LingcodKilla posted:There’s gotta be some WA law about strip clubs because I can’t believe there’s any around the bases out here. In WA they can’t touch you, like three foot rule, if alcohol is served. So they have places(or had) like Honeys that was dry(except for the parking lot) where it was a lap dance and private room kinda place. With $7 coca colas and ice teas. It was kinda gross there and had been the subject of many vice busts due to the de facto prostitution going on there. One of my old agencies got in the news by doing busts there but having actual sexual contact with the pro’s to establish PC for the arrests... lol. It was actually owned by a mob guy(now dead) and finally got shut down years ago. All the girls moved over to being bikini baristas and a few years back there was a big hub bub in everett and around there when it turned out girls were turning tricks at the coffee shacks(or in their storage sheds. Yup. There was a real lovely one by Bremerton in the early 2000s too. Don’t recall the name. The Dutch mafia keeps them off Whidbey by not issuing business licenses. I always though a go-go bar would do almost as well near the base; beer only, bar food, waitresses in daisy dukes and bikini tops but nothing yet.

LingcodKilla posted:That’s terrible. Why does this state hate freedom so much? In 1987 there was an outbreak of antibiotic resistant pink-eye in Seattle and Tacoma. It was determined by the state health department that 90% of the cases were from three Seattle and Tacoma strip clubs and the maneuver known in strip-club vernacular as the “Booty-Slap” when done close to or against a face. The governor at the time, Booth Gardner declared a state of emergency and for a year the 3-foot rule was enacted; later, to prevent its lapse the legislature sent a bill up and Gardner signed it.

Additionally most(or many at least) of the ti-tay bars in the area were owned by Frank Colacurcio Sr. who was the organized crime guy. He was a pretty gnarly dude and was big in pimpin for a long time... apparently his nephew wrote a book at some point too. When the Feds finally got him his empire shut down for the most part or changed hands.

Kawasaki Nun posted:Yeah and people constantly bitch about the work done by the "other crew" (gold crew) because they're a bunch of lazy fuckwits! They’d actually be better served with A/B/C/D crews for hull swaps or whatever. A/B start A is relieved by C a month later or so B gets relieved by D So B is there for turnover purposes originally, kinda like staggered shifts for emergency services jobs. And repeat... Of course what would happen is one crew would be short due to reasons and some poor souls would get hosed y being held over...

When I was active, and enlisted, I just got my own non-govt passport; I didn’t want to have something that said “hey I’m traveling in an official capacity” Also, how the gently caress do you become an officer and then go all the way through flight school without ever having a passport? I mean it’s not necessary to do either but whatever.

Also, one other thing is my new squadron is already deployed so any back and forth communication has a bit of a delay. Oh; I wonder why they’d want you to have a govt too? Seems redundant.

I always thought the anchors meant that they would hinder any movement, and the song “anchors aweigh” was a secret dig at the chiefs in that in order to “get underway” and accomplish anything the arresting effect of the anchors must be overcome.

What’s super-funny is witnessing any part of their “initiation” (hazing) where they; Bury their old uniforms in a mock graveyard - Fill sandbags and stack them then un-stack them - Do PT a bunch - the chiefs “running” the “initiation” park RV’s near the site of this as its all so exhausting for them so they need a break area apparently - oh, and making the initiates do thing like pick them up breakfast to go from diners (that are like 30 miles away). And at the end, they all cry and hug each other and congratulate each other in a way not all that unlike the weirdness of the old Navy Battle Stations evolution at RTC. “yay, we did a bunch of easy, mediocre things but sleep dep makes it all seem so emotional and important!” And to top it all off its strictly voluntary, but to my understanding if you skip the initiation you aren’t considered a real chief and you’ll never go past E-7... Like some secret blacklist IDK.

https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/08/07/dog-poop-booze-and-a-slap-alleged-cpo-initiation-hazing-under-investigation/ Lol... “All chief petty officer initiation activities are suspended at Afloat Training Group Pacific Northwest while investigators probe whether selectees were forced to do push-ups in a base housing backyard possibly strewn with dog feces, according to an incident report provided to Navy Times. Labeled “CPO SEASON INCIDENT,” the report indicates that the alleged hazing occurred around 8 p.m. Sunday at a residence in Lake Stevens, Washington, about 10 miles east of Naval Station Everett. No names are listed in the report, but the suspected offender is described as a male 38-year-old chief petty officer and one of his alleged victims is a male petty officer first class who is three years younger. According to the incident report, four chief selectees were at the chief’s residence when he directed them into push-up positions “where dog feces may have been present.” The chief also allegedly slapped one of the selectees. In the block for alcohol/drugs, the form reads “YES.”

Jimmy4400nav posted:NASWI turned into the site of a lot of impromptu bumper cars today as people ended up inadvertantly Tokyo drifting their way out of base due to snow. When I was there they were (in)famous for closing the base (late)and sending everyone home, at the same time, 30 minutes after 3/4 of personnel had already arrived... leading to a mass exodus at the same time of ppl who now wanted to go enjoy their snow day, and like 20+ cars in ditches, 15 rear-endings, and a few fence or gate strikes. In 2003 when I was working security there, the way they’d see if Langley was safe to drive was send an idiot(me) in the fully coded-s10 rear wheel drive up and down it. Going sideways downhill at 15 mph is always a laugh riot.

The careers were over of several of the officers on board, they were told “start looking for a new job” kinda thing. Basically they should’ve called for SAR, ditched the plane in the ocean rather than hand it over to the Chinese, utilized the extensive water survival training aircrews got, etc.
