LingcodKilla posted:I enjoy every minute of this really. Two CPOS got sent to me to borrow my line so they they tie themselves together in some bondage poo poo I think. I had to refresh their knot skills. In 2012 there was a wind storm in Everett that caused a ship under "pierside yard period" to part lines and almost hit the pier on opposite side of the harbor. My tug responded, and they had no extra mooring lines on the ship, or on station, so we "lent" them our spare, unused, brand-new $50k plasma lines that were set to replace our old towing lines to be used for said purpose. In the meantime they had to send for lines from Brem to be trucked around... When we got them back they were greasy and chafed as gently caress... Tidbit, the one line hanging off the stern stbd quarter was sent over by the fed fire guys who responded first... the ship had parted all of its lines, fortunately fire arrived and saved the day... also funny were the smoking, hands in pockets guys doing nothing on the ship while things going bad.

I worked port ops in Everett on an assist tug; we'd put docking pilots aboard ships coming in and the pilots would generally talk about how the CO's were often unwilling or incapable of putting their own ships alongside the pier, comfortably. With two tugs providing assistance. I can't imagine what level of ship handling one has to be a CO but not capable of a simple docking evolution. So how much experience do they have to pass down in regards to busy navigation areas and good nav practices? I have a 2nds license for what it's worth and spent most of my time sailing on dredges in pretty busy areas...

Stultus Maximus posted:Harbor pilots always dock warships and control the tugs, therefore no naval officer ever gets practice doing it alone. That seems crazy to me: I was on a ro-ro in 2010 dropping gear in Umm Qsar and we had two local pilots aboard, the river and docking. Neither did anything other than raid our cigarette stash and take coffee and plastic cups. The docking pilot started loving up badly so the Captain told the helmsman not to listen to the guy anymore and put us alongside. The local dock pilot seemed fine with this and just sat down and chilled. Just saying, with all the ports overseas a small boy can make, I'd want to know that I could take care of things if need be, as a captain. Maybe the Navy needs to start pulling MSC guys(like chief mate lvl plus) to come help do U/W OJT with the nav officers...

Two Finger posted:You're for real? Every merchant ship has people asleep during the day. I used to work 0000-1100 and sleep during the afternoon My last job sailing I worked a 6/6 schedule; 0000-0600, 1200-1800... the most sleep I could get was 5 hours in a period reasonably. I tried to get them to do an 8/4/4/8 that they did on one dredge I worked on-that was the tits; I'd sleep 7 hours on my long off time, lift and laundry on the 4 hours off. Even on the 8 hours on the captain would do a relief for either dinner or breakfast. The senior mate stood the 00-08 watch so the captain felt the more experienced guy was up there while he was racked out.

bengy81 posted:First deployment I went on the night baker made the mistake of making cinnamon rolls one night for the mid watch rotation. Turns out that the dept. heads really liked them, so they started demanding them every night. Was pretty nice since mid rats was usually inedible. Dude got tired of making the, though, so he started letting them proof with chopped up onions or something. They smelled great, but tasted like stale onions so the demand for them eventually went away. Merchant ship story; Wa on a ro-ro with loving terrible stewards and chief cook. They would put a tray of cold cuts in the fridge every night for the late watches. But they would not change out cold cuts, just add to them, therefore tray of rancid cold cuts sat in fridge for days and days. An AB took the tray one day and thru it overboard. The cook was pissed because he used his "nice" silver platter. I lost 20 lbs in under 90 days on that thing. First port that I had time to eat was in Morocco... I ate like I'd never eat again. Also, the cook would take spoiled milk and mix it with fresh milk in pitchers for the crew to use, to make it go further. No one used milk until we got restocked with ultrapasturized goat milk in Kuwait. I developed a complex lasting years that every time i went to a new boat I'd no poo poo bring like $500 bucks worth of cliff bars, meal replacement shakes, etc to make sure I wasn't gonna starve.

FWIW the recruiters and meps guys DID do a lot of paperwork and it would probably suck if they had to redo it; I had a friend who worked at MEPS and he said it was hard and he had to work late once. I think LogicalFallacy can rest assured that by honoring his contract as it stands Poseidon will provide relief to him in times of struggle and despair. If he steps away from a contract made with direct representatives of the God of The Sea then he nor any of his blood will ever be safe to set foot in or near the sea again.

You should make sure to by a really nice car/jeep/truck first, don't worry about the interest rate because you can get it knocked down to like 6% once your are on active, Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act... The $100K make it so you can get pretty much any car you want. Corvette? Top of the Line Lexus? How about a custom pickup with a lift kit and CB lights?

shovelbum posted:Just talked to a guy I know who is on a destroyer about the work hours, he told he about getting like three one hour naps per night and nothing else for months, with a crew of hundreds. As a merchant mariner it is just all super alien to me, you can run a thousand foot ultradeepwater drillship 24/7 such that everyone gets 12 hours of rest a day with half the crew I mean I know a destroyer is more complicated than a box full of boxes like I'm used to these days but gently caress man those schedules can't be good for not getting run over That would require other people to work more than a 6 or 8 hour day and no one on those good schedules is having that...

piL posted:I think the attraction to five and dimes rests in the shared motivation watch teams get to qualify additional watch standers and rotate them through secretly before the senior watch officer finds out, then pretend you didn't know any better. I did 6/6 last civil ship I worked on; dredging... One dredge I was on temporarily in ‘13 did 8/4/4/8... it was pretty awesome. Though I did the 8 hours off from 00-0800. Then I’d do a 08-12, off 12-16, and my long shift was 16-00, with the captain giving me a 30 minute chow break at 1730 ish... The guy opposite of me was on the 00-08 and that kinda sucked, but he got chow relief at 0600 or so. We only drilled on sundays tho’. Maybe they should bring CivMars on to drive from point A-B, with the mil folks for redundancy and training or whatever.

I spoke with an active E-6 the other day about a Chief who’s prolly going to Court Martial; I mentioned he’ll most likely get busted down and booted out(medical as his foot was pulverized). The E-6 trumped out that “it takes an act of Congress “ thing about busting chiefs... I told him he should google that.

Al Capwn posted:I'm a shore sailor and I was sent on a COMPUTEX and recently got back from a deployment. That experience was cool and all but definitely changed my mindset of the Navy. Before all that I was definitely going to reenlist. Now with having spent 9 months at sea while on shore duty I am most definitely going to get out. I have 6 months until my PRD, and I have 10 months until my EAOS. Since it was easy for my CMC to send me off like that, im worried that if I tell my plans to not reenlist he will send me TAD somewhere again and thus ruin potential plans I have set about leaving. If he tries to send me TAD again for whatever reason, is there a way to contest or fight it? Limdu baby, gotta get that va claim shored up. Non-deployable. All the cool kids are doing it these days.

Stultus Maximus posted:When I checked in for mobilization processing earlier this month, they said something along the lines of "welcome to all our reservists or as we call you, the Navy's expeditionary force." It’s good that they haven’t gotten any smarter than that when using reservists. In 2002-04 they were grabbing reservists from say MI and MN and sending them to the PNW to fill out security billets, regardless of rate. Then they were grabbing reservists from the PNW and sending them to Great Lakes and the east coast, to perform security billets. Or grabbing PNW guys and sending the to Diego for security posts, and when they got there they had nothing to use them for. But numbers matter, round peg, square hole or not.

That’s why its better when youre on a ship where the unloading equipment breaks down on the regular. Or at a dock with regular breakdowns. Can get 48 hours at SMET in Superior.
