The speed that the Navy moves admin is sometimes terrifying, terrifying slow....

Still waiting for someone somewhere in the states to stamp my SUBDQ paperwork, so I can finally be released from the submarine community. But because it's taking so long, it's time to go back to "Fit for Full" and fend off orders until my force conversion is processed which can only happen once SUBDQ is finalized. I've also been the one driving this entire process, paperwork and all, I would hate for someone to actually have to rely on other people to finish this. Although I'm sure my current ECM will be happy to get rid of me(extremely overmanned), then after that it's time to poke ECMs for anyone that will take me, fighting for CTN, CT(Whatever) then IT, being a first class makes it kinda of pain in the rear end though. Any CT's willing to vouch for me?

tl;dr: the navy sucks at paperwork and it's own programs, no way a junior sailor could get though this without inadvertently loving himself over...

If you're anything but an E4, good luck going CTN. I've been fighting to cross over as an E5 and unless you're YG 08/09, there's hardly any billets right now and the few available take an interview with a CTNCS, NCC and a final talk with the TechAd. TechAd isn't even considering people without current IT certs or documented college with a CS/CYB degree plan. Not sure what it looks like for E6s though you could check CWAY for conversion-IR quotas.

CTN will swallow you faster than an E2 boot if you're an E4 though. Get a DUI and ask for reduction in rank

Not a nuke and I fit the magic 09 Yeargroup, so there that at least...

so like, do people just roll onto ships with like tons of 120ml bottles or something? if i go on a ship i'd like to bring as much liquid as i would need but im having a hard time conceptualizing 10 months of liquid

There was a system on the boat for the vapers. All doors to the Torpedo Room shut, and alarm system left over from the 80's activated in silent mode. As long as you watched the alarm light, you could vape, and if the door opened and the alarm light turned on, you pocket that poo poo fast. Had a fat ITS get caught by the CO, slap on the wrist, but served as a warning to the rest of the crew. Most of the vapers I know brought a ton of those little bottles that look like eye medication and used them, when supplies where low trading happened. It was a good little community on the boat that wasn't affected by the supply vs time underway market.

I need some paperwork advice and maybe a little bit more than just that. CTN TECHAD just bounced my conversion package for use of "Psycho pharmaceuticals" and says I'm not going to be allowed to any IDC rating. Here is the kicker, it was a stomach medication with no effects or uses outside of stomach medication(Bentyl for anyone that cares, it slows lower intestines movement speed). I'm no longer on the medication, but he responded with "just being prescribed" is the problem. Something isn't sitting right with this, I've combed MANMED with no mention of anything involving it, the requirements make no mention of it for the rating, not listed on any website involved with conversions or the rating. MILPERSMAN isn't providing any more information. I already hold the required clearances and served in positions beyond what CTN would require security wise. I'm not giving up on this until I find it in writing and to see if it is waiver able. I've seen people on anti-depressants get into and maintain IDC ratings, but some stomach meds for a short time are a no-go? This reeks to high heaven and I'm not letting this go.

Pandasmores posted:

I wonder if NAMI would be involved since it wasn't prescribed for the mood disorders it's usually given for. Did they want a psychiatric waiver or did he just say "no because reasons"? A roundabout and probably time consuming way would be to get psychiatric clearance, but that'd probably extend your time waiting for papers. Maybe getting a memo from the prescribing provider in support of his diagnosis for it to be prescribed on the basis of the intestinal movement controls.

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.

I have a diagnosed anxiety condition and am on various anti depressants to deal with it. I converted from CTT to CTN. If you have an active SCI clearance, that hasn't been pulled for medical reasons, the tech ad is full of poo poo. Bentyl isn't really even psychoactive beyond possible addiction potential like everything else.

Edit: sure he didn't read it as Fentanyl or something?

I can't assume anything else other than he read "Psycho Pharmaceuticals" before saying no and moving on to his next email which makes this frustrating. Clearance is well and maintained, I've even discussed it with with the security officer prior to DQ and they had no issues with the meds and clearance. I've been off the meds for over a month now with no side effects.

So my friend said that MANMED ch 15 would cover these kind of things but it's not usually a specific medicine but rather what is causing the medicine to be prescribed. There are some potential pretty nasty potential side effects but seeing as you aren't even on the med anymore my friend was pretty mystified. You need to find a trusty, knowledgeable NC and see if they can give you the references. Is the medical condition a permanent one?

Not permanent, it held me over until I made some lifestyle changes(diet) so I have no need for it ever again. Me and my CCC(Backed up a NCCM) combed MANMED CH 15 with a fine tooth comb and couldn't get anything even remotely related to come up. It's pretty much going to be generate a bunch of documents from medical, throw them in the package and if it's denied again let them explain it with proof, references, examples before NCCM puts on his fighting gloves.

wondering if the navy has a similar policy? cause i like these hemp seed drinks and they got hella omega 3 acids. also vape store nearby started to introduce hemp oil vapes instead of nicotine and that seems like a novel way to ween myself off nicotine, doesn't contain THC.

don't want to get busted up for something dumb like that if it's a possibility

Be careful with that, I've heard horror stories but never knew the guy(if they existed at all, and just aren't made up sea stories for wasting time) but even that would be enough to turn me off from trying. Just not worth it if it does pop because there is no defense in that case, not even the slickest sea lawyers could realistically fight a positive whiz quiz, and that is what makes the program so effective.
