DTS has never failed me but it's always been a nightmare to deal with.

I almost forget I had to pay my gtc off and they are still auditing my c school.

They loving owe me 3k still.

All I used the card for was my room and flight.

I think the worst GTCC thing is with rental cars. I'm up on AT in the Seattle area now, and the rental car company told me "any tolls you incur will be billed to the card on file about 45 days after you return the car." So, worst case is that I liquidate my travel claim, split disbursement to the GTCC, get my 30-days-later CYA statement saying "0 balance" on it, and three months later be on the 90-day delinquent list for $8 in tolls.

Solution: don't go over any toll bridges, I guess.

Also, my GTCC expired at the beginning of the month and they sent it to my old address, even though I'd updated my address on Citi's website (in October, even). I got to play "guess the new expiry" on the phone with SATO on Friday before flying out on Saturday. Good times.

While we're bitching about DTS, we had a guy with funded tickets and hotel get CANXd from his AT because he didn't have a DTS profile. His orders got approved and everything, and he just called the SATO number on Friday and got everything set up. Pretty studious for an E3 about two months out of boot. He comes to Drill on Saturday (leaving for AT on Sunday) to have the rug pulled out from under him. I tried to reassure him that everything would be fine and he'd just do a paper travel claim once he got back, but it was not to be. Had to call his job and cancel his time off, everything. He's fairly pissed at the Navy now. I can't say I blame him much, either. The whole stick-in-rear end attitude about all of this and the complete unwillingness to perform the alternate procedure just because "it's more paperwork" really puts a bad taste in my mouth, and a bad shine on the Navy in the eyes of new sailors.

Where is the AT? I'm up in Port Orchard burning brush and drinking beers.

How much free time do you anticipate? Will you have a car?

They didnt give out cars this time because we are going as a unit so vans it is. My wife is flying in on next Thursday and staying until monday so I'll be uh.. busy on the weekend. I'll be staying at waikiki beach if you have time this Sunday, dont mind taking a taxi or bus. We dont officially report for duty until Monday morning. This is a new reserve unit to me so I have no idea how hard they are going to work us during the week. It's a watertight door, hatch and live preserver inspection unit so yeaaaaah.

I'd take you up on it but I'm not out there anymore. Just trying to think of fun stuff you might be able to do on your off-time. Do you hike?

Oh I came out last year by myself and did the drive around the island, random beach butt-peaking and body surfing, Arizona, aquarium and side of the road food stands. This time looks like I'll be forced to do whatever dumb stuff the unit wants to do together after work (drinking) but at least they told us there is nothing planned from after Friday work to Monday so those of us bringing out our spouses can have good time. Doing the Polynesian Culture Center and chill beach time with her.

Word was our PT will be hikes after early work days but that's just what some random guy said happened last year.

Cool. For whatever reason, Manoa Falls trail just popped into my head, so I figured I'd mention it if you and the wife happen to be the hiking type. There's a trail up to the falls that's paved, very leisurely and easy (plus the forest and the falls are beautiful), maybe a half hour round trip. Then, once you get to the falls, turn left and you can take a trail that continues through bamboo thickets and up switchbacks until you end up on a peak and it's like you can see the whole drat island from there. Bring a Camelbak and a windbreaker if you take the hike beyond the falls. Google Manoa Falls trail for more info. It's not terribly far from Waikiki, but you'd probably have to take a cab; I don't think there's a bus that runs there. MWR might be able to wrangle you some transportation.

Got a car rental for the weekend. Gonna google it first so you arent sending me to a gay-hookup campsite but that sounds like a really nice thing to do with her on Sunday.

Wife likes the idea. It's a go for our Sunday together.

Have you looked at recruits lately? Seriously we had at least two guys who were 100% homeless and somehow defeated a drug test.

In happier news I finally got gained to NOSC Bremerton and assigned to a local unit so I dont have have to go to San Diego anymore to drill!

If we stayed in the berthing on sundays we got holloywood showers and time to ourselves.

I don't give a poo poo what god/gods you pray to, but there have been too many suicides imo to keep having a chaplin do the role of a professional psychiatric counselor. We need to repalace the chaplin's duty with people who actually went to school for mental health.

Only had I heard of first hand during my time. Some kid in my building tried to hang himself with a shoe string in the laundry room and the night watch found him. They took him down and put him back in his bed. He tried again that night with the drawstring of his sweatshirt in the shower. That time the night watch finally told a petty officer and poo poo went nuts and woke us all up.

The reserves owes me about 15k right now. Goddamn auditing error from crossing over fiscal years with my c school.

Then I hosed up my AT paper work by uploading the wrong version of my goddamn itinerary (without the $ in one corner) so they have delayed my $ by two weeks + whenever they pick it up again. $5k

So yeah I'm waiting on 20k or so.
