LMAO retention problems. They didn't want me back, said my knees were too hosed from prior service, I am glad of this, as I have a much better schedule and stress level now that I am out. I didn't fail the stupid physical checks at MEPS, but when I went to do the thing where you are on your knees and have to smoothly transition into a standing pose, my knees apparently "sounded someone had put Rice Krispies in them" and the doc wouldn't OK me. Thank you anonymous MEPS doc, you saved me from making a bad decision for the second time

I can't even remember great lakes except for one sole experience, wherein I realized I was in a frozen hell. The weather went from almost 70 degrees one day to <10 the next, and about 6 feet of lake effect snow fell overnight. Seriously though dude, are you like a boot washout or something?

Calus posted:I was going to ET school when they were going to merge it with IC so I had to do both A schools. I got kicked out of A school for some poo poo I did outside of class, but it was literally the last week. They crucified me and sent me undesignated to a carrier. That sucked for 2 years and then I went back to Great Lakes again to do FC school since it's the same loving thing as ET except the last month or so. That worked out and I was FC2 when I got out in 2012 Which carrier?

Seriously?) the next month. It absolutely is a thing, all of your uniforms are supposed to be inspection ready. poo poo I've had ive had inspections in coveralls when I was underway. Surface Navy sucks poo poo, I am glad I spent the last 3 years of my AD commitment ashore at an aviation command. At least we didn't have quarters more than once a week if that, and inspections only on uniform shift. orange juche fucked around with this message at 08:58 on Jan 19, 2017 |

LingcodKilla posted:Hey shipmates do us all a favor and don't slam the gat-damned doors. It's hell on the bushings and gasket! Suck it up I was DCPO of my division when I was AD for almost 3 years and I probably can still perform most of the maintenance on a WTD in my sleep. It was hilarious walking through the ship and being able to easily spot doors where people hadn't bothered to do the maintenance properly so there were gaps in the seals after they replaced them, and poo poo packed in the hinges. Also, lingcodkilla, knife edges are no joke, one of my friends lost all his fingers on both hands doing maintenance on a hatch over a trunk and the (not properly secured) hatch slammed shut, I think they may have been able to reattach some of them, maybe. Never have your hands just resting on a knife edge, because something can happen and they will gladly bite your fingers right off with no mercy. orange juche fucked around with this message at 10:05 on Jan 20, 2017 |

As far as why I didn't drop my programs on my reliefs, its because the chain didn't even identify who was replacing me until about 2 weeks ago.

Some days I miss the Navy, but then I realize I don't miss the Navy, I miss my ship and the friends I had on her. Hell, I hated the ship because everything was always broken but the people who were on her really made her what she was. When I was walking around the spaces after they inactivated her and moved everyone to barges and cut the power so they could start cutting things out, it felt weird and wrong, like the ship had lost her soul, because she had no crew anymore. Related: decommissioning a ship sucks, it's hard work, and it's really surprisingly emotional watching your ship slowly get cut into a bunch of pieces over months and hauled off until there's nothing left above the deck. Still really glad I'm out and would never volunteer again. orange juche fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Feb 22, 2017 |
