maffew buildings posted:Always loved listening to first classes and chiefs bitch about millenials while failing to realize they were talking about zoomers and also they themselves are millenials It’s like 1980 was the first year of millennials iirc, but I know a quick Google search can verify that, so yeah. Having that first group of millennials in charge is funny blaming themselves. Also considering the changes they’re always talking about that they hate and blame on millennials is being changed by their fellow chief and higher ranking officer millennial peers but let’s blame the bumfuck E3 who is totally to blame why hazing isn’t a thing anymore.

I like Norfolk enough to stay here rather then go back to Tennessee when I got out. When my daughter graduates from the CDC and goes to school I’ll be moving down to Chesapeake because I love it down there.

Elendil004 posted:So we'd been at sea for 28 days. Which for us, a 270` Medium Endurance Cutter was a long time. We're steaming with the Kearsarge battle group and doing wargames and stuff (during which we sunk (simulated) a (real) Submarine with our 76mm gun which was fun). The wargames are their own set of stories. This is one of the greatest sea story I have ever heard. Thank you. My BDubs in downtown Norfolk the night before my first underway wasn’t too noteworthy. Just got drunk there and lost my buddy, who was apparently sitting right next to me, so I naturally go outside to look for him and pass out next to the bench at the little trolly island. Then busted my chin in the berthing on a knee knocked hard enough that my entire division was around me trying to figure out how to make sure I wasn’t about to get a ARI. So they drag an HM out of their rack and bring them to my berthing and he stitches me up on the couch. Luckily I was drunk enough that I couldn’t feel poo poo. Woke up to like fifty bloody rags on my pillow. Luckily ABEs don’t do poo poo for pulling out so I got to chill while suffering in the shop with a rag pressed against my chin. Still have a great scar.

Knee could have been fixed if Navy medical just OK’d a trip to Portsmouth for an MRI but instead insisted I just had a sprain… for two years.  Anyway, yoga and stretching each day and it’s fine with a good ol’ paycheck.

They're being told everything is backed up and it won't impact getting benefits but that sounds like a lie. I needed it for my disability application but that’s about it. I know some states require it to put Veteran on your license but other than that I can’t think of anything else I’ve used it for.

The only reason I would say come to Norfolk is if you ride a motorcycle. We have the greatest community out here but that’s not loving worth it so just go to DC.

Crab Dad posted:So I didn’t do much this year for my eval besides dubious ATs to fleet week and Germany so I was a little worried about my last eval before I’m up for board the first time. However my unit gave me a LoA for some technical work on a printer and the nmci network I did this past weekend and now I’m feeling pretty good about my chances. The way your career has been I don’t think you need to worry about anything… ever.

At which point he will be hit for taxes as if that sudden onetime payout had been his yearly income during the whole period. I still got paid on the 1st and 15th every month for the year I was waiting for my trial. He’s getting paid. I just hope he gets more.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Woah, you had to go through a loving court martial? Was accused with two charges of assault. Sat in the brig for almost 13 months waiting for trial, mostly due to COVID loving up my first trial date, and took a misdemeanor plea deal for one and went to trial and was found not guilty of my second charge. My dad works for a law firm so the partners in that firm actually spoke and worked with my lawyers to come up with a plan but my dad’s firm believed my JAGs were actually competent so we let them defend me which turned out well. Basically just tried to visualize myself on deployment and enjoyed my big chunk of cash I saved up when I got out the brig and out the Navy when I hit my EAOS a few weeks later.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:Whatever faults our UCMJ system may have, you are in good hands as junior enlisted going to a bench trial. The prosecution had no loving case, but you don’t need a unanimous military panel, and that’s easy to get with the idiots you get in the military. Judges? Not so much. Yeah my JAGs straight up told me they really have no case and going Judge only was the way to go but a panel of chiefs and officers usually have the mindset of, "if they're accused they're guilty". Thank god I actually listen to good advice.

orange juche posted:Yeah I mean no they won't pay him poo poo, especially since the navy is pissed at him for him beating their charges. His best bet is to gently caress off away from the navy and never look back. My CMC said after I got back to my command after beating my charges that he would follow my transfers everywhere and make sure my every new command knew about me, even after he's retired. He was still somehow surprised when I told him I was getting out.

Elviscat posted:Your (former?) Command sucks so loving bad it's infamous among submarine nukes, who usually don't give a poo poo about anything surface related. Oh wow, I’m glad it’s getting attention. Also yes, former. I got out two years ago.  I didn’t even realize I was drat near suicidal myself until I realized what life was like outside that command.Like I’m a very happy and upbeat person and I had to reflect on the fact that wishing someone would hit my on my motorcycle on my way to work every morning was seriously hosed up. My daughter is the only reason I made it through five years on that boat. Life is good now. FTN and specifically gently caress the GW.

I remember moving water tight hatches off the ship (carrier) in 95+ degrees and our chief told us to deblouse while we’re working so we do and we got stopped by every single chief as we have these 70 pound doors in our hands from hanger bay 3 to hangar bay 1 and my first response was always, “it’s loving hot chief” and it just kept going until I said, “our chief told us to” then they’d finally leave us the gently caress alone.
