What happens when you total an aircraft carrier? Linked article is in Russian, but this quote has a translation if you click through. Nenonen posted:At first the fire damages on Kuznetsov were reported to be minor and just some cabling that was going to be replaced anyway. No harm done!

We used to send people home early or offer spots on the good TDYs. It's really not that hard to treat your people well.

For real. I hear things have changed, but some poo poo never changes.

But if you dont treat your underlings like moving pond scum how will you feel like the big dick in the room? Sadly that applies everywhere

Sounds about right

Admirals are maybe slightly less despicable than SEALs but not by much

Mind you not being able to track multiple ships above a certain number is not an uncommon issue amongst navigation software and equipment. The SOLAS ARPA standard is something ridiculous like eight targets.

My dumb troop who I talked about a while back started blabbing to me on drill about how he totally derailed bystander training, and the trainer guy didn't know what to do. He asked me if I'd seen Four Christmases, which I hadn't. Apparently there's some scene in it where a couple go into a bar and pretend to meet for the first time. So he's all "Yeah so we go to bars and pretend we don't know each other and start feeling each other up, and that's not really anyone else's business so they shouldn't be stepping in on that, and so bystander training is BS" He was really proud of himself.

Absurd Alhazred posted:Touch-screen shenanigans Touch screen devices are massively unreliable to start with unless you spend thousands of dollars on each screen and accompanying hardware, and even then the most you want to do with that is draw images you can erase if you gently caress up a stroke. Not steer giant navy vessels in real time.

Anybody who thinks touch screens should be on any kind of critical system on a ship has never tried to steer one through a storm. Also, night vision motherfuckers.
