So I have been LPO now for a month in my shop, and I have an ET3 under me, he is basically fresh out of C school, and I dunno how I can help this kid. He forgets poo poo all the time, goes off and does his own thing for hours at a time, doesn't inform other people of when he is going to do said things, and whenever anyone tries to talk to this kid he just shuts the gently caress down. He's smart as hell, really knows his poo poo, but for the love of god he is a terrible fit for the military. He has some personal issues in his past and is seeing mental health about them (I have treated him with kid gloves in the past because of that, I don't want the kid to off himself). But I am at my goddamn breaking point, I've finally decided to start taking poo poo down on paper, counseling chits, etc. to build a paper trail to show I haven't been doing gently caress all at trying to deal with the constant issues he causes, but what the hell do I do? Every time I tell him he hosed up, he goes into a funk and shuts down and starts heaping poo poo on himself and it's just loving infuriating. He makes my DIVO look bad, my chief look bad, me look bad, he basically makes the whole shop look like poo poo. It is embarrassing as poo poo to have your CO tell you to get a handle on some junior sailor because he lost his poo poo and walked off in the middle of talking to a senior chief.

Sorry for the E/N mash of poo poo in this post, but I am just at a loss of what to do. My chief has tried to help him too, and we've talked about him at length, and neither of us know how to handle this kid, beyond referring him to mental health and making sure he goes to appointments.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but has anyone heard more about this sailor found dead at the Portsmouth Navy barracks? A good friend of mine is stationed there and we haven't talked in a few months, so I'm getting a little antsy. :ohdear: Not Navy myself, FWIW.

Alternatively, is there a way to send letters to someone stationed at a base without knowing their specific address? Same friend didn't give me one before leaving, and assuming she's OK (I hope :smith:), is there a generic address to send one to that just gets sorted out?

Thanks in advance, sorry if this is the wrong thread for it.

If we knew anything about it, we wouldn't be able to say anything as there would be an ongoing investigation.

Can anyone stationed in Atsugi give me a run down of what actually goes on there? Especially for DCmen? Also the Stennis needs Blocky, the sexual assault prevention blocktapus.

Which command are you going to? Shoot me a PM with some contact info and I will see if I can find someone at your prospective command. You just going to the base in general, as in NAF?

Have you ever been to Japan before? Do you have any dependents? Did you get 2 year with (sea) follow on of choice or 3 year orders?

Did you see the senior chief seaman recruit who got busted for disobeying an order from a superior officer, child pornography, and I think child abuse? He got 22 years in the brig. Should be in navy times, I would post links but I am on my phone ATM.

...what was the order?

No idea, I can't imagine what kind of order an officer could give regarding that.

quote:


Navy Region Southwest
?At a general court-martial in San Diego, DCCS Byron D. Reynolds pleaded guilty to disobeying a superior commissioned officer, attempted production of child pornography, sexual contact with a child, and lewd acts with a child. On March 7, the military judge sentenced him to be discharged with a dishonorable discharge, reduction in rank to paygrade E-1, and confinement for 22 years.

E: holy gently caress he was making it! Wow I feel sorry for him if word gets around about what he did while he is in jail, wait no I don't I hope he gets a shank in his back.

Does this mean we are worse than the AF again?

Man, you need to learn, Shippie. Carry a PMS card, a clipboard, and a green tool bag. Walk fast to a destination. Relax there. Walk to another one. Relax. Repeat as necessary.

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...

look at this nerd he misses it

I think more drunk texting of DH's should be done and posted for my amusement. Hell, he should go to the XO to try and apologize. Maybe write him a note and fold it into a triangle.

Flip it like a football at the XO's forehead after walking into the XO's office unannounced for good measure.

Edit: Seriously though. Ditch the PRT, it is stupid. Replace it with an "Endurance Practical" that consists of donning an FFE and SCBA, climbing down to the bottom of the live fire trainer with a hose team, and fight a simulated mainspace fire until you tap out. Your score is based on how long you last. It doesn't matter if you are a career shore sailor or not, get the gently caress in that hole.

I would unironically support this idea, if only because it is relevant to a real world scenario in the navy. Fat fucks would get owned just trying to strap into an FFE and SCBA.
