One time we went for a whole month without flour. Flour you say? You mean that stuff you need for almost all baking? Why yes! Luckily we had absurd quantities of two life saving ingredients: canned cornbread mix and honey. We made very clear that our four cooks ability to make acceptable cornbread was the kinda important, and surprisingly they rose to the challenge. We had good cornbread, and warm cornbread and honey is delicious, this was good for the first two weeks. Then someone had the bright idea to mix it up, they tried making jalapeno cornbread and other nefarious concoctions. Those didn't work well.

What do you want to do? General useless business skills applications of a Ltcmdr? Technical stuff? Random job I heard today was for a media company thats hiring, http://www.atlasobscura.com/about-us, they literally said just click the "Work with us" link at the bottom. Getting a job is easy.

Well I'm going to give some effective but potentially bad behavior enabling advise. Personal experience participating but never needing the service because I'm not an idiot in the first place and Most of the guys in my department quietly hired a good lawyer on retainer and pooled a huge chuck of cash that was deposited with a bail bondsman. On the rare occasion someone did do something stupid (not just a dui, which happened twice in 2 years) the command was never notified of the full extent. They called the bondsman. Got out. Lawyers up, and had he charges reduced or dismissed. Then at the end if the case did get settled to a misdemeanor or something that you had to tell the command the command was smart enough to not press for details outside of the final settlement. If the guy got masted it was for the minor charge and not something career killing. Granted having the number of a lawyer and bondsman in your wallet is just good insurance if you can afford it anyway.

Never having transited Yokosuka personally can anyone confirm that 50 miles south is out of the area where you've got narrow channels to worry about, but may still have a maneuvering watch stationed due to level of traffic. On a map it looks like the area in question is IVO that little horn

Story time! (E; Not a noble story) We get back from underway on a Sunday morning. Monday morning I come in two hours late and a new chief makes me breathalize. Luckily I biked 14 miles to work every day, because I blew a 0.18. XO pulls me aside for 'disciplining' and asks why I was showing up to work drunk. (Note 2, I didn't wake up feeling drunk in the least, a separate issue) I explain how I went out for dinner and midway through eating my roommate (a bartender) tells me welcome back but that they're working a double shift and won't see me tonight. I decide to go stop in rather than turn in and her and the rest of the bartenders all treat me to a lot of free Jameson. I leave and fall asleep at midnight. I know this because she got out at midnight and took a picture of me asleep on the floor next to my bed at like 1210. My XO says drat and then we get into a discussion about the merits of different whiskeys and the virtue of having friends in the service industry who give you free stuff. He asks if I'm ever going to do that on a work night again, I say no. They do a halfmast for me and give me the book but tell me the sentence is commuted until I fuckup something else alcohol related and tell me to inform engineering department to stop drinking so much. 11 months later we get an excellent on ORSE and a NUC (by all accounts knocked down from a PUC recommendation that made it to pacflt before getting killed for a specific yet also hilarious reason) And that's how navy ownership work so well M_Gargantua fucked around with this message at 03:23 on Jun 29, 2017 |

But for anyone in the know getting an excellent on ORSE is the real impressive stunt. ~street cred~ We were like 50% alcoholics which may as well have been 50% of the success post deployment. Like I know there were real reasons but good luck getting a crew that fuckig amazing on a boat by sheer luck.
