Today a watch standard got called an insubordination frog over the radio by a (allegedly) retired coast guard cwo. It's a case that's on one hour and they have yet told us where they at, they need fuel and their taxes pay us.

Got a call from Base Boston today about installing a radio on a 110'. This would be cool and make me feel important except I don't know poo poo about radios, cutters, installing radios on cutters, or why Base Boston would think I know. Like how did they even get my number. I have never been there.

Because covid? Maybe lack of available movers? I’ve got mine scheduled for early June…hoping since I’m in DC and there’s tons of military I don’t get hosed too hard, but it’s my last PCS so it’s kinda guaranteed, right?

Also the wife is on board for a full ditty move, and because we are getting rid of most of our furniture I think it might be our best option

Got approved for an apartment a little below my BAH rate, 7 minute ride to work, in a nice walkable and bikable area, and with a Puerto Rican Restaurant/Dance club/nightclub minutes away.

I know the $1000 bonus or whatever for signing someone up and there’s probably some SRB’s out there… I didn’t realize all the retirements though. Super curious how things are going to look in 5-10 years. I’ve got 3 left until I drop my letter.

Eason the Fifth posted:United States Coast Guard Ready Workforce 2030: $1000 bounty per head Tomorrow looks different and so will we. Yes, because we won’t have enough bodies to do our 11 statutory missions. We’ll staff every unit with auxiliarists and pray they don’t die on watch.

Our auxiliary is terrible because we don't enable them and encourage them when they do good poo poo. Dieing on watch is a good way to go better then the toilet. Edit: on a reread the sarcasm doesn't come across very well. Dieing on watch would be a horrible way to go. Melthir fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Dec 8, 2022 |

In a world of massive bonuses and personal shortages how many years do you guys think it's going to be before this poo poo gets really bad? We got told not to expect a non rate for a couple of years.

We got told not to expect a non rate for a couple of years. I dunno man. I have yet to see a decent carrot on a stick to retain anyone. They started doing bonuses for department heads on cutters and even investigation officers for prevention, but those jobs are miserable. It’s probably the same as it always has been to some degree. Our top people are leaving in favor of better prospects outside the coast guard where they don’t have to move all the time or be treated like a kid. Zukufnt (sp?) promised more geostability but the only thing I saw out of that was MST’s getting 5 year tours at feeder ports, and that’s not enough to make a splash. So when the top people leave, we’re left with a few who want to be in the coast guard, another handful whom are stuck (hi, I have 17 years in and I’m riding this out until 20 for the pension), and some others that don’t have other options. That’s definitely a pessimistic take on it and I’m generalizing, but I’m curious how this place will look in 5-10 years if we continue to be unable to Hit our numbers. They started throwing more 3rd class cadets to cutters during the summer so at least the cutters have some grunts around to do some deck work due to lack of non rates. What’s next? Throw some more to the sector to mow lawns? Future is bleak. I’m curious what Fagan says at the state of the coast guard and how much of it is attainable. I think we definitely need more money at least towards junior enlisted. The fact that people are relying on food banks to make ends meet is not ok.
