It's not warm (even with the liner), it's not waterproof/resistant, it's not wind proof, it's hard to clean and keep clean, and on top of all that it's uncomfortable.

I was told to stop exercising before watch and while in Port on duty days because of the perception it gave coners of fully qualified nuke watchstanders.

gently caress the Navy and especially senior enlisted.

Actually, let’s just ask The Valley Stared.

Statistically speaking, you had overweight sailors on the Fitz, and they had to have been part of saving the ship- what role would you say physical fitness played in the saving of the ship? Were there issues? Were any overweight sailors a limfac or straight up impediment to saving the ship? If you have the time or inclination could you speak to how you feel physical fitness is or isn’t important for DDG sailors?

I’d be very interested to hear your take, if you feel like joining the discussion.

We had plenty of people who were too out of shape to have been of any use moving an injured sailor out of a smoke filled compartment, especially if it would have been necessary to Don EABs as part of the process. The Navy fitness scheme sucks both at recognizing the physical needs for casualty response and at making time available to cultivate those requirements.

There were so many fat as poo poo submarine chiefs at A and Power school in the nuke pipeline it was kind of jarring.

It was always difficult to parse who in the command would say things wrong because they thought they were clever, and who was just repeating idioms Incorrectly.

The difficulty was self imposed because I gave people I didn't know the benefit of the doubt, but still it was difficult

Should just be steam. Wonder if they’re gonna add any extra doodads like their fake railgun they were trying to pretend they developed.

Are they deploying a nuclear aircraft carrier to their territorial waters or is it conventional?

Edit: doh, I see, it's likely conventional steam

Hey guys, you're supposed to be provided with a hard copy DD 214 upon separation, not just be emailed a copy, yeah? Is being told it will be emailed to me just another instance of my admin LPO telling me lies/is this stuff covered anywhere other than BUPERSINST 1900.8E? Just covering my bases, since I sent the admin all hands an email essentially saying the LPO is bad at his job.

I got a hard copy and they emailed the VA and I think the vso of my choice at my home of record a copy so there were multiple redundancies.for my freedom papers.

fair enough. I just recall being a high risk pregnancy and being told they didn't give appointments until mid second trimester, so here's some prenatal pills you could have bought over the counter. Have a nice day.

Being seated next to the periscope mast on a perfect night as we made the surface transit into Singapore is one of my few great memories of the navy. As is the swim call in the middle of the pacific by the equator, nothing in sight, nothing on radar, and 12,000 feet of water below you.

Thanks to swim call I only have 2 more seas left to hit all 7

My favorite part of the GI Bill was choosing a place off of a map where I wanted to live and moving there. Kinda wish I had gone out of the country but I'm pretty happy here in Colorado.

But, yeah. I have a sneaking suspicion this is going to turn a lot of apolitical sailors into anti-Trumpers. Sailors already don't trust Big Navy, and whatever flimsy excuse they use to justify this is going to go over like mixing at a COVID party.

Wow that would be nice, wouldn't it?

I've got members of my law school arguing that the problem with our response to the coronavirus is one of personal philosophy and responsibility and they're getting support from the wing so I'm pretty sure our country is stupid as gently caress.
