Sometimes I feel like I'm getting to gently caress the Navy back for all of those years of active duty weinerbutting.

buttplug posted:Because bubble heads never have shore duty and are the only sea-going, arduous-duty, deployable job in the Navy... The first part of your post is pretty spot on, actually. *Nuke bitching* As a surface-nuke, I averaged 3 section duty + 12 hour workdays for about 8 of the 9 years I was on a ship. When I say duty, I mean it was down in the plant, skipping meals, usually 2-3 hours of sleep if I was lucky, not the "sit phone watch at the barracks and do a tour" like you might be thinking. Every 3rd day you're working all night. Every 3rd day you're sleeping off duty once you get home at 5-6pm. Good luck attending classes. Then again, submarine-nukes had it worse than me in almost every way since they are regularly 2 section. The only normal shore duty that nukes get is recruiting. Everything else (except for a few positions teaching A-school that mainly go to chiefs that have already done an arduous shore duty) is about as bad as sea duty. The -best- part of my shore duty was 5 section rotating shiftwork, ~10 hour days, 7 day workweeks. *end nuke bitching* Expecting anyone to have time to "better themselves" in that career path is ridiculous. If you have time to do all of those IT certs and a masters degree, you have a cake job.

I'll restate my post: Some communities have shore duties that are just as poo poo as their sea duties. For people in those communities, the only option is to wait until postEAOS for significant self improvement.

Analogical posted:They're Senior Junior NCOs. SJNCOs SIJ NOKS It's not that hard if you're in the right rate. I put on first after about the same amount of time. I was only 22 at the time plus I look young anyway. I had someone ask me at least once a week if I was wearing the right uniform. Several people even demanded to see my ID card. I then proceeded to not make chief for the next 6 years.

poopkitty posted:Bro I'm so with you. McDonald's doesn't give a gently caress if you're married. I mean, I get that it's hard for spouses to find jobs and that's why they incentivize housing - but I don't give a gently caress. You chose this life, suck it up buttercup. Everyone should get BAH commensurate with rank regardless of dependent status. (And the OHA process is beyond hosed, especially for dual mil. At least it's in the hands of foreign nationals with NO FREAKING CLUE what you're talking about when you ask questions.) I just want to point out that every navy spouse sells either mary kay, shakelogy, or some other MLM scheme

PneumonicBook posted:No kidding. I saw a dude who graduated from Excelsior get accepted to a masters program at Concordia in Wisconsin which is a legitimate (private) school. My semi-fake Excelsior degree got me accepted to ODU's master in engineering management program... though I'm not sure if that's something to brag about. My engineering school accepted 0 from there. I usually don't even list it on my resume. For what it's worth, I've only heard good things about WGU. SpaceJustice posted:You can't really waste TA. On the flip side, I got my class schedule for the Spring semester! How was the Calculus for you? I haven't done it in around seven years and am a little nervous. Calc 1: Struggled a lot at first, had to learn how to stay caught up with the highschool kids. I discovered that trigonometry was actually really important. Calc 2: Struggled more, gradually got caught up. I regret not learning the sequences section as much as I should've. Basically, you need to have every trig identity, euler identity, and every derivative and integral equation memorized. Calc 3: Had a poo poo teacher, didn't learn that much. I had to relearn this on my own in diffeq2. I've been told that this will be even more important in my electromagnetics class than it is now. Linear Algebra: Cake. Not worth mentioning. It's useful stuff though. Diffeq 1: Great teacher, learned a lot, figured out math. became a math person. Don't forget linear algebra because you use it a lot once you get into systems of differential equations. Diffeq 2: A little rough in some areas (Method of Frobenius was the hardest part. read the wikipedia article if you want a headache) but there was a ton of overlap with engineering so it helped. Fourier series expansion and Fourier transforms are really important in engineering so don't skimp here. E: If you have math questions, feel free to PM me. I'm pretty good at it at this point.

ManMythLegend posted:However, Stats and probs was the most valuable math class I ever took. It's a shame that a lot of Engineering curriculums don't require it. If you have room for a math elective I would highly recommend you take at least the intro class. For some reason, our prob and stats course is offered as a 400 level engineering class for EEs. Welp, took my last final. I have one presentation to do for a pretty cool math elective class I took then that's it until mid-Jan. 12 classes left.
