know a PO1 that hasn't changed from SN Fuckstick and just keeps advancing with knee pads and command involvement. If you don't want to play the game, don't sign a new contract.

Edit: Also lol, some clinics are so small like in my command that when providers are forced to deal in command involvement we can have gaps in the schedule and it's effectively like we are closed. So sorry MML, often times we have no power even if we want to just stay at work rather than seeing a bunch of rear end holes at a picnic.

^This. LT "V/R and R" was ranked ahead of me by the same department head who counseled me for using the f bomb because it hurt LT "V/R and R's" ears (who incidentally used "LCDR (SEL)" as part of his signature. I had objectively don tons more work, and in fact had been brought on twice to his cases to try to unfuck them at the last minute. So I asked why the rankings came out the way they did. "Well he organized the change of command" "Oh...you mean the collateral duty that's technically mine, but I couldn't do because you sent me on travel handling all the out of area cases while he never left base?"

A large portion of FITREP ranking is based around making sure you don't inadvertently send a negative message to the board first, and actual performance second. Presumably, if he ended up selecting for LCDR while there, he had been there for a while and was going up for a board. If he had previously been ranked 1/X or whatever before you got there, it gets risky moving him down (or keeping him in the same place) so you're the 1/X or the EP or whatever because that shows a negative trend to the board and would likely put him at the top of the FOS pile in the tank. If the CO really did want to do that, and rank you over him for your superior performance, he has to be willing to effectively say your performance is so good (or his so bad) that it is worth potentially forcing him out of the Navy. If career timing works out so that you'll be there longer, or you're relatively new at a command, etc. that's all figured into the rankings just as much as actual performance because the command generally wants the flexibility to be able to move people up in trait average and ranking to show a positive trend throughout your entire time at the command, which they can't do if they make you the 5.0 EP superstar early, even if you deserve it.

I know all this. LCDR (SEL) was the department head. I had gotten there first, and would be leaving first because I was unaccompanied. LT V/R and R was a blue falcon piece of poo poo but he kissed rear end well and made sure everyone knew that with his "37 lineal numbers ahead of mine" he *might* be up for O4 first. Maybe.
