She was "i used to be a model" hot. Actually hot. Pinup hot. Cute face, big tits, fat rear end. But she knew it and oh my god was she a bitch. No use for that.

Pretty sure she never stripped. Do you know her name? (like actual name?)

Been rollercoastering with the detailer/CCs the past three weeks, not helping that my year group is 126% over-manned for my NEC, I don't qualify for conversion to another language or a DIRSUP billet, and my options were:

JSOC
Re-enlist CTI
Crossrate CTN
Blue to Green

What kills me is the JSOC programs that take 35Ps and 1N3s, but won't take a CTI. None of them know the reason for that either and were surprised when I mentioned it. Two of them were really interested in me because of my training/instructor record but weren't able to take me unless I was a CTN for what I'm good at. The Chief from TIO more or less told me to gently caress myself slowly from behind even though I'm an instructor in classes his personnel have to fly to us to take on a regular basis.

Command pushed me to go for CTN, since that's what they basically made me train into anyway sans operations, but the DoD won't pay for any of my certs like Sec+, CCNA or CEH so it's coming out of my pocket to possibly pass, I'm spending 600 this month alone on them. The CTNCM tech advisor said they aren't taking E5 crossrates from any year group but 2009 and 2008 unless I can convince him over email that I know something about cybersecurity and show him some certificates to back it up. So, he said to email once I get CCNA.

According to my CC, my options are CTM or get out (For jobs that retain use of a TS and my work experience, arguably my best asset). However, with terminal leave I'm not out until next November. I'm in my PRD window, but I'm also about to fail my last DLPT (You can fail 3 in a row) at which point I'm forced to reclass unless the CO lets me ride out my final 18 months as a CTI. They asked why I keep failing and I was like, I dunno man, I haven't used Arabic in three years and you have me doing this other thing.

I was going to re-enlist if I could go CTN, now I'm curious if I'll get sent to CTM until I'm out since it's only a 4 month school or if I'll stay where I am and gracefully fade away. My civilian chain finds it all pretty interesting since they didn't even know I was a linguist to begin with, though it does feel weird to essentially be told I'm getting fired. I wish I was an E4, the CTNs are swallowing up E4 crossrates but I had the misfortune to get promoted to the untouchable caste.

tl;dr whatever, at least I've got my post 9/11 and know contractors. I've got savings and it's not the end of the world to be pushed out.

As a previous Pearl Harbor sailor, my favorite part of Battleship is the old crusty captain ordering "All Ahead Flank" as the break the mooring chains.The thought of the Missouri blasting out of the harbor channel at 30+ never fails to put a smile on my face.

From where I'm sitting ( I interact with a lot of IW folks), the community is kind of a mess. IMO it is very mismanaged (more so than other designators). And I'm saying this as a guy who very much believes in IW as a legitimate warfare area.

I'm in a coxswain course this week. So far:

Wore a 70 SPF rashguard longsleeve shirt and cammie pants, constantly doused my face and neck with sunscreen, forgot to put sunscreen on my hands, hands are sunburned but nowhere else

Forgot my phone was in my pocket after lunch, jumped off the RHIB into the water for swimmer pick up practice, noticed within 10 seconds, phone is drying out in a bag of rice right now

Good fun other than that though.

Alright, well I was given my two week notice today. I get to pick a CREO 1 job, have my CDB and have the CO sign me away to a new A-school because there are no orders available for my year group/rank combo with my NEC. Out of the list, I chose IT(SS) since I had to pick one. How lovely is Pensacola as an NCO? Also, IT-wise, I hear you can lean radio or lean networking. What's the factor in going one way or the other? If I reach Groton in August I'll have a little over 14 months as an ITS.

It's "No, because you where prescribed this medication" with no references or "get this waiver" provided, hence the heavy search of MANMED and MILPERSMAN that came up with nothing even remotely related. I'm considering now talking with my doc(corpsman), and maybe getting a referral or something to mental health for a statement or something along those lines if it would help.
