LingcodKilla posted:Hooray shoreleave in Athens! Apparently we need to ROM at sea for a few weeks before we can pull in anywhere else but still. Still waiting to see if they are going to extend my orders after I volunteered for another 6 months. Summer in Athens is pretty rough, make sure to hydrate and stay cool. Athens is neat for approximately 3 days and then is boring as hell

Seems like everyone is feeling on edge. Let's all take some time to pick our favorite line in the sailors creed and bring them back so we can all discuss what we LIKE about naval service in 2020?

Anita Dickinme posted:Anyone have any experience getting a discharge type upgraded through the VA or just know where to start with that? Coming up on six months since I got discharged and I wouldn’t mind getting my honorable. My understanding is that most veteran service organizations branches have people who handle these kind of requests. I'd call up some offices in larger cities close to you and ask around.

Louisiana hosed me out of my unemployment by letting a hurricane knock out the power for the phone reporting service and treating that as a lapse in my reporting. This was immediately following the completion of a 2 week lead-in period and a 2 week reporting period. They said I'd have to wait another month before getting another check. Rotten fucks.

Sometimes during our monthly SSMG clean and inspect, when we would get cycled twice with 6 hours of maintenance after watch in a row, I would shut my eyes with my arm deep in the machine and pass out for a moment or two. I'd also skip my after watch meal to sleep for 20 minutes in my rack prior to cleanup because of how tired I was.

titties posted:Probably, it's been a pretty long time but there must have been whistle blasts. They also blared taps throughout the entire base which is the part i remember more vividly Yeah as I was typing that response I realized I wasn't 100% sure about how colors worked in-port vs underway or whatever and realized that I had not participated in colors since I left prototype in like 2009 or so ( I think) We had an old CS1 who had a pedo-stach and likened every meal he made to sex or jizz or something else totally foul, but he would make pretty good breakfast quesadillas so he was alright.

Carlsbad is really cool - if you think you can manage it try and catch the bat show at sunset. You can also hike out of the caverns right before dusk, iirc, but I'm not sure how plausible that's gonna be with 2 kids and a dog. Definitely a very cool national park with some excellent tours

titties posted:Based on some of your responses I'm starting to wonder if my experience was unusual and most of you were not served fresh, made-from-scratch bread rolls with dinner every night while underway We had hot rolls every once and while but it's the kind of thing you'd get from a hotel buffet or something. Our real creature comfort was the soft serve machine with accompanying flavor requests. Root beer floats after watch was a nice treat I got to have 1.3 times a day, every day we were on deployment.

We had a bunch of senior 1sts who had returned to engineering from recruiter billets who got tagged with some disrespectful nicknames and who would get clowned on by competent e-4s and e-5s. They were mostly mechanics though. Our dmoothies had some dipshit sea returnee shitbag who whined enough to the chiefs mess that people had to stop openly disrespecting him while on watch

I did just over 100 days on a SSGN - that poo poo sucked terribly. By the end of that deployment I was eating PB+J and Raisin bran every meal because the poo poo they were serving in the galley was friggin nasty. I also managed to get ahold of the last of the ship's oatmeal and had to eat it in secret lest I go to mast.
