Seems like a small thing but it's always nice to have a shiny to work towards. Only 2 pins in the navy mean poo poo. SWO is not one of them.

If you want a Navy career that will not make you want to shoot yourself in the face, be a supply officer.

Billzasilver posted:Word? What's the reason there? I've seen that CECs are supposed to keep lots of supplies stocked if they work in overseas bases They don't actually have to keep poo poo stocked. The enlisted guys take care of everything. The CHOP just takes care of paperwork and approves/disapproves poo poo. Some of them get bored and qualify Diving Officer on subs. The one on my boat was the worst loving dive ever. Supply is easy loving street.

LogicalFallacy posted:Well, I did not expect quite as much of an... exuberant response. Fwiw I am 26 and me going nuke is highly dependent on my age waiver going through. Either way I plan on doing ET, so I do figure on having transferable skills once I get out, assuming I don't re-enlist. Do you really think that Tets story is a one off thing? This poo poo has been going on for 30+ years and has not changed one single bit other than to become even more stressful. Be a nuke. You will love it.

Here is a warm uplifting Chief story for you. The Chiefs on my boat were always mad at my sonar chief. Why you ask? Because he would stand sonar supervisor watch instead of diving officer watch. We had enough sonar supervisors to barely maintain a 3 sup rotation while the dive watch was at 7 section. The rest of us normal sonar watchstanders at that time had to stand port/stbd watch. When we finally had enough manning (just before westpac is the only time the detailers make sure you have a proper amount of staffing) to stand a 3 section sonar watch they had my chief stand diving officer watch. 8 section duty at sea. 1 watch every 2 days doing standard 6 hour watch rotation. He told us he spent 16hrs in the rack and only got out of bed because he had to piss so drat bad. He also claimed to feel guilty as hell and when we went on westpac he was back in sonar doing a 4 section sonar supervisor rotation.

-Anders posted:I'm from a non-US navy, and I have a bit of a hard time with the terminology here. Help me out a bit. Sonar Supervisor is the guy who oversees the 3-5 guys running the systems in the sonar shack. Diving officer keeps the ship 'balanced' by telling the Chief of the Watch to move water/othershit around tanks and executes depth changes as ordered by the OOD.

That would be nice to see. The LA was 'lucky' that the aux equipment space was turned into an extra 9 man berthing (with horrible ventilation). Not having to stick 20-40+ people onto hotracks + torpedo room while on deployment would help quite a bit.

McNally posted:The master chief walked awkwardly into the hospital room, the combination hat in his hands slowly being turned in circles as he unconsciously showed his nervousness. 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. He took a glance at the notecard in his hand and tried to speak, but his voice caught. He took a breath, cleared his throat, and tried again.

It is good that you came to the Navy thread for a Marine question, as the Marines are a sub division of the Navy and get all of their funding from the Navy.
