You know, the one where they refused to pay out my flight home from Norfolk and my stipend due to it not being submited by NOSC correctly because it straddled two fiscal years? The one were I've been in contact with people left and right trying to get cleared up? DTS.txt

vulturesrow posted:I am currently experiencing what is easily the worst port call I've had in my almost 20 years. If you're ever told you are going to India, just go ahead and lower your expectations, especially if you are on a carrier (and thus have to anchor out). Our liberty boat sank in Brazil. Did India top that yet?

Virginia Slams posted:Anyone know if either pair of Marine corps hot or cold weather brown boots are authorized in type 3s with no ega? I have both pairs I was issued from a few years back and trying to be cheap They managed to sneak in a "Navy certified NWU boot" into this reg. It gets rid of the "but it meets the criteria" back door everyone uses for black boots. It's really only the Belleville this time. Technically only the steel toe unless the CO authorizes the non steel toe. Although there is a PDF floating around with the Rocky boots. Not sure how true that is. (And yes, it's all about whether people care enough to bitch. Knowing that most chiefs exist only to enforce uniform standards and collect paychecks, I'd bet on getting called out)

Boxer still had some ancient UYK 20 (or 43, don't remember) in a room off combat in 2008. Not sure if it was even still in use, but that was a lot of dead weight to carry around if it wasn't.

buttplug posted:The instruction basically says "any dessert tan" boots. That being said, Rocky S2Vs are *very* good. I've had two pairs of them, and both of them are extremely comfortable from day 1 and require very little breaking in. Currently in a pair of them now, actually. Can't speak for the Bellevilles. The recent one I read actually specified "Navy approved" which limits choices a bit. The pass down we got was Belleville or S2Vs.

buttplug posted:Always question "pass down". poo poo like that is probably why FTZ got nailed. Yeah, the Navy Certified line. That means it's not "any desert tan boots". It gets rid of the old 9 inch black leather steel toe loop hole. Now there will be some stupid enumerated list, whether local or Navy wide. And I'd rather not buy 200 dollar boots again.

LingcodKilla posted:gently caress so if you have to wear black boots you are still stuck with only steel toe. Ping your chain to see if they can work on the CO to authorize the sneakers. Ours realized we all work in an office (except for the deployers, who need steel toe) and gave the go ahead to switch to coyote brown with no steel toe I'm at a NIOC and we've had two not stupid COs in a row. Really fighting the odds now.

vulturesrow posted:Regarding the whole protected sleep thing: There are ships that have made it work. It can be done. Those who have made it work speak positively of it. Its interesting to see how much resistance immediately springs up when something new is proposed, even if it is something that might help, you know, not loving crash ships into other ships. Because it really takes being able to say "No, we can't do that right now" instead of "Yes Sir" while gargling their balls. It also needs to respected by the highers, instead of having them flip poo poo. This happens at all levels from DH on down. Its a culture shift and those are hard. Sometimes tasks need to be prioritized and shifted around while expectations get managed.

I used to work 0000-1100 and sleep during the afternoon The sheer amount of poo poo we had to go through to justify sleeping during the day was unbelievable. We worked 1800-0600 (really 0900 after the morning brief) Chiefs would still routinely roll through berthing and yell at us for being asleep during some retarded cleaning stations.

Lots of anonymous cartoons of Fat Leonard are popping up around the ship which is kind of funny but getting screwed out of a liberty port sucks. Sounds like someone else is skimming off the top. They are just too stupid to make it seem plausible. Port services cost breakdowns were my favorite message traffic to read. Edit: especially when the stuff provided is super subpar
