Schools create environments that empower bullies/shits/fuckups. The shifty kid doesn't care about suspensions. The good kid who would stand up to the shifty kid does. So now there is a disincentive for good kids to stand up to bullies and God knows most teacher's don't do shot about it.

sounds more like some awkward navy brat said the wrong thing to a jock who took advantage of the situation, hell I hear "what's up n***a" all the time around here. That's nothing to beat someone up over.

Match violence with violence, match words with words. The poo poo kid should be punched for jumping all over peoples' backs. If he's just talking poo poo you can just say something mean. In fact, people don't kill themselves over losing a fight, but if you can make them feel worthless enough with something you say they sometimes do. Did you know words really can hurt?

If I had a nickel every time I heard a black sailor use that word I'd be rich. If I had a nickel for every time I hear a white sailor friend say it in the company of said black sailors I could fill up a sock. It's frustrating.

The other kid hit hers first. He was saying the slurs and threw the first punch. Her kid is in trouble because his response was beating the poo poo out of the little bastard.

Yeah, and I still hate most corpsemen. Records room for the clinic next door is cleaning out their records and are finding some that were thought lost, one of which they brought to me because it had some mental health stuff in it. I remember the guy because he was a frequent patient, he was losing his mind looking for his record and they end up pulling it out of a cabinet 2 years after he needed it. Lord knows if he was able to get to the VA with some of the stuff considering he needed it to continue care. So yeah, gently caress medical. We've got some people that are alright, but a lot of dudes are clueless. One kid looked at me and was surprised someone "could be allergic to Sofas." Patient said Sulfa drugs. Motherfucking Sulfa, and this cockbag is scratching his head at an allergy he made up for a loving inanimate object.

Honestly I just need a Snickers and a handle of Kraken.

All pecker checker jokes aside, I have to admit that except for one incident, my experiences with the navy's medical system have been pretty much on the positive side. Carry on making fun of pecker checkers please.

One time I went to the doc (e-6 corpseman) and told him 'it burns when I pee'. The dude hadn't even finished checking into the boat yet and the leaving cpo corpseman(lmbo) told him 'welp you can take this one'.

Wasn't autocorrect. I expected a bit more responsibility from them before they head out to their volunteering bake sales.


Favorite STD story is the one in the Marine thread where a Marine spent weeks trying to pop dick warts thinking they were pimples. The IDC doc gave him some stripping thing that skinned his balls. All he needed was an ointment or something hahaha.

But if Navy medicine caused your dick to fall off, they'd leave you entitled to disability, or a new robo-dick. Change the channel with your erection. Set off an EMP with your orgasms. Provide free wifi to the masses as you travel. The possibilities are endless! Then again, with the government, you'd be lucky if your replacement dong doesn't short circuit and leave you fried, but hey just another risk in free medicine.

Nothing will suprise me about Navy medicine after they cut out a hemorrhoid but didnt think any pain meds other than a shot right before the cut was needed.

4 corpsmen got NAMs two years ago for being part of the citadel exercise security was doing, they only did like 2 days. You'll get a NAM someday Arione, when you're separating probably :glomp:

Yea never ever volunteer for security poo poo. It always ends up being playing gate guard and bullshit. Raw deal that you volunteered and your command isn't supporting you.

Question for enlisted Goons:

When your DIVO has a job for you and he says "We need to take care of whatever task" when he of course really means you need to take care of it, is it more annoying than if he just comes right out and says "You need to do this" or does him saying "we" make you feel more like part of a team?

Better with being up front with who is doing what, leadership is more than just telling people what to do such as delegating workload around so that the team remains balanced and you gain trust in the people around you to do whatever they're assigned. If they don't know how to do and you have a body to spare, have them teach the fucker. If fucker is an idiot, then don't just let him loaf around and do something about it, bring in 3rd or 2nd or 1st classes to teach him something if there's some issue with them doing it, Chief being the last guy that needs to be bothered with it because his coffee might get cold.
