I remember when the ship sucked up a bunch of JP5 it spilled and everyone had the shits for a bit. They told us it was fine to drink it :downs:

That poo poo forever permeated the plastic of our nalgenes

This isn't directed towards you but I'm not sure why people hate the VA for not giving them a hearing aid or taking their hearing loss serious as being service related when they never once wrote it down and skipped that box on their final physical because they didn't want to make their EAS more work


All the while they were 19 and had good hearing lol why would I need earpro? I'm a man damnit

Aside from being lazy I can't see any reason for them to do that, though, it doesn't really benefit them...?

But yeah lazy and maybe they lost your original 🤷🏽‍♀️

another reminder that you don't have to have hearing loss to have tinnitus

You can still get paid for tinnitus without an obvious loss of hearing. I'm guessing actual severe hearing loss gets more but I just made that up

Ya my experience was extremely carefree. Had it on my final physical, maybe had one medical visit just to document it

Got out, saw a nice audiologist out in town the VA contracted out. I had two physicals for claims and this was one of them. She did some tests, asked some questions, said I didn't really have hearing loss but symptomatic for tinnitus and she'll write it down etc etc so in case my hearing gets worse I can get a hearing aid at the VA when I'm 60

Nice lady

Apparently you aren't aware that Master Chiefs exist.

no but since we're talking about boot camp I remember chiefs always wearing the Johnny Cashs' to gently caress with us for the last months that they could because we only knew black pants = petty officer tan = chief

"good morning pett.....AY YOU LITTLE gently caress HOW ABOUT WE TRY THAT AGAIN"

:shrug:


LingcodKilla posted:

Oh the simplicity of the coast guard. Legit jealous.

Honestly ribbons and all that junk should be relegated to dress uniform and then there should be a standard working uniform (coveralls anyone?) Like, a real working uniform. That or like the CG two piece coverall type utility whatever the gently caress. You can give all the niche units ther snowflake uniforms, who cares, just don't add dumb arbitrary wear rules to them ( lol fat chance). That or just make them pay for it out of their uniform allowance. I mean really there's no reason not to allow everyone to wear the same uniform if they so choose. I'm not saying let people do stolen valor with seal tridents and poo poo but you get my point.

Also someone needs to finally decide if coveralls are acceptable to wear everywhere or if we should just issue everyone flight suits instead. Because speaking of arbitrary....

Coveralls on board ship, USCG dickies style on shore. Unit ball caps with both.

Done. You’re welcome.

lol if only. Kinda sad how long it took them to even allow ballcaps in the first place with NWUs. Hmmmm esprit de corps and unit/ship pride...nah cannot have none of that
