Crab Dad posted:Greece didn’t let us off the docks during 2020 when I was there so I have no idea what it’s really like but in Sicily, Rome and Naples we were a goddamn curiosity and some of the few Americans in the whole country out sight seeing. There's a difference between when a small boy or USNS, in your case, makes port versus a big deck amphib or carrier One of the good things about Souda Bay was the shawarma cart that was just on the pier

M_Gargantua posted:I'm lacking context. Obv not married to the captain, as that would be terrible frat. But her husband, presumably at a different command, got the captain of the IKE to pull a prank on her? The Captain has been doing this everyday for a period of time to have family/spouse/loved ones put in a request to have their junior Sailor to the bridge, give them a cookie, and have them sit in the CO chair. It is funny for this one as she responded exactly how most people would if being brought to the bridge

It took at least 5 years into my Navy service for friends and family to stop asking if I was excited for the Army Navy game. Why would I give a poo poo about the future terrible junior officers? Plus, I already had an alma mater to root for with Purdue

Question for brown shoe types, I swear I saw an E-2C takeoff from Dover AFB today. It had the dish but was small and making quicker (then again everything is smaller and quicker compared to C5s and C17s), what's up with that being up in Delaware?

Cerekk posted:I'm actually a line officer not a PS or whatever, I just have recent experience on the topic from spending the better part of 6 months attempting to push through a MSM as a retirement award for a 30 year master chief. That seems like it would be an easy lift but I guess not. They were giving those out instead of JCOMs if you stayed a whole year in Afghanistan. I already had postponed honeymoon plans booked so did not take them up on staying in the post-2016 election Kabul any longer than I had to

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Mr. Bad Guy, He made board to go up for advancement but won't find out until like mid to late summer. To translate, he was saying that he rocked the written portion of his advancement test even thought he felt totally unprepared but that his eval points were garbo. Going up for Chief it is just those two components to make board. For making E-4 to E-6, points for awards and education are also included
