SquirrelyPSU posted:For those of you not versed in life on a carrier in the PNW, tiger cruises are usually two tiered. On the way home from deployment, one Tiger Cruise will be from Pearl Harbor to San Diego, the other is San Diego to Everett/Bremerton. To make room, a lot of the guys with family can choose to leave out of Hawaii and take the first leave period. However, the cruise is chill as hell and its basically 10 days of making sure everything is order before you head out on leave as soon as you get back. I am unable to wrap my head around a deployment that doesn't end in an ORSE genderstomper58 posted:we did a lil fake emergency blow during ours, those are so lame Especially if you're the putz who has to ride the HPACs for hours afterwards

Akula Raskolnikova posted:So I'm almost done with HM A school, I just got my orders today. I'm going to be an 8506, lab tech. Any opinions from the HM's? Why did you pick a c-school out of a-school? Bad idea IMO. Lab tech orders are long too. Like, 3-4 years? So you can get stuck somewhere awesome or somewhere lovely. Every lab tech I met absolutely hated their job because they were so overworked. You can get some civilian equivalent certs to work as a lab tech so I guess that's good? Most I've talked to want nothing to do with lab poo poo when they get out but who knows.

Anyone here use an ecig? Picked up the habit in rehab and now it's pretty sweet. I now get what all the liking of tobacco is and how it just makes everything chill in its own way because this buzz is cool. Also, 86 days sober

Also, 86 days sober You're purposefully inhaling a vaporized version of a liquid that was designed in a lab to look like real smoke. What do you think is actually in the liquid? Smoke doesn't come in ready-to-vaporize liquid form.

How anyone could pick up smoking after 20 is a mystery to me, that poo poo seems abnormal. I started smoking at 16 and quit at 23.

I don't understand how a whole generation could grow up knowing how bad it is and even start. I mean, my grandmother smokes, doesn't wear a seatbelt, etc.... but that was normal back then...

I used to let the non-smoking sailors who worked for me take breaks just as often as the smokers did. Some chiefs didn't like it but it was one of those cases where I just played the noble card.

Called it a "fresh air break", but Chief didn't like them at first until I told him I needed to leave work so I could buy a pack of cigarettes so I didn't have to actually do anything while I was there... He really didn't like that. Then he realized 3/4ths of the division spent about 3/4ths of non-raining work days smoking.

Well at least you didn't piss them off and get Psych Tech, so there's a bright side to it. poo poo, I even dropped my GPA to like 80 trying to get them to take it away and they were like "lol no". Meh, if sucking on a robot dick is going to cool me down when deep breathing, lifting, and meditation fails while also keeping me from wanting to eat poo poo away or purchase copious amounts of alcohol then I'll deeply inhale Bender's holy vapors, from Mom with love. That's weird that you guys get smoke breaks though. Guess because we are "healthcare professionals" and are asked to maintain an example of it when around the hospital we aren't allowed to have breaks.

If i ever became a chief I would be the biggest rear end in a top hat. I would gather up all the smokers after work and have them police the parking lot cigarette butts. Non smokers would get to go home early. That's why i'm never going to be a chief.

First impression is you're a giant tool though. I assume you've accepted that but good on you for trying to get better. Lesser of evils or something but seriously e-cigs are better than drinking yourself to death or being fat. Fart Sandwiches fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Apr 19, 2014 |

I used e-cigs to quit real cigs almost three years ago. I don't think I have used an e-cig in like 2 years. They can be a good way to stop smoking in my opinion, but why the duck would you choose that for a bad habit? It's not like they are a satisfying source of nicotine, I mean gently caress, you are in the navy, go buy a can of dip.

You don't even have to get your delicate hands dirty. Tobacco is stupid, and using it as an excuse for anything (avoiding another addiction, having a social life) is stupider.

Mind I'd also be raring to start the day's work at like 0630 so by lunchtime I was generally done with the day's non-busy work anyway. We had a couple officers who dipped, although at least one was prior enlisted. The submarine air was so full of oil and amine and other crap, and sub life so unhealthy in general, that the argument that smoking or tobacco use was bad for you sorta fell on deaf ears.

I was the DCPO for Radio on my last ship (lol) it was great, anytime work came up I just grabbed a toolbag and an MRC and walked off muttering about something I had to do, I promptly hosed off to one of the spaces where people I knew from engineering or combat systems hung out. I spent a good month worth of days hanging out in the control room below the forward RAM sponson. 50 degree AC in the Persian Gulf owns.

In Groton, at least twice a week, a few of us in Nav Div and eventually the whole division would go to the bowling alley, get lunch, and go into the pub and watch The Price is Right on the big screens... Eventually, at 1100, none of the screens would be on sports, we got them all changed over to PiR and after a while they were always on PiR even when we weren't there. It became the thing. While we were there, we would play Super Chexx, table tennis, shuffleboard, etc. It is actually my fondest memory of being on subs...
