If you wouldn’t mind- could you share with us what happened? I sat on a court martial jury once, and was a witness in 2 other unrelated courts martial. Did you beat the charges? Use a private attorney? JAG? I’m not looking to judge or anything man, I just get fascinated by the legal side of military things sometimes just because of a few unique experiences I had. Anyway, thanks!

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. I know this isn’t universal, but it’s a pretty common thread.

I got it from a FB group which has nothing to do with the military at all, just entitled mothered- which is hella toxic, but also not nearly clever enough to really make this kinda effort up. It’s mostly sharing of screen caps of poo poo like the above. I’m inclined to believe it’s real. I met some really loving weird spouses in the early parts of my career in Intelligence. Swingers and Furries were the tame ones. Tripolar dependopotomi still haunt my dreams.

I decided to boost spirits and morale by bringing a bag of candy and another bag full of Bang energy drinks, which I thought were okay since we stocked them in our deployment geedunk. The crew were stoked, flight doc the next day was not... I memorized a lot of acronyms but CNAF is escaping me, and Duck Duck Go isn’t helping. Could you tell me what CNAF is and why energy drinks are a no go for (F-18?) aircrew?

It’s hilarious to me that they’ll give an O-3 and an O-2 a B-2 loaded with nukes in the Air Force. Or the Minuteman for that matter. I always felt like Junior USN officers had more responsibility over people than 99% of USAF officers. You can do 20 in the USAF and never directly supervise an enlisted person or write an eval on them or anything. I don’t think you can be (and I’m sure I’m wrong here) a JO on a ship without at least a small number of Enlisted directly under you. And yet, the enlisted/officer relationship in the USN seems fuuuuuucked from the outside. Might not be, just the observation of an old Zoomie.

Grover was a GS-14, which technically I guess is O-5 equivalent if GS-15’s are O-6 equivalent and SES is GO/FO.. and as far as I remember things.. yeah, that’s the equivalency’s. On a personal level- outside the forums and our need to be edgelords or O-5 Equivalent’s, he was a nice guy. He was an awful mod, and a supremely unfunny poster. But on an individual human level he was a good dude. You’d never know it if you didn’t take a little bit of time to get to know the dude. And literally nobody wanted to after most of his initial encounters with people  .

maffew buildings posted:no, different broken brain seabee chief Eh, this guy was younger than me in School. He’s a Master Chief now, we used to call him Timbo. No idea how he was as a chief or anything, but as a person he was a genuine and kind hearted guy. His wife is my cousin. Was just trying to see if the Seabees had sucked all humanity and empathy from him like I see written about here so often. My gut tells me he stayed a good guy. My heart reads the navy thread however. My gut just turns food into poo poo.

Fred Dawes posted:I got selected for first class my 6th and final year active duty The reserves are going pretty good for Crab Dad. You’d still be in the military, however. And TRICare really only beats the VA if 2 conditions are met: 1- You have dependents 2- Your VA Is particularly bad. I retired and I have dependents, so TRICare makes sense for me- plus no added service obligation in the reserves for broke dick fat rear end retirees. But if I lived alone and/or somewhere with a decent VA I’d jump on that poo poo. My dad is a retired O and he just uses the VA, because where he’s at they’re far and away the best game in town, and happen to be free! Since you served during GWOT don’t you get a like an extra decade of no income adjusted free medical care from the VA? I think you get that for life after a certain C&P rating with the VA but don’t quote me on that.

The USAF is weird in that we kind of have a hybrid of OS and IS rates in our 1N0X1 Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC = Rate essentially) It’s Operations Intelligence. Depending on assignment you end up doing some percentage of operations or support instead of intelligence work. I mean nominally your still the Intel guy, but if you are trained and qualified there’s a lot of operations jobs for you. You can fly, you can jump outta planes, you can brief 4 stars a weekly intelligence brief, and you can literally be a nuclear targeteer at STRATCOM who lives in a completely classified and unknown location underground that’s very likely to survive a nuclear attack. It’s literally one of the best jobs I ever had. I know you navy guys have loving seriously cool rear end jobs- I just like trying to get young folks to not join the navy (good) and instead join the USAF (bad) and go 1N0X1 (worse). Smegma Pie!

Hekk posted:lol there are no more kids reading SA anymore. The bulk of us are late 30s to mid 40s now. There are 1.7 billion Chinese, and I feel like if you aren’t 100% P&T from the DOD and VA like me you are at risk of getting sent to fight a land war in Asia. Let’s all stop and reflect on what war with China would really be like. … … … … Yeah that’s gonna be a no from me, dog. Do you know how many Chinese on average a soldier or marine are gonna have to kill in order for us to decimate the PLA? And decimation? That’s nothing for them. Nothing. 1 in 10? poo poo you probably are only making them stronger killing off their weakest links in the decimation if you managed to pull one off. I don’t know how many bullets we have or make, but I can guarangoddamnedtee it’s just not enough for an Asian land war. Also, if we got every commonwealth nation and English speaking Ally to join in on Operation JADE RAILROAD, it would be a statistically insignificant addition to our force except for our good friends the Aussies. They’ll be a statistically significant ally for any number of reasons most of them involving their ships and submarines and proximity (relative to the U.S) to the PRC and Taiwan. You never want to fight a land war in Asia, ask your uncle who’s not invited to thanksgiving anymore and uses slurs for Vietnamese people, if we should fight a land war in Asia. And you know what? Despite voting for trump twice, and being MAGA incarnate he’s gonna tell you no you don’t want to fight a land war in Asia. The next 2-5 years is gonna be a REALLY good time to get your Coast Guard contract and do your time in the USCG. loving trust me. I’m nuts, stoned, and stupid, but trust me: You want to be a Coast Guard vet when the balloon goes up, Or retired w/ 100% P&T. You don’t want to be a vet or the DoD branches- except maybe space force if you are smart/dumb enough to be one of them. I know you retired Hekk, but maybe some teen will find this place. Night folks!

He's younger than me by like 3 years. loving sucks, he was going to make Master Chief no question. A super solid dude. Was one of the least Joe Navy people you'd ever meet, and while Philipino, was vehemently anti-Mafia. I’m sorry to hear that, man. Jesus that’s awful. If you get a chance, make sure to let him, and the ones who are going to miss him the most know just how great a man he is/was. It will mean the world to everyone even if it might seem awkward up front. Just trust me man.
