We had a department event today and I actually have fun. I had fun in the Navy. Strange feeling.

And everyone brought their actual dogs, and at no point did a single person talk about work, evals, or any Navy bullshit. It was kind of cool.

Boon posted:So an Admiral liked the challenge coin I designed (with the help of Sir Lucious?) so much that he's personally tasked me to develop one for the N3 Directorate because of course he did. Despite the source that immediately went to the bottom of my personal and professional priorities list and now he's apparently upset and wants it by Friday. Hey you designed it, I just did the vector trace. Send it my way again (sirlucius at gmail.com).

Analogical posted:Have you ever gotten a coin before? Our command doesn't have any coins I'm aware of and I've never heard of anyone getting one outside asking the Admiral a bullshit first question about when CTs will have opportunities to go to space (serious loving question. guy got EMI for being a jackass and embarrassing 800 people) I've gotten one from General Nakasone, he uses poker chips.

So it looks like the quarterdeck watch has pissed off enough departments that they're going back to it being staffed by those stuck in holding. This was pretty much the best news and now I can't use "gently caress duty days" as an excuse for getting out of the Navy. But seriously, gently caress duty days, they have no point at an intel command.

Angry Fish posted:Every Navy thread, PneumaticBook has to make his every other post a "guys, guys guys...huehuehue! this POSTER is a shitbag! guys! this IDIOT sucks at life," shouted into the echo chamber. I'm kind of sorry for responding to it. I just assumed he has PTSD or something.

Analogical posted:South hasn't figured that out yet. We stand watch practically monthly and it makes no sense that the loving holdees don't do it since they do jack poo poo anyway for like three months and we get them weekly. The other chain doesn't even care if we worked mids, your rear end comes in for day shift with a two hour adjustment. We had a CMC like that from the air community. "This command isn't Navy enough" is utter bullshit. I've heard people say, "oh you don't go on a ship? You're not even in the real Navy." Is it really so bad that our community isn't completely infected with rule-thumping retards who have never had an original thought in their entire lives? I don't think I want to know what the real Navy is like, because almost everything I've heard and seen that comes out of it has been negative.

Also, let me tell you about all the warfare devices I have in my title, so you know who to go to if you need an expert.

Pandasmores posted:I did work for some places with stuff like that, but it wasn't a matter of losing individuality from it. It's not accompanied by a lot of the bullshit you're expected to do because of your placement, and if someone under you fucks up then the hammer comes down. In a regular job your underling fucks up and you don't have to stand by them. Some kid under me doesn't pass the PRT or fails room inspections or gets some hambeast out in town pregnant there is the possibility of an inflated sense responsibility as a supervisor to do something. It's because we (as in the military) are supposed to be able to die together. It doesn't translate as well to a shore command/non combat zone, but then again who knows, maybe crazy civilian contractor is going to want to shoot up the Navy yard again. There's some baseline responsibility in there, even if it's just a tiny bit more than you'd have with a typical co-worker at the home depot.

I like the new GBS, the previous version of GBS was basically just reddit comments.

Wow dude, that's absolute bullshit. I was TDY for 2 weeks and I was told to move that bullet point up higher because they thought it looked good. What the gently caress about someone in DIRSUP whose entire job is not being home? I guess maybe it's for if you're at a training command for six months, but for your case that's complete crap.
