First classes hot racking was when they started considering it. There were still plenty of times that more junior 1sts would be hot racking. Honestly we probably just couldn't keep people on board long enough to make it a so that more 1sts were hot racking. In a one year period, we had roughly 25 people tap. Ranging from nubs to even a couple chiefs.

Always live in town if you can. No one wants to visit you in any kind of base housing.

piL posted:Always live in town if you can. No one wants to visit you in any kind of base housing. Ennnnh...this isn't as true in someplace like Sigonella. When you rent a place off-base, you're renting just a "people containment unit." You'll be lucky if the place still has windows after the contract is signed. It *won't* have staples people assume places will have elsewhere, like...cabinets, cupboards, countertops, or sometimes electrical outlets that haven't had the wiring removed so it can be replaced/reinstalled by a juiced-in contractor. The base housing office now offers temporary furniture, but whatever you buy, the landlord is hoping to score from you for a song when your tour is up. If they could remove the floors, they'd do it, then admonish you for not just balancing on the rebar.

Of course, in Sigonella's case, they built the Marinai Housing Complex in a bad spot outside of NAS 2 and...well... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRIDqk4QjYQ

We actually just did active shooter training this morning and I thought I was misremembering something CNRFC/RCC/NOSC Commands, Effective immediately, the Personnel Qualification Standard (PQS) (NAVEDTRA 43075A) for Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) staff is in effect. This PQS cancels any previous edition. An extensive review and subsequent revision of the NOSC PQS was recently completed to ensure the relevancy, validity, integrity, and focus on Navy Reserve Warfighting Readiness. To be eligible for this PQS, Sailors must be assigned to Commander, Naval Reserve Forces Command (CNRFC), a Reserve Component Command (RCC) or a Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC). With the release of NAVEDTRA 43075A, the following program changes are in effect: A. The program is mandatory for all NOSCs. B. Requalification for AC, FTS or SELRES previously qualified under NAVEDTRA 43075 is not required. C. Sailors E1 and above assigned to a NOSC must enroll in the program. E. Commands must have a billeted Navy CO/OIC and SEL to establish and maintain a NOSC PQS program. F. The NOSC PQS program coordinator must be an E7 or above and shall be designated by the command CO/OIC. Exceptions will be granted on a case-by-case basis by the command CO/OIC. G. Sailors must complete all job-related and command or unit qualification requirements prior to enrolling in the NOSC PQS program, (i.e. Occupational Advancement Requirement Standards, etc.) H. For commands with other PQS programs, Sailors will qualify in the command’s primary warfare mission area first. I. Sailors assigned TAD to an aforementioned command for the purpose of qualifying in the NOSC PQS is not authorized. J. Sailors authorized TAD or temporarily assigned to an aforementioned command in excess of six-months may qualify in the NOSC PQS; however, it is not mandatory. Once a Sailor completes a PQS, the following documentation is required for qualification: 1. Final Qualification cards contained within NAVEDTRA 43075A completed and signed by the CO/OIC. 2. Qualification annotated in NSIPS/FLTMPS. 3. Report qualification to the command’s respective ISIC.

Is it a pin or just a PQS to attempt to get people who volunteer to do stuff way out-of-rate for a few years to possibly be competent at their jobs?

It's just a standard workstation PQS. To prove that the NOSC staff has a bare minimum of competency and a generic understanding of the other watchstations. Just like you'd get in E-div, O-div, etc. Just means you, as a six-month-report E6 in Medical, can't give the Seaman Salute to every reservist walking in that says "hey, Ops sez my orders are on med hold. Where do they go after you clear them?"

Anyone who wants to voluntarily figure out how a NOSC works before being assigned there is good in my book. The way the NOSCs "support" reservists right now is barely adequate at best, and actively harmful in a lot of cases. Any improvement is welcome.

The most helpful three months of my reserve career was serving at the NOSC and learning who everyone was and showing enough face to be remembered in the future. I may do it again now that there’s been a complete turnover since then.

Hey Navy goons who know more than me. As a co-parent watching the child while the other parent is underway am I privy to knowing the underway schedule of the ship including the future underways? The ship is doing work ups for deployment next year and we’re in a custody battle so my lawyer needs to know how often/long they’ll be gone so I can apply for primary custody and stop paying child support when I have our daughter the majority of the time but she keeps telling me I am not allowed to know because OPSEC. I’m pretty sure I’m allowed to know but I can’t find the specific instruction that states it because I know spouses can but I’m sure that includes a non-married parent. It’s a LPD so not a sub doing secret squirrel stuff and I have a security clearance so I wanna assume that means I’m able to know the schedule. It would also be nice to know when they’ll be back and I can plan around that. Right now she’s saying she’ll let me know the day they’re back. She didn’t even tell me she was leaving until the morning she did.

As far as I know, even the surface ship schedules are need-to-know basis. A clearance only means you can know the stuff you need to know. We had an admiral tour our sub and there were still places they weren't allowed to go, despite holding much higher clearances than needed for those spaces. Granted, that was a sub. Maybe one of the surface guys could chime in with whether things are different for surface fleet.

Perhaps your lawyer could contact the ship's admin office directly? They could ask for a response in writing that the information is unavailable, if that turns out to be the case, or they will tell her chief to fix her situation such that the ship is not getting contacted by divorce lawyers.

I didn’t want to go this route but I’ll suggest it to my lawyer. I want to work with her and keep her out of trouble and just show her the instruction or at least tell her that I spoke with some internet sea lawyers to confirm I’m right and see if she’s willing to work with me then.

You’re definitely not allowed to know the ships schedule as a default rule. Perhaps you could ask for data on past deployment or underways for the court case?

If you don't want to reach out to ship admin directly, try contacting the ship's ombudsman. It's their job to communicate with families about schedules.

I'd also maybe hope that with historical data of 'lol 8 month deployment' timelines means they assign you default custody and it would be up to the other party to prove that they're available to be a parent now and then?

Surface ship schedules are still controlled/classified information. Contacting the command OMBUDSMAN is definitely the best source of information, but even then they're probably not going to be able to give you specific information beyond general dates for the next few months.

That’s literally all I need. General dates and just a month that they’re planning their deployment and the month they’re planning to be back. Also at least a 24h notice before she leaves and maybe a general week she’ll be back. I don’t know if she’ll be back this week, next week or next month but she keeps saying OPSEC.
