I am not sure if you are loving with me here. If so, my excuse is my lack of sleep. If not, that's cool too.


LDOs are just warrant officers who work in a field that offers the possibility of a commission. At CWO3 they submit their package and get Capt bars if selected.

Rumormill dropping off some quality information this week

Busybody s-3 sergeant (we're a small enough detachment we've got less than like 10 NCOs in all of the S shops) comes back from maternity leave a while ago, gets told she can't say she's fat because she's pregnant anymore, and decides to take the discharge instead of getting back into shape before the deadline they wanted to establish with her.

I'm hearing they are changing it so it's harder to do that. No more guaranteed 20 year service nor can you put in a package for W.O. if you are a 1P SSgt.

Also how do Meritorious SSgt boards typically go?

The navy does have barbers on ships. The problem is, they're in a wider job field beyond cutting hair and get rotated out to do stupid poo poo like run the ship's store or laundry. The one guy that can probably give a decent fade, though, is just some random black dude that lives in your berthing.

What do they call the people who run the mobile laundry trailers they'd bring out to FOBs in Afghanistan? We had people run a shower tent and did our laundry for us. It doesn't sound like glamorous work or anything but I imagine it's a pretty laid back field to be in.

Hygiene Equipment Operators?

There was a kid in my boot platoon that got that and he was really pissed because he was certain that he had a combat engineer contract and his recruiter switched it on him right before he shipped.
