My Port Royal story is the time they called us up on BTB to inform us they'd be "standing by to receive passing honors" even though a) submarines aren't required to participate in passing honors in the first place, and b) it turned out our CO was senior to theirs.

I mean even in the fleet, a captain calling people retards or faggots is going to end up on the front page of Navy Times soon enough. Just because MM2 and MM3 say it to each other on the boat without consequences doesn't mean it's acceptable or that there wouldn't be consequences if the wrong person heard them.

lol @ "nuclear engineer" in the Navy. FYI we don't have any of those. What "engineers" we do have are called that in the olde tyme sense that they work on the engines. The actual engineers work for Bechtel. Does she have a good GPA and a degree in a "hard" engineering discipline like nuclear, mechanical, aero? She can get a much better job outside the military.

This actually is a thing in that he has a certification with (more or less) that title on it, but it's "engineer" in the sense of "in charge of the engines," not what any reasonable person outside the Navy actually thinks of when they hear "engineer."

When he realized what he was doing, he set it on the chair by the door and stepped over to the young petty officer's bed.

There have been women on submarines for like seven years now, Virginias for five years, female enlisted for three years. You put a reversible male/female sign on the shower doors and you don't go in the changing space if there's someone else in there. You require everyone to wear a t-shirt and shorts at minimum when they leave their berthing space. That's it. All modesty problems are now solved. Even on an all-male sub there's really no reason to ever see anyone else in less than a t-shirt and shorts outside of your berthing space. This is like #87 on the list of most difficult problems facing the submarine force.

BedBuglet posted:There's a world of difference between female officers and female enlisted and a world of difference between life on a boomer and life on a fast attack. To be clear, I'm not arguing against women on subs. I think they absolutely should be. I know some of those women. I'm saying that a reversible sign and segregated berthing spaces don't magically solve those problems. In those years there's already been issues, those numbnuts on the Wyoming being one of the ones that actually got reported on. There's been others that never made it past the CO. If the Navy is serious about fully integrating subs, I think they need to be better prepared to handle these situations than they have been. *shrugs* The Wyoming incident was hardly a problem with women on submarines, it was a problem with criminal behavior by men on submarines. The modesty challenges are already solved and it wasn't hard. Everything else is discipline and professionalism. The fast attacks will find they are still able to operate effectively despite the arduous burden of no longer being able to wander the engine room in a cock sock.

I swear if you went to the most average ship in the Navy and pulled the most average O-3 and E-5 and made them the CNO and MCPON for a month we would solve 90% of the stupid rear end problems that we flail around uselessly spending millions of dollars on while passing up the obvious solutions with no downsides.

See, already an improvement on the current leadership! I estimate a savings to our sailors of $25,000 per change of command for a destroyer-sized command by not having to update medals and dry clean dress uniforms, and the only downside is some O-5 doesn't get his dick stroked quite as hard.

Al Capwn posted:I'm a shore sailor and I was sent on a COMPUTEX and recently got back from a deployment. That experience was cool and all but definitely changed my mindset of the Navy. Before all that I was definitely going to reenlist. Now with having spent 9 months at sea while on shore duty I am most definitely going to get out. I have 6 months until my PRD, and I have 10 months until my EAOS. Since it was easy for my CMC to send me off like that, im worried that if I tell my plans to not reenlist he will send me TAD somewhere again and thus ruin potential plans I have set about leaving. If he tries to send me TAD again for whatever reason, is there a way to contest or fight it? If you're willing to be a dirtbag about it? Sure. Develop some medical problems or family issues. Otherwise just keep quiet about your plans to not reenlist for as long as possible. Going to TGPS under the radar is probably impossible so delay that as long as possible. That should buy you a few months until you have to drop chits for TGPS and to match PRD with EAOS. Before you drop those chits, get some strategically spaced-out leave periods approved for dates leading up to when you're separating. Meanwhile do your job as well as possible, and maybe pick up an important collateral duty. The best way to avoid being sent away is to be useful where you are.

For less insane prices, but good food there’s Steelhead Diner or The Pink Door as well. I always found it amusing that Canlis has a dress code, considering that even the orchestra and the opera don't have a dress code in Seattle.
