In this case your anecdotal evidence checks out. I retract my previous accusation. Keelhaul all khakis.

I wonder if it's just resistance to actually having to learn in their old age? If someone finds out a better or more efficient way, that means they weren't smart enough to figure it out themselves, so it's a personal insult to their intelligence. This insecurity then embiggens a threat response to shut the initiative down.

Haha, oh wow. All the students at CID just had to sign these new Page 13's. They all have a single paragraph on them and it's too good not to share. It defines (so it can outlaw) sexual activity (on base).

quote:

For the purposes of this instruction, "sexual activity" means fondling, foreplay, vaginal intercourse, anal intercourse, fellatio, cunnilingus, digital penetration of the vagina or anus, or penetration of the vaginal or anal opening by an inanimate object, when such an activity concurs between persons, regardless of the sex of the individuals involved. To arouse or gratify the sexual desire of any person is also defined as sexual activity, which may include kissing.

Every single student had to sign one.
They even had Chiefs come in to explain and elaborate on things like what "digital penetration" means.

On the Nimitz during 2006-2009, I had a gaming laptop. One of the last ones alienware made before Dell purchased them. Took that thing literally all around the world with me. It has sand from Dubai and Fallon in it both. Played Dawn of War: Dark Crusade for months.

Nimitz had a computer classroom for NCPACE. On Sundays, the ITs from ComSys would run the join and install Battlefield and Warcraft III on it. Had so much fun doing that, the next deployment I brought a wireless router with me and set up an Ad-Hoc network in the berthing. Everyone who brought their laptops connected to it and we could play games with each other.

I asked a few months ago and got a Coastie to reply mostly, but any DC GiP goons that can say yes or no to living near N Kings Highway? The place is very close to the Walmart Supercenter down that way. Friend of a friend said the closer you get to Groveton and Hybla Valley the sketchier it gets. Since next command will have weird working hours, I'd rather not come off a super long shift only to get shanked (which is why I ruled out southeast despite it being very close to JBAB.)

Dedicated off-street parking and w/d in unit are a must (entitled enlisted I guess) so if anybody has recommendations, I'm all ears. Thanks.

I once asked the CNO (Greenert at the time) about the US Navy's response to Chinese Carriers once.

Everyone rolled their eyes at me. He gave me a coin and responded that Chinese can't operate in blue water yet and were coastal.

For those goons on the out can you give me lessons learned on the DD214 drafting/approval process?

When I was discharged from enlisted service to attend USNA my DD214 was all messed up and I had no say or awareness of the process. I had to submit a DD215 to get some stuff added and even that was done because a kind admin gentleman at the academy fought it on my behalf.

I just want to make sure everything that I've earned and done is properly documented before I get out.

My lesson learned was: Don't expect to obtain your DD214 on a timely basis when some crazy loving NMCI IT gently caress decides to shoot up the place in Andrews AFB.
