If you have a chance to pitch in and do grunt work (within reason) loving do it. That goes incredibly far in the eyes of the junior guys

When we did the training it was mostly about DEERS and dudes making comments that it is messed up guys can get a tit job and go shower with girls with a boner. Along with the more hateful comments from the peckerwoods.

If someone vocalizes issues with transgendered persons serving probably 50/50 they have dudes getting railed by dick chicks in their browser history

Partially and it is a thing which I have on my to do list, yes. To be fair, I wont administer a PFA for 6 mos. The current PFA is run by the NOSC after the last CFL and staff shadily changed some numbers.

It doesnt sound too hard and it was a CO personal request. I'm just leary of what I don't know about it.

Depending on how much of a headache it is to get TAD to it do the official CFL course. A lot of CFL and ACFL's, as mentioned earlier, haven't read the instruction and don't know what they are doing. Like, at all. Learn the instruction and get assistants to help you out, I think like one per 25 sailors is the ratio but I could be wrong, and this is based off running FEP, you may not ever need to do that though.

I loving hate it, but I never volunteered for it and want to watch people fail if they can't work out on their own. A lot of folks really enjoy it. It is basically what you make of it, the admin part is very by the numbers and as long as you follow the instruction to the letter you are good when Fatty McGee says you taped their obese rear end wrong.

We had some rock talk about how do we eliminate these problems. Change our institutional culture of normalized and accepted binge drinking is not on the table. Junior personnel are afraid they will get in trouble if they get drunk and call someone for a ride. Bosses say that's absurd, but considering people get in trouble for showing up on time and being alive I can see where it comes from, even if it is absurd and unfounded. Mandatory how not to destroy your life briefing tomorrow for all hands.

We have had three DUIs in three weeks. The battalion sees a problem but you know what I see? Consistency.

In the last few weeks (we were in the field for three of them, also) my unit has had four DUIs, one of them being an underage DUI from a party who named everyone at the party so they too can go up, and a sexual assault. Some Chiefs did some things that are not so great too, but we have to think about their careers :)

It's more complicated then that. All of the watchstanders draw their authority from him. Basically he's vouching for their professional competency. It's the captain's responsibly to ensure that they are carrying out their duties properly. Thus, if it turns out that the collision is a result of improperly trained or performing watchstanders then ultimately it is the captain's fault.

I got to live this dream a few months ago. I was in the verge of being fired for a few of my sailors going off and doing something completely stupid. I was no where near the incident, and if I was I know it wouldn't have happened, but I was still held accountable because I was not intrusive enough with them to really know they knew what they were doing. It's part of the job. The whole thing falls apart if it isn't.

Did you learn a valuable lesson about personally with your own two hands ensuring Schmuckatelli's wing wang does not go inside a schoolgirl?

It also depends on the current war's optempo. My old company commander (O3), doped up on ambien, lost accountability of his sidearm on the civilian aircraft taking us home to Ft. Campbell from Afghanistan. He got his second command, running the air assault school, downgraded to a regular staff job as a result.

I saw LTs with DUIs get their O-3 and command. They pinned me O-3 when I was 24 years old, with three years time in service. They were shoving everyone up the pyramid because we were testing the "two wars at once" doctrine and not doing well at it, and because everyone eligible to separate was doing so because the experiment wasn't going so well.

Man if only I had joined in 06 out of college while I was still drinking and a mess

Gents, someone here has probably dealt with this. I'm being sent TAD for two weeks out of state, I live in the BEQ. I do not recieve BAS, should I have BAS activated, is there some kind of missed meals provision? I know the standard is "gently caress you" and "that's what per diem is for" but gently caress that, there has to be something in black and white addressing how not to get further hosed monetarily.
