Doesnt sound any different than 8 years ago when I left other than a CO screaming about the patriarchy. Getting out is good

ElMaligno posted:i have 9 years to go I’d be retiring next year and left at 11 years almost on the day. It was a rough call at the time but after reading everything all of you have said, plus the few folks I keep in touch with ... nah. A civil service retirement is gonna go a lot further anyway. I get it tho, and hope all of you can get out on your own / favorable terms as soon as you can

nwin posted:Replying to a meme with a meme. Holy moly has something changed about the discharge process where they can just rando do an unsuitability discharge or something? That really sucks, but the only surprising thing is that it took this long for someone to publicly get kicked out over memes. drat

Lmao I’m sorry you guys if it makes you feel any better it’s at least as bad on the civil service (not CG specific) side where I’m at

nwin posted:It’s probably the same as it always has been to some degree. Our top people are leaving in favor of better prospects outside the coast guard where they don’t have to move all the time or be treated like a kid. To a degree, but with where I sit now things have gotten far worse in a completely different service with much more money and [somehow] even more feckless leadership. Can’t imagine being active duty these days. Grass is greener as a civilian, but only just. I liked being underway and moving every few years, it was the “being treated like a kid” part that won’t get fixed. Good on all of you for sticking it out.

Lmao on my way out the door more than ten years ago the last memo I signed was forwarding a PIO package to cgis for action. Guy at least went to jail for two years but he had a string of allegations going back almost 10 years that just kept getting worse the more people I interviewed. I made the recommendation in here or elsewhere that the mil hand off UCMJ administration and execution and got laughed at re autonomy but I stand by my recommendation. Ain’t much better on the outside, but the mil investigating the mil is on par with cops investigating cops

Steezo posted:I still think a separate military judiciary is a good idea, but the reasons it's s good idea are also why it won't happen. I got it then and I get it now, but I work for a different service and in a very different capacity. I don’t think the mil is staffed for the work and when I say that I mean I don’t think the average PIO or CGIS SA is frankly up to the task of putting together a durable investigation package. Mix that up with career concerns of the people doing every bit of this work — to include the way the JAG corps manages performance — and I don’t think this kind of poo poo is particularly surprising. The best “mil autonomy” version looks like an isolated and independent function of some DoD agency that doesn’t exist that can’t solely be uniformed people or else we’re back to career stuff interfering

nwin posted:I’m kinda done with this service. CPA can be situationally helpful for GS side if the job you’re interested in is an actual 0510 series job. With your current grade and background you should be able to walk into a 13 or 14 job pretty easily, and definitely competitive for 15s. That said real 0510 accountant jobs are generally in short supply because you don’t need all your ERP button pressers to be CPAs. Mostly they’re in audit with some notable exceptions. IRS work sounds really loving grueling and awful.

nwin posted:I haven’t seen a GS leave to get a job in the private sector. In technical fields it tends to happen quite a bit. It’s why pay bands on weird schedules like STRL and acqdemo became a thing in the late 90s. There is significant braindrain in the technical ends of civil service and in the non-technical side pressure is starting to build because in many locality areas nobody south of a GS-12 can afford to live within 100 miles. CG has a tiny proportion of the work being done by civilians in comparison to DoD components so it’s probably not as visible.
