vulturesrow posted:loving ROTC grads The sad thing was most of them were my buddies from OCS, we told them summer whites, but they thought it was meant as full choker whites. It sucked for one of my friends who checked in in proper SDBs, but rolled in at the same time as Navy Ball group so even though she had been in a correct uniform, she had to do the inspection too But yeah the ROTC grads looks like rear end in their uniforms the whole while I was in schools command.

haha bunch of operations classes got cancelled because poo poo keeps breaking, effectively doubling my hold time from ~3-5 months to ~6-10 months due to the amount of people ahead of me apparently the few classes that didn't get cancelled literally go in to the classroom and sleep or jerk around all day

I checked in with khakis and then just did the A-pool muster thing in PT gear for a few months in 2009. Though every 6 months or so some new hilarious Ensign fuckup makes them knee jerk some new bs for everyone. For us it was endangered bird hunting and breaking into the schoolhouse to steal tests.

We mustered in khakis with mandatory group PT 3 times a week (too many dudes were coming in from OHARP with an extra 20-40 pounds and failing the APIT), but in terms of trouble the worst we had were a couple guys sneaking into the survival pool to practice tread and float and the institution of a mandatory 4 hour parking lot watch in khakis to make sure students didn't park in instructor spaces. Also we had so many people getting pink sheets in IFS testing because the proctor liked to change questions from the study material to mess with the students. Killing birds and stealing tests though, that sounds like a story.

Jimmy4400nav posted:mandatory 4 hour parking lot watch in khakis to make sure students didn't park in instructor spaces. Hahahahahahahahahaha. God drat that place is run by a bunch of chodes. Not a whole lot to the other two stories. Birds: four guys decide to go shoot birds on a wildlife preserve. Get busted, spend a bunch of time in disciplinary limbo. I think some got kicked out, but at least one of them eventually classed up and continued. He was stashed at CTW-6 as the watchbill officer while I was going through. Tests: a 2nd LT (not an ensign this time!) decides to exercise initiative and breaks into the cabinet with the API tests. He ended up confessing a few days later. This happened right as I was leaving, so I don't know all the details of what the reaction was, but I assume it was something stupid. There was also a guy a few years later who beat up Mickey Mouse. (the article doesn't say if the park employees were in costume but that's how it happened in my head) quote:"I've seen plenty of drunk people, being from a small town in Texas, but I've never seen someone so drunk that they would attack someone randomly," Craig told The Sentinel.

I only know who one of them was for certain and she's amazing. Summary group average was 3.4. I'm not sure how to find the CO average. Got a 5, two 3s and four 4s. Got some nice platitudes in the comment box so that's nice.

I got lucky, the pool was down to like 20-30 people and I managed to avoid all the major bullshit watches (parking lot watch and 8 hour quarter deck watch), worst watches were random one hour RAM checking the bags and IDs for 0-6's coming to the command. Museum watch was fun though. Love the last line of the article: quote:The source said the squadron commander pulled all of the students and reminded them not to be stupid.

Some poor sailor on the Nimitz just bought a scummy subcontractor a drink. Those vending machines have some real hangtime when a credit card is used on them. Poor(er) guy didn’t mean to gently caress ya.

Do ships not have some kind of debit system? Like the stupid Eagle Cash stuff AAFES does on Army/AF bases overseas? Using actual bandwidth for poo poo like vending machines is laughably loving stupid. "Welp, we're at war and in EMCON, guess everyone's just gonna pass out on duty 3 hours in because they can't feed their energy drink addictions."

Nimitz is in dry dock with multiple fiber connections (shout out to my crew) allowing the machines to have cc readers on them for dockyard personal to buy hot pockets and energy drinks too. Hell even the coffee and smoothie shop has a shack in the hanger bay now.

I remember we had these chip cards that you could transfer money to from a bank account to use in vending machines. We could also do chip-to-chip transactions for ~our shipboard craigslist~, really kept the grey market going.

One of the ships in our squadron had a prostitution ring going on and it was traced via the cash cards.

Using actual bandwidth for poo poo like vending machines is laughably loving stupid. It does have a connection that travels though the various SATCOM based IP service systems across the fleet. However, the NavyCash system is not "always on" and can function offline during EMCON or when the connection inevitably drops for some reason.

It makes sense if the ship is docked with a hardline, too.

Every few months we get a departmental email from some aggrieved person in management who lost $1.50 to the same thing. Funny every time.

On deployment it was all navycash cards. (randomly nonfunctional) I guess they switched them to regular cards after it went in.

I believe that these large deck ships only have the CC readers setup while in the yards, once they leave they usually go to all Navy Cash Card only.

Non-Fat Leonard scandal: Navy and Tetra Tech completely fake cleanup of San Francisco shipyard superfund site https://sf.curbed.com/2018/4/10/17219434/hunters-point-shipyard-navy-cleanup-san-francisco-faked quote:However, an independent review by the EPA found that the Navy dramatically understated the scope of the problem. According to the EPA, as much as 97 percent of the cleanup data is unreliable and must be retested, John Chestnutt, manager of the EPA’s local Superfund Division, wrote in a December 27 letter. Consequences are for little people.

vulturesrow posted:Today was my last day of doing Navy stuff. Terminal leave starts Monday...feels weird man. Congrats man. I got out almost a year ago (went on terminal in May). Currently in school, starting my job as an engineer in June working on DOD/Navy stuff but it will be R&D focused. It takes some getting used to. Since all of my friends are still in sometimes it's hard to detach yourself from the service. Whenever I talk to my friends it's nothing but SWO talk. And they're reaching a point where they are fully drinking the kool aide (the 5+ YCS mark) Not gonna lie, on some days I was regretting getting out but overall I'm happy with my decision. It's good that you have a job lined up right away, because that's gonna give you a purpose. Being in school has been challenging since it's been hard for me to take it seriously and the other students are hard to relate to.

Redeploying. What a successful deployment, our triad got fired, there are a dozen on going investigations, countless mishaps. The real mission was making the friends we did along the way, though
