Sonar techs are smelly and weird. One time we caught one of them smoking spice in the NIXIE room. Whelp that's my sonar tech story. EDIT: Holy loving poo poo they also had a bad habit of draining my loving skid constantly because they were bad and dumb, gently caress sonar techs forever.

SPACE HOMOS posted:This is true. The A-school in point loma is full of stinky retards. I knew a guy who ate nothing but chef boyardee and smoked nonstop, his room smelt so loving bad. Our CA2 WCS used to play video games nonstop in nixie and piss out of the nixie tubes. On the cruiser I was on my skid (the computer/display skid) cooled a couple of their consoles and they always felt the need to gently caress with valves. Seriously every time it was empty I just walked up to control and looked under the deck plates. By the time I left the ship the sonar techs they had onboard were mostly normal people (including a normal girl!) but holy poo poo were the weird ones loving out there.

Angry Fish is an enormous pos so really no one should be happy about him getting those bennies. Panda the normal stg girl I was talking about is a long way out of the navy so it couldn't have been you. E: I mean good for you though, who knows maybe the navy made you the way you are.

vulturesrow posted:Mods!  E6 evals are being debriefed and from what I'm hearing brag sheets were mostly ignored. Also this CO didn't want to hear about college classes/us maps/cool/etc unless you got a degree or certification from it. This led to things like a dude who's getting his masters in a few weeks being told he'd been coasting. Clearly the eval system is totally fine though.

ManMythLegend posted:As a relatively senior guy on here who has had to go through more ranking boards then I ever wanted I will give all of you some advice about evals, and that is the primary factor used to rank people is quality of work in your actual job with respect to how much face time you get with your primary ranking level*. It's not bake sales, or CPO 365, or whatever the gently caress. I agree with most of what you said as someone who's collected plenty of EP's (on a ship). That being said, as an instructor at ET/FC 'A' with a full load of classes (and a whole bunch of absolutely ridiculous rules that make filling our classes with instructors especially challenging) there is literally no way to stand out in that way unless you come to the command at the right time and are chosen as the next lpo/student coordinator/whatever. Our entire day is spent instructing, period, full stop. Compare that to Promar or ATT. Promar instructors have one class on deck every three weeks or so. ATT has enough manning to have two instructors per class, which lets the other instructor go faff about under a dude's desk or whatever. I suppose we're supposed to make up neato collaterals or something to get face time. A funny thing said to me at my last eval debrief was that people can't get ranked by their primary duty. Everyone is exactly as good at instructing as everyone else which is the most loving lolol thing I've ever heard. There are ways to directly measure the effectiveness of an instructor, the command chooses not to though and keeps doing it the "Navy" way though, which automatically screws our command over. Also I was more commenting on the immense disconnect we have with our (even immediate) CoC. Like how do you not know what your sailors are doing? We do CDBs and poo poo constantly. I imagine our Chiefs are our primary rankers, except there's a million of them spread out between all of CSCSU and it probably becomes a pissing match with seniority overruling anything else. Actually I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happens judging by all of the extra bullshit that gets thrown our buildings way because "A senior chief threw his star down". This command is super hosed, the eval thing is just one part of it. Anyway, there's my enlisted.txt for the month. This command is completely hosed, the eval thing is just one part of it.

ManMythLegend posted:Yeah, for a sprawling shore command like a school house it's got to be incredibly tough to break out. And they're sort of right about ranking everyone based on their actual job because I doubt you guys are collecting data that would allow differentiation between instructors. In that case I would say just being visibile in anyway you can is the best way to "break out". We actually do, not that anyone looks at it. AFAIK scores, averages, failures, and critiques are all cataloged into a database for NETC. Also the amount of people that should never be allowed anywhere near students but make it through special duty screening and then NITC is staggering. For every one good instructor we get it seems like we get three that sleep with students/are socially inept/were terminal expo/etc. Whenever I hear that we're the top ten percent of the Navy I just laugh and laugh.
