#2 isn't ALWAYS bad...

I witnessed GE sign off on unlimited operations for a CF6-80 that ran at flight idle for over two hours on a mixture of ~30% MobilJet II and 70% Skydrol. Jet engines give no fucks.

An NFO, the most useless of designators for careers outside the Navy.

That being said, I did talk with a contractor a while back at a conference that said there were a lot of companies who were eager to hire WTIs, with the caveat that you're still involved with the exact same poo poo that you did while in. You're just not required to work on weekends or shave every day.

Which is pretty much the complete opposite of what I want to do.

I know I can get _a_ job, I just want to hit the ground running. Luckily I have a buddy who has been recruiting for years and and he knows his poo poo so I'm in pretty good hands. Just nervous because the Navy is literally all I've known in my adult life. I'm definitely ready to move on at this point but yeah it's definitely starting all over.

Already had that conversation. The worst part was I was ok with driving 1000 miles to test at my NOSC but one of my officers talked me out of it saying it should be fine to take my test at the closer NOSC.

Aren't you an IT? Have to be a couple of you testing at the same time, they can just split the test and be done with it.

After a random senior chief tried to force me into the test it was noted there wasn't a single IT2 taker so no actual test to take.

It is internal to a grad-student MBA consulting team to help guide their thinking and decision making for a veterans organization in the Minneapolis area. I'm not familiar with the project, but a friend, AF vet and current national guard pilot, is on the team and asked for support.

You were put on the EFMP or you have a dependent that's on the list?

The answer depends on what you fall under, and what it is that's the case. If you want, PM me. I have experience with the mental health side of medical. Don't send me anything that would violate privacy laws.

The AF sent me a form once a year to update my address, and the only time I got contacted for a muster was when they were about to start up a new reserve maintenance squadron at the nearby base. Instead of targeting maintainers, they just mustered anyone IRR in the area. So I made a couple hundred bucks to sit through a powerpoint slideshow and listen to an O-6 and E-9 talk about how great this new F-35 unit will be.

I kept my address up to date and once had to do a CBT over the internet on human trafficking. When I finished it, I got a certificate to print out that stated

STS2/SS hogmartin HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED TRAINING IN:
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED TRAINING

I printed it out and stuck it to the refrigerator with a magnet. That was the entirety of my IRR interaction, no muster or physical or anything. That was ten years ago though.

This may apply to between zero and one of you, but just in case.. If you're a 3910 who has taken and passed your GPC assessment(s) (Fundamentals or IA-II) and don't have your hardcopy certificate or pin (not suitable for uniform wear) yet shoot me a PM or email gpc@nmic.navy.mil. I'll either mail them to your command (or personal address if you have deuced out since taking it) or we can make other arrangements.

If you're a 3910 and none of that made sense check http://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/search/CERT_GPC6155.htm. The email address on that entry is garbo so send any questions to gpc@nmic.navy.mil instead.

AAR: TAP Class is a colossal waste of time if you have even half a brain

-- 90% of the poo poo they cover is available on the internet through the VA/DOL website and have you heard of GOOGLE
-- You will always have a handful of idiots who think they know better, who are loud, and who ask dumb questions, so that when you're sitting there in TAP class listening to some shitbrains instructor who retired as an E6 who needs that poo poo Fleet and Family Services job to keep maintaining their crappy lifestyle they will keep interrupting you

Forrealz I thought I was going to get a week out of work but after day 1 I realized that I'd rather be routing CASREPs and sucking dick on the ship than sit through this slow and methodical lobotomy.

At my table sat not one, not two, but three obese "WHERE MY BENEFITS AT?" land whales who hadn't done anything for the Navy on LIMDU. Seriously gently caress this gay earth.

During TAP, I had a back spasm, totally unable to change posture. So I went back to the ship to see medical and that was a better use of my time than anything else the whole week.
