I'm a GiP device having MoFo. I did crank, for 49 days on a DD. The CPO mess hated my music. Never been to a Navy ball, although I will admit, I kind of want to wear a tiara just once. Only 2 COs fired, and one XO. We tried really hard to get CMC fired but that didn't work. Far as I know she's still in CMC on shore duty and still a CMC. And no tricareatops or dependas for me. He has his own Tricare. And paycheck.

But I mean "fired" in the Military just means you're relieved of your duties at said place/command only for it to be reinstated elsewhere or forced into retirement? lol

ActusRhesus posted:Only had one "is the CMC a retard?" experience...we got a new CMC. The community I was working in had a disproportionate number of sailors marrying admittedly hot, but crazy chicks and it ending badly. Experience taught us that the first thing that would happen after separation occurred was a phone call from the soon to be ex claiming non-support. Experience also taught us that if you blow them off, they will keep going higher and higher up the food chain until eventually Hottie McBatshit is calling the CO's desk. So my LNC and I had a system wherein we directed the quarterdeck to refer all crazy exes to legal...LNC or I would listen, pretend to give a poo poo, then say "Wow, that's really terrible. We take things like this very seriously. Can you please put all that in a letter, and attach any receipts or bills you have, and send it to the command, to my attention? Once we get your letter I will make sure we look into it and take appropriate action." The ones who just wanted to gently caress with their ex would not be bothered...and the rare instance it was a legit complaint, we would have what we needed to sit down and counsel petty officer idiot. After hanging up, we would back brief the appropriate LCPO and the CMC. Well, shortly after new CMC arrived, we got a call from a crazy. We fielded it, went to tell CMC, and he was in the shower. No biggie. Whatever. so the LCPO filled him in later that morning. He went ape poo poo "blah blah blah. This is enlisted business. Stay out of it. This isn't your place. Blah blah blah. Lot's of profanity." So after explaining to him that, while I was only a staff officer, and he was the CMC, I was still an officer, and his tone was not appropriate, he left my office, again telling me to stay out of enlisted affairs. So I called all the over-eager first tour JAGs who were handling these alleged "non-support" claims on behalf of the crazies from their various legal assistance commands...and the crazies who were unrepresented...and told them all that their new POC for this issue was the CMC and they should direct all calls to him from now on. About 30 minutes (and no less than 6 calls from overzealous 25 year old lawyers) later, the CMC came back into my office and recognized that perhaps legal was the best place to handle this particular issue, and perhaps staff corps have their uses. He wasn't a bad guy, all in all...he just needed to learn to slow down and observe a little bit before deciding what needed to be fixed. We weren't the only shop to have that issue with him. A few years after I got out, I hooked up with a HN from the Love Boat for a few weekends of fun. Her estranged husband kept calling the CMC, complaining about whatever. I didn't stick around long enough to find out what happened.

The two were kissing in the vacant house and Kuenn wanted to have sex, he told investigators. Hutto refused, yelling into the foggy night air. To quiet her screams, Kuenn said he hit the young woman with the 2-by-4.

Had a Chief that was afraid of firings to the point he called in everyone E-4 and below into a conference room to scare everyone into not reporting a drat thing (even went so far as to tell us all that if we are planning to kill ourselves we should because we are a blight on society if we cant handle the 'old school Navy' he was trying to keep around, in a room that had four of my suicidal patients), a CO that was trying his hardest to quiet people pointing poo poo out that was wrong with the system, and a Chief's Mess that throws the book at junior people but sweeps poo poo under the rug as much as possible for E-5 and above. I couldnt imagine working in a command with some of the poo poo you guys have, although if the female CMC Poopkitty had ran Great Lakes' Corpsman A School the year it closed I wouldn't be surprised.

Panda, I sure hope that E-7 is no longer in the Navy. As much as I dislike this job sometimes, I really like most of the people. After all they were fed the same kool aid as me. And no, she didn't. She wasn't a CMC until she got to my ship. I think she's at her last duty station now. She won't go back to sea at least.

One CO fired, one CO court-martialed. The former was a shitstain who deserved it, but not for reasons given, the latter was a decent guy who got caught up in a lot of OJAG political bullshit. The former spends most of his days whining to anyone who will listen about how unfair it all is and how OJAG is the reason he can't find meaningful post-navy employment, the latter spent 90 days in the brig catching up on his reading and now makes bank in the private sector, so I guess all works out in the end.

Seems like his types are common at my command with cool dudes randomly showing up. Everyone says I pretty much have the shittiest luck ending up here with 4 year orders on a 5 year contract. Lol.

Never had a CO or XO fired, though my last one should have been. I did have a former CO get wrapped up in the Fat Leonard fiasco though. Also, I've never been to a Navy Ball either. gently caress that noise. Also, my 6 months of loving off in schools and on leave is over. I'm in Sas-vegas now about to get put on the clock again.

When we went to PI a sailor got drunk, punched out a window, shoved a cop, wrestled a bunch of other sailors, and ran away from the police after already being detained. He got NJP'd (obviously) and sent back from deployment to get separated The JAG had to walk off ship with a bag of $10k or some poo poo at least twice if not more But yeah can't top the dude who found his sister working at a whore house and went outside and punched out a window in a fit of rage. No less than at least 3 different windows were punched out that port stop

The fat Leonard thing was gold. The investigation was like a who's who of shady. Knew more than a few involved. Not surprised by any of them, but was surprised some were willing to tube their careers over lady gaga tickets. I would have held out for a better act.

So I'm TDY somewhere there's no Navy, or even any DoD, for six months. Obviously my PRT was bound to be an issue. Talked to my chain and told them about it, they say its cool, so naturally I'm skeptical as poo poo. Find another sailor who's also going and found out he put in an SRC and a copy of his travel orders. I do the same and turn it in. "Oh, thanks." Two weeks ago by. LPO says she'll get with me before the weekend. Three weeks go by. I've now left. Seven weeks go by. Two weeks to PRT window and at this point I've called my DFL, CFL office (4 times, getting 4 unique answers) and even called a Chief from another department who all say they'll get back to me. Eighth week and my LPO finally calls. "WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU TELL US YOU COULDN'T PRT THERE?" So I tell my LPO I dropped an SRC and she says she'll call me back when she finds it. >Three days later. "Hey, I need you to resubmit your SRC." "Why?" "I need you to move the date submitted to today. It looks like we sat on this with the date being in August."  So I resubmit everything. Change the dates to cover their asses. Get a call four days later from DIVO. "You better not submit this poo poo so late again." ROGER Yet somehow they blew their lid when I said I wanted to drop an army warrant aviation packet as if I was leaving the brass ring behind. Granted I'm sure my army packet will never be completed, because two items on there have to come from my current chain of command in a timely fashion. What boggles my loving mind is that it's been this way for the past two years. My girlfriend had an out of bounds chit get sat on for three weeks and was told AFTER the weekend that it was approved. How does anyon-- hungghghhghhh

Friend of mine wanted to go to the carrier to pin a protégé. Carrier works it out, pays for the COD ride, requests her to come aboard, the whole 9. But our command dropped the ball and didn't tell her she could go until 1 hour after the COD left. And CMC (who isn't, just the Senior Master Chief because we are too small for a real one) is wondering why she's mad.
