If you request the IRR transfer because your life doesn't let you do the reserves anymore that's totally explainable. It depends on your leadership I guess. I have yet to witness my chain say no, but pers has a couple times. Basically they've hosed up reserve manning over the last year and don't want to let anyone leave. Nobody will fault you for just not participating once you've done the legwork to get out. Well some hooyah joker will but who cares. Edit about mobilization deferral: If you try to get out of a mob unsuccessfully you don't get adsep'd, you get placed in the IRR in S2 status.

Well you're going to be super annoyed when you hear that once they put your BCA in PRIMS it blanks out the rest and they can't even enter your score. That is some P3 community sounding nonsense right there. Aren't you winged already? Edit: yes it's a small thing, but the Navy fails at retention because of hundreds of little stupid things like this. Death by a thousand bullshit administrative cuts. Also good luck getting your pay right when you move, and no you can't use your gtcc to cover the expenses you're incurring during your pcs like every other service because reasons. Oh you needed an advance? It's too late now, you're just going to have to figure something out until your new unit and PSD unfuck your travel claim in 60-90 days.

LingcodKilla posted:The math was finally done on my orders that hosed me for 4K at the end. It was them getting back the 25% they took off the housing allowance after a certain amount of days. I of course at the time had no idea I was supposed to tell the navy lodge to reduce my hotel room cost or go find new cheaper nongovernmental lodging. If you were in govt lodging they are required to reimburse you for that, not the 75% rule. Of course the jtr doesn't have the flat rate language anymore, but this definitely applied: 2. When staying in government lodging, a traveler will be reimbursed for actual lodging costs. The flat rate per diem does not apply when government lodging or contracted government lodging is available and directed, when contracted government lodging is provided at no cost, or if a traveler chooses to stay in government quarters.

Long term per diem rates ended 13 Aug 2018. For whoever asked: you have been able to refuse the credit check for years, the only thing that happens is you get the restricted card vs the normal one.

So do we want a wellness test (what we have) or a functional/combat fitness test (which covers a lot of needs for the Navy)? Or leave the latter up to the judgement of leadership in individual communities/rates?

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:He uh, he med retired as an E-5 or E-6 and is below 60% VA disability rating with those numbers. Everybody gets hung up on the R-word, but it's really the independence part that matters. You have a basic income, cheap, fairly comprehensive health insurance, and a (I'm assuming) debt free college experience. That's a huge dollop of freedom/independence from wage labor that most people will never see. (It's deserved, and you definitely earned it. All I'm trying to say that in one of the most prosperous nations in history, you shouldn't have to break yourself in the military to deserve a living income and health care. )

You are 100% allowed to book whatever is required then do what the gently caress ever you want and you can get reimbursed up to the cost of what was approved. If you can get a hotel below the perdiem rate you can do it yourself, just book whatever gets you through the process then call the hotel and cancel with them directly.

ManMythLegend posted:lol if your command has a boot color policy. Last CO didn't give a gently caress. Went with the Army policy of 'doesn't hurt your feet and is coyote brown or black 8" boot' and he was cool. He also wore Nikes and I wear Merrells. New CO also doesn't care. New CMC though? He is loving mad that people have different boots. For once as XO I get to be the good guy and tell him to calm down. (The previous CMC completed the Triad boot rodeo and rocked his desert tan Belleville flight boots)

vulturesrow posted:Whoa you're an XO now dude? Yeah I volunteered to replace the guy who left for command because I couldn't deal with another terrible boss for my last year in. Been doing it for over a year. My wife is ready for me to be done. She hates me trying to be everybody's dad all the time. I will miss all of my sailors. They've really made this a great command, especially with the covid nonsense. The CMC was adamant at first that E6 and below couldn't telework but guess what: no disciplinary issues, nobody getting fat without group PT, and our little part of the Navy's work keeps getting done. It's incredible what happens when you have a CO that really delegates authority to the lowest possible level, a chief's mess that really trains and mentors and sailors who feel like they're heard and contributing. In a loving shore command where you are expecting all the limdu and legal garbage to wash up. I start terminal leave Friday afternoon, retirement in a couple months. I'll miss this command but gently caress the navy.

Unfortunately it sounds like you're in a hospital or clinic in which case good luck because medical people are not good at playing naval officer most of the time. There's been a lot of good advice here. How hard have you tried, truly, to try to get this lpo to treat you like a person? Multiple unrouted request chits should be enough to get at least the division/dh level involved.

TidePods4Lunch posted:I don’t have the write up unfortunately. Long story short, the tail rotor had been rigged wrong and no one from maintenance to the FCF pilots caught it. While coming into a hover over the back of a DDG to practice fast roping, the helo entered an uncommanded yaw that couldn’t be countered by the pedals. The bird rotated something like 540 degrees before she managed to fly it away without hitting the DDG. I never saw the FLIR video from the other helo but apparently it was nuts. I had one emergency close-in to the carrier like this: fuel valve failed open, engine shut down with a max trap load (flying ordnance aboard) and I thought I would snag an inflight engagement for sure. I remember every word, and every action of that day. Crazy part is from the error to when I arrested my descent rate in my brain was at least half a minute it took less than two seconds to go to full ab on the tapes. To arrest a spin like that, loving amazing. I genuinely miss being part of the active aviation community now that I'm out but goddamn I don't miss the loss. I'm at the point where I hope I'm so old I don't recognize the names anymore, but it's crushing to think of the community and families.

Jimmy4400nav posted:Using a non-urinal toilet with a one piece flight suit can definitely be a pain, since we have a enough room to move around in the P-8, I know quite a few people who just take their suit off and take care of business. Some guys have started using 2 piece flight suits, which definitely help there, but the cuts so far on the 2-peices are a little too loose, so even the guys who are in good shape who use them look like they're wearing a maternity blouse. Every woman I know in the Hornet community got their flight suits tailored. They always look like poo poo at issue because they're only designed for men. Even after half a century (at least) of women flying in the Navy. Like TVS said about having to disrobe every time you go to the bathroom, just another unacknowledged tax on being a woman in the Navy.
