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.

What are you freaking out about? It's a frocked E5 eval after only 2.5 years in. Yes, it is going to look like "bottom of the barrel" that's literally how the system works, even if you're the biggest cock on the block. You 6 are literally the most junior E5s at the command, of course you're going to get bare minimum Ps.

The name of the game isn't about getting straight perfect marks across the board, it's about upward-trending. You will undoubtedly continue to trend upward in your new rank, but it would do you a disservice to be frocked and rate an MP/EP and then have to demonstrate progress from that point. Trust me, a P/3.0 on a frocked eval is a GOOD position to be in.

So when it's okay to be a lady-boy or a boy-lady in the Nav can a male say his hair identifies gender-wise as a female and thusly be permitted to grow it long?

I really doubt MCPON gives a gently caress about some dipshit cheifs, If you've read the times he already knows 1/2 of em are a worthless pack of wannabe frat boys who shout things like tradition and deckplate leadership, whilst knowing the definition of neither.

one other small thing I disagree with above is just because a guy is technically sound in his field does not mean he has the ability to lead/manage a work center. I've seen people who excel at their job but suck at leading.

They are. They get a special uniform allowance for all their poo poo.

Edit:

FY-2015 Navy Special Initial Clothing Allowance
Special Reason Male Female
Advancement to CPO $1,096.21 $927.50
Selection to OCS, ECP, or Seaman to Admiral Program $1,872.57 $2,002.47


For the new officers that's the last uniform allowance they'll ever get. The Chiefs still get their annual allowance as well.

Dunno if you've seen the "4 Reasons I Am Resigning My Commission As A Naval Officer" article that's been making the rounds. http://taskandpurpose.com/4-reasons-i-am-resigning-my-commission-as-a-naval-officer/

The online response by senior (meaning mostly terminal O4s and O5s) has been "How dare she complain and criticize without recommending solutions! Priviliged millennial!" Which speaks volumes for itself. The fact that the institution doesn't tolerate any criticism or legitimate complaint basically dooms itself to continue to make the same mistakes over and over again.

Hi everyone - I've posted here a couple of times and folks have been helpful. I have a sensitive question and really no way to find an answer and hope someone can help.

I found out Friday that my husband, before he went to basic got very drunk and committed assault and destroyed well over 1,000.00 in property. He went to Basic on the 21st.

The people that this happened to, at their home, showed up and our house Friday with video of the incident. Initially I think they were in shock, but now they are madder than hell.

I guess my question is, what happens if they go to the Police Station, and it sounds like they will, and a felony warrant gets issued? Is the Navy going to kick him out or try to help him? Will they let him go to court, does he have to appear?

Needless to say I have been up worrying about this and have no idea what happens next. If anyone has some insight into how the Navy handles this I would appreciate it.

That is not the case in the Fleet. So we

I really hope this at least makes it.

We had four women serve on my submarine while I was on it. Three of them were highly competent and an asset to the ship. A 3:1 ratio of useful:fucktard is about the same as it is for the male officers.

It was kind of annoying having to wait to use the shower sometimes. They also got staterooms regardless of seniority which is kind of bullshit from the viewpoint of the male officers. Also they really put the wardroom at a disadvantage for the Chiefs vs. Officers softball game.

Also some people went overboard with political correctness/walking on eggshells. This tapered off somewhat over time. (we were all-male for the first half of my tour)

There is some definite favoritism for the female submariners w/r/t things like detailing, JOOY consideration, etc. They tend to get easier checkouts from the enlisted guys too.

All of the problems I have with it are cases of "special treatment" rather than "equality". These will probably become less commonplace as female submariners become the norm instead of new and special.

Overall it worked well enough. Integrating female enlisted is going to be a lot more expensive and a lot more of a pain in the rear end though. (that's coming next year FYI)
