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.

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).


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

Looks like they brought in the experts to give training.

I'm planning my Africa trip right now. The training I had to go to is comdedic (since its mostly Army stuff), and things like "be careful and don't eat local food," and it involves a lot of absurd medical precautions before I head over. I mean I feel like they think I'm going to go into the deepest part of Congo or go meet up with Kony (the LRA needs to be removed) or sneak into South Sudan and teach them things.

They might have good reason to wonder about your trip. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/21/how-former-us-army-officer-launched-disastrous-coup-the-gambia

I get it old retired guy, your Navy was better for whatever reason, okay chief sure, you don't like participation trophies (it isn't one), etc. It gives people at boot something to strive for if they really want to Joe Navy it up, good for them. I mean who really gives a gently caress about chest candy?

I intend to break this down, even it takes an hour, to the level they need to understand and then provide the slides to them with the notes for later reference. My hope is that they actually learn some perspective and can think critically when it comes to their daily lives and finances.

You should explain to them some of the advantages/disadvantages of planning for retirement, like investing in the TSP and or IRAs in addition to staying away from the Camaro with E-1 and up financing.

What's the upside to the TSP and am I a dingus for not just having that money go to my IRA instead?

If you're still in the navy I would do both, IRA and the TSP. If you've left the navy and aren't some kind of civil servant that can still contribute to your TSP, I would roll it into whatever IRA you have.
