I was going to go down to Norfolk last month and check out what ships look like (are the wings really underwater??) but my roommate ended up divorcing his wife who was stationed there and going to show me around. I got navy'd out of being navy'd

[rose tinted]Ships are cool as long as you aren't stationed on them. Show up for work-ups, deploy, and then be in either a building or other ship in-port with the old man's pennant on it.

I feel like a small ship would be alright and you know actually have camaraderie and command pride etc and less buddy loving. Big ships seem like a free for all aside from the mafia and Chiefs mess Big ships, however, are a mess. Showing up and deploying then taking off is nice but I felt bad when we left and knew why they hated us. Nostalgia4Dogges fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Jan 9, 2015 |

When you have two Leave instructions governing where things are to be routed to, and on one there's education and training and on the other there isn't one, do you follow the most recent one or the one that is "more strict"?

So back when, I was a part of something history for the Nav. The first carrier port in India. The Nimitz was going to go to India. It was gonna be awesome. Chilled monkey-brains for all! Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom poo poo. Bollywood dancing and Hindu temples everywhere. Can't fuckin' wait. It's going to be the first week of July, so the weather will be perfect from the Bay of Bengal; not even fuckin' Monsoon season. This was month four. It was mid-deployment and a break was sort of required due to just having an O'Doole's beer-day a few weeks prior due to only hitting a single working port since launching from North Island back in the Spring. Every port is a working port on a carrier. You're there for four days, you will work two of them; if you're enlisted anyway. My squadron at the time had this thing called duty days for the primary working day, and we had a second one the day after in case the duty section needed extra help. When working hours were over you could gently caress off pierside, if the carrier was even on the pier. Most nations have issues with nuclear reactors and the old "ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT THE POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES TO BRING NUCLEAR WEAPONS BLAH BLAH BLAH" bullshit, so they would send us out a mile and change anchored and send boats to get us. You can imagine how much this made the line of 4000+ people extend and wait, even though it was always done via paygrade. Captain "Nasty" Manazir, at the time, was an all-around fine guy. He even warned us that it was a diplomatic port meeting, and stressed good behavior and gently caress-all. Those that know him better knows the history of his call-sign. He's an admiral now., So we pull alongside Chennai, also known as Madras by the colonial British. It's on the southeast coast of India. It's a goddamned industrial port. India is a loving nuclear country. They've got the bomb. Pakistan to the west has got the bomb. Those two have been rattling their atomic bombs at one another for decades. India is the entire reason we do that loving Naval Exercise every other year. India tells the NIMITZ they can't park here. They anchor us out a mile into the Bay of Bengal. They send boats to get people. It's July 1st. A few hours pass, and most of the officers not on CDO or whatever get off, some of the chiefs as well. Bengali waters are about as fierce as the Sea of Japan. I've been in storms in the Sea of Japan where the waves crashed over the flight deck. 80 foot goddamned swells; ain't seen nothin' like it before or since. Bengali Waters are too rough, and liberty is shut down. Everyone is turned away. People come back later. Day 2: People come back. They send the boats down. Things get rough at the tide. One of the boats sink into the Bay. It's descent is slow enough that another ferry comes alongside it. A Yeoman gets a NAM for taking muster in the personnel transfer. Liberty cancelled. Day 3: Duty day for me. Waters seem calm. Everyone gets to leave. All is well. Then the afternoon came back and the boats all sank. Everyone was cut off from the ship. The shore patrol handed out the edict that if you had a hotel, you could stay. If you didn't, don't bother leaving the pier. It is an industrial pier. It is dirty and there is everything you would think, only it's India. Look at the India thread in GBS. Do it. That's real poo poo. Dragonflies the size of goddamned hummingbirds and they don't give a poo poo. No one is allowed to leave the pier unless they have a reservation. The Navy can't go and get them, and the ship isn't allowed to go to the Pier. A smallboy accompanying us, the Pinckney, does what they can, but there are thousands of stranded sailors in a loving pier in India. They're just a DD. They're not made to hold more than 200 some dudes, right? People are crashing everywhere. Some try to stay up. Not everyone can. You see people sleepin' on the Destroyer's goddamned noskid. They're crashed on bricks or the ground. They're just leaning against poo poo. One dude managed to climb on top of a shipping container.                          Day 4, the 4th of July. Boats don't arrive until 10am that morning. I had real duty then. My job was to go get whoever was left. Logistics Security Specialist: a bus rider. You could see them shamble back onboard the ship from the ferries. These were broken people. They looked, smelled, and sounded disgusting and disgusted. They were all abandoned by the Navy to that shithole because it was inconvenient to retrieve them. The Navy would not let them go somewhere else due to accountability and babysitting them. The waters are still too rough, so I get to take the Admiral's gig out to the bay into the pier. The thing's a glorified motorboat. It's hot, and humid. There are gigantic insects which probably want to give me diseases. We are taken to the Chennai police station. All of Chennai is a loving slum. All of it. It's a gigantic dilapidated slum. Buildings were toppling in on themselves. No one has shoes. Everyone is driving those loving half-sized bumper cards, two to a lane. Everyone is loving honking. They're all honking. It's echolocation in the Indian streets. That's how they navigate packed so tightly. They honk to alert everyone else that they're there. Honk honk. I saw juggling acts on small motorcycles. 3-4 people on a single motorcycle. Mothers clutching babies on the backseats. Everything was dirty and rubble was everywhere. These slums were decorated with fascinating billboards of absolutely flawless Bollywood actresses and film stars, as if judging the castes that filled these broken marble blocks for their failure to be born into better lives. These were my final days as a Theosophist. Sunny Leone has great tits. For the next 8 hours we had to lasso anyone left in India and get them on the Admiral's gig to return back to the Nimitz. I saw many universities. I'm not sure if they taught anything else but customer service etiquette, English, and C++. The bus driver and I waxed philosophic. He hated communists. I was a socialist so I didn't speak up because I was 22 and a coward. He gave me some Hindu beads and a book on some dude who looked like loving Dhalsim. There wasn't a chapter on breathing fire; I checked. I still haven't read it, but 8 years later it looks neat on my bookshelf and I have a story with it. That's the thing about the Navy. You get stories from the bad experiences, and those are the experiences you tell others with an almost fondness. I don't get that. It's human nature to romanticize trauma in order to cope with it. No one wants to be the guy who has to tell the class that their grandfather was an SS Officer who relished in burning Jews; no one wants to point to the photograph of the lynched black man in Mississippi and say, "Yup, that's my gramps, doin' what he has to do to protect the purity of the white race from miscegenation." But those people are around, and I'm sure they remember the stories their elders told them with a sheer fondness; absolutely horrible, repugnant poo poo, but hey, we lived through it. Crazy, huh? When everyone was back, the ship took off. It was then that we discovered that the place the Indian Government set the Nimitz to Anchor out was actually the dumping ground of a sewage plant for all of Chennai, for the people who use bathrooms anyway and weren't just outright making GBS threads in the street. The Indian poo poo water from their loving Delhi Bellies goes straight into our potable intake. Everyone drinks it. Everyone gets Gastro-enteritis. Every single loving person gets gastro-enteritis. The Medbay says, "gently caress it. It's a virus. gently caress all of you guys." They can't do anything. Gotta just let it go through your system, the docs say. Boy it fuckin' does exactly that. The virus liquifies everything and just shoots it out of the nearest orifice. People are taking two stalls opposite of each other and just sitting on all fours waiting for the next volley of liquid. rear end or mouth? Usually that's a good question. Not so much now. Everyone is simultaneously vomiting and shooting hot diarrhea. Operations halt. Captain doubles the cleaning stations. It's now 2 hours a day twice a day. Every division has to go to HazMat and pick up spray bottles of this orange kool-aid poo poo that lacks an MSDS on the bottle because those Corrosion guys probably cooked themselves a fuckin' nuclear cocktail and are distributing it. Mess Decks get loving locked down. Styrofoam everything with plastic utensils. The CS and FSA's make your meal for you and hand you the tray at the end. No more spaghetti or peanut butter. This goes on for two weeks. No one is given any rest or SIQ. Everyone is just told to keep hydrating and keep cleaning everything. Eventually it goes away. We go back to doing circles in the gulf. 18 months later, we get a MUC. I suppose that's worth it.
