Nwabudike Morgan posted:i mean like, i guess i could just get adsepped and boogey on out of the navy with my top secret clearance, but that would feel like a pretty BM move. ADSEPs can carry a variety of dismissal types as its just a separation process IIRC. Why don't you contact your LPO or whoever and make sure this ps3 isn't a retard? I don't know anything about the reserves but have you not spoken to anyone in your chain about this?

If you don't want to play the game get out of the navy and experience a somewhat less institutionalised version of the same thing. At no point has the navy or even American society ever been close to a meritocracy.

Analogical posted:Maybe a wise course of action would be testing all qualified sailors again, seeing what the majority got right and then restructuring the pins around what is ultimately used, taking into account rating-specific knowledge. I don't think further reducing the scope of training to tribal knowledge is a worthwhile training platform. Its essentially the process that the qual program seems designed to avoid. Just keep qual cards up to date with equipment and procedural revisions and the program should continue to function effectively. Having to look up correct answers to obscure system characteristics should be informative to both the person giving the checkout and the person receiving the checkout. Getting qualified was easy. The whole process was easily one of the most valuable aspects of the whole navy experience imo Kawasaki Nun fucked around with this message at 03:58 on May 11, 2015 |

Kind of a long drive and I was hoping to sight see besides roadkill on the I10. Only thing I'm going to really stop for is the WW2 museum in New Orleans. You should check the NOLA.com calendar for events in new orleans. I think oyster fest is coming up and there are tons of events all summer long there. Edit: Actually you just missed oyster fest. Doesn't really matter though its pretty easy to have a good time in new orleans.

LingcodKilla posted:Need to find a good place to eat. Any personal favorites? Baccanal is great to start or end a sophisticated evening with a shitload of wine and spirits and good food. You should go to Crabby jacks. It is an excellent place to get a poboy. Outside of that there are tons of good places to go eat, its hard to go wrong. Its also crawfish season so stopping by any seafood shop and getting 5+lbs and a sixpack of beer makes for a great outdoor lunch. Willie Mae's scotch house opened up an uptown location if you want to have the best fried chicken of your life. Edit: Also make sure to have a dozen oyster appetizer at any restaurant that serves them. They're dirt cheap relative to other parts of the country.

LingcodKilla posted:Just visited New Orleans. Spent most of a day at museums and yeah they hilariously in denial on how awful they were during antebellum times. State rights! Woo! Freedom! Octaroon balls were super hosed up. Legally if all your grandparents were white you were white. The children of Octaroons and a white mother/father would therefore be "white" so all the rich old dudes in the surrounding area would have these little get together to solicit mistresses. In exchange their children would be provided for and educated. My middle school history teacher emphasized that the civil war was about states rights about two dozen times during the week we learned about it.
