Yeah Bremerton is where I would expect it to go. That's a weird place for an impact. Is there any info about what caused the damage? I woudl think that if they ran into the keel of a cargo ship or something there would have been a big ol news article. Can't think what else it would be other than maybe some kind of very robust underwater cabling or something?

bringing that much water with you in your rack is stupid. Gotta pack out the powdered energy drink mix they sell at wal-mart and monster shooters (which seem to be discontinued?) which you can mix up with some water and drink on watch. Tasted just like squeez-its

AlternateNu posted:No. We ended up putting the charging recommendations in what we sent up to the JAG, but after discussing the situation with them and the NCIS agent assigned for their investigation, they agreed that there wasn't enough information to prove culpable negligence. Also IIRC, that panel had been under constant maintenance for days by that point, and we didn't have the papertrail to definitively prove who left it open. Pretty sure the CO nuked the CHENG, ELECTRO, and division chief's next FITREPs, though. Lol you had an exposed main breaker for days and couldnt track down who was working on it last? Sounds like the whole ship should have been charged

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. Sorry to hear that - glad you were able to find some upside from such a terrible loving process.

Whoever approved and oversaw that operation is a slob and a liability. Why the gently caress are you bringing people onboard a ship using a crane? It's literally the stupidest loving way you could possibly conceive for getting people back aboard. Everyone should get an LOI and the OOD should be demoted to ship's gimp for the remainder of their time aboard.

Is this a word filter thing? I imagine a lot of veterans, particularly in the navy, experienced some kind of unwanted sexual contact during their time in service. Banning references or discussion of that factz even if its casual, doesn't really seem in line with the sex assault helpline info in the probie

M_Gargantua posted:No, its the "lol id rather be molested than do INSURV" bit Right - people regularly joke about " sodomy and the lash" and other dated naval phrases that likely refer to nonconsensual sexual contact between people aboard sailing vessels in earlier eras. These comments seem to be exactly in line with a phrase like Stultus used, so I'm trying to digure out exactly what the distinction is. Ultimately I think stultus was making a joke about sexual contact and not marginalizing the molestation of children. Seemed obvious to me but that may just be me.
