I felt weird like I was missing ship's movement or something all the time for the first year or so after I got out. It takes time to readjust just take it easy.

Thronde posted:Sweet. I'm at Group doing what has to be the biggest waste of time and money ever for my unit regarding schools, just to get my crew serve quals. But honestly, I never wanted to be stationed in VA, but I kinda dig the area and I could potentially go NSW support here next. I'll need some good eats to destress from the dumb as gently caress MAs finally feeling like their rate isn't redundant, because hey guys lets spend another hour and a half going over what we spent 8 hours going over in the class. After hours. Leaping Lizard is really good, down on Shore Dr. Ole for good tex-mex nearby.

Jimmy4400nav posted:I know I'm still new, but the Coast Guard ODU seem pretty useful for being practical and looking okay. Could the Navy have just added a cuff or a crease or something to make it "navy unique" and have just used that rather than going to type 3's? Since the Coast Guard already uses them wouldn't the logistics have been simpler and streamlined? I've never worn them but I've always thought thought CG ODU looked like a perfectly good working uniform. Blue camouflage is still peak BIG NAVY in my mind. Why on earth would a sailor need blue camo? If we don't need it, why the gently caress are we wearing it!?!

Ron Jeremy posted:Are they going to reopen that berthing when it's fixed or would they change it for a different purpose. Would be creepy to be assigned to the berthing where all those dudes died. Guaranteed it ends up being a berthing again, there just isn't 'extra' space on a DDG where you could move it to. No doubt there will be a memorial installed as well, similar to USS Cole.

The old timers in my office keep saying the reason the Fitz and the McCain collisions happened is because the COs don't yell at the OODs like they used to in the old days  . I snapped today and said you fuckers haven't been on a ship in 3 decades, what the gently caress do you know?

I still work on ships every day and go underway 3-4 times a year so FUUUUCK YOU. I'm mostly just angry we have sailors dying in stupid loving incidents like this.

ManMythLegend posted:They don't get awards. However, what I have done in the past is sent out BZ messages if their employer is on a distro. I know it sounds cheesy, but apparently some companies track them and they contribute to the contractor getting raises or PTO. If it's a company that doesn't get message traffic I've instead signed out LoA's on letterhead to do the same thing. This for sure. The organization he works for is probably ISO 9001 compliant or something similar and will track positive feedback from government customers and will count towards good things internally to the organization. That is of course, taking the huge leap of faith that anyone in his company is competent at all. It can't hurt to try.

LF, AECF is a good program if you're actually set on enlisting. I was AECF and got designated ET at boot camp, ETs have a great standard of living while at sea and about middle of the road standard of living when in port. I was an ET for 6 years and loved my job, but hated being in the Navy. If you're computer savvy or want to be, go IT and get as many certifications as you can while you're in. If you get your CCNA/CCNP and a TS clearance you can get really good jobs after 4-8 years active duty. If you're into DnD, anime, or furries I recommend STG.

Right??? e: If I was gonna troll the Navy thread I'd ask about the nuke program and tell people I'd already volunteered for subs then say that I'm a stubborn dumbass who doesn't listen to advice. Actually, he sounds like a perfect fit for the Navy

Cerekk posted:We just need to build a bunch of small cheap ships really fast. They can be low quality since they'll be cheap and expendable and easily replaceable. Maybe they can specialize in littoral combat since that's a weakness of our blue navy fleet. As long as the procurement process works the way it's supposed to and people don't start tacking on tons of expensive features it should work great. Fortunately, the DoD always gets procurement right and congress never fucks with it so this will be an easy win.

Yeah, I think with some really good people you get, a pretty good organization. Problem is most of the fuckheads who stayed in long enough to get E-7 are not what qualify as "pretty good people". I think the way the culture and the tradition of the "chief" is built in the modern navy hurts more than it helps.
