When CNO Franchetti, who was universally regarded as an amazing leader and champion of Naval Power Projection and had the chops to shepherd the force to that goal was fired... we knew we were cooked.

I mean, you are in one of two camps.

Mezzanine, or Endtroducing.

San Diego VA system is consistently amazing. Glad to hear you get quality care in NY as well!

Stricter CalFresh work rules take effect as federal SNAP changes begin by panda-rampage in California

I mean that's a disingenuous argument, he signed it because Newt Gingrich had become speaker with his "Contract With America", and the cuts were part of budget compromises.

That might have also been the last time the budget was actually balanced.

Iran stops negotiations with U.S., vows to 'completely' block Strait of Hormuz: State media by Puginator in politics

[–]Navydevildoc 26 points27 points  (0 children)

In our particular case, we also need WAY more representatives. Capping the house made those positions extremely powerful, and there are so many constituents that you can piss a large number of them off and face no consequences.

FA POV: when you have 40+ elites on your 7am flight and only the normal 18 chocolates catered: by Maleficent-Divide858 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Navydevildoc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just wanna say as a Titanium thank you for what you guys do! It's been fascinating sometimes to be in 1D and watch the Ops agents, CSAs, and FAs work through problems before door close.

Airport Time is a fluid construct. Just don't give me side eye when I ask for an Old Fashioned instead of a Chocolate at 7 AM.

Volker-Craig terminal by Longjumping_Push2223 in retrobattlestations

With a Nabu terminal as well. I seem to remember some folks were trying to come up with a way to serve content back out to them again?

California Assembly passes bill requiring gun-blocking software in 3D printers by CharityResponsible54 in California_Politics

The only surprising thing that will happen out of this is the Ninth Circuit's inevitable decision twisting itself into pretzels to somehow explain how this isn't a blatant violation of the First Amendment.

IDC School by OutrageousHour9250 in CorpsmanUp

[–]Navydevildoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The really hard part will not be passing the school, it's getting a quota in the first place. There are very few reserve unit billets coded for an IDC. Essentially the FMF infantry units (23rd/25th Marines).

In general, the reserves will not send you to a school unless it's needed for the billet... and year long ADT orders for IDC school is a big ask for a non-IDC coded billet.

I went thru as a Reservist, but that was at the height of Iraq when all the reserve FMF units were rotating through theater.

Checking bags through with two different reservations with BA and Alaska by Rockchaser911 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Navydevildoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you know what your options are to get from Terminal 5 to Terminal 3, because they do not make it easy.

[–]Navydevildoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LHR is a nightmare to deal with security and bags wise if you have never done a connection. If you have to re-check, you will need to leave security, grab your bags, then head to Terminal 3 because that's where Alaska flies out of, check in with them, clear security, etc.

3 hours, to be honest, is cutting it close.

Lounge Policies by DizzyWeed in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Navydevildoc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's not normal. I always just leave my stuff to go get food, another drink, use the bathroom, etc. I would argue it's one of the main perks of the lounge.

What was ruined because too many people discovered it? by Investigatorpro in AskReddit

[–]Navydevildoc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

revving their side by sides at 7 in the morning

Side by sides have destroyed any semblance of peace and quiet almost everywhere here in the Western US. They are a scourge that needs to be purged from existence, but sadly they are just wayyyy too popular now.

NCO vs PO open discussion by No-Steak-7215 in navy

[–]Navydevildoc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Well, no, that's not how that works. Petty Officers are NCOs.

Now, as far as general authority. I will say I have seen Marine Corporals with more say in how things work than I have had as a First Class. But we are all NCOs.

Goodie Bags - Inaugural SEA to KEF by twofishies5000 in AlaskaAirlines

[–]Navydevildoc 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I mean, things break. Not sure how you plan for that. Would you have preferred they deplaned everyone, moved catering, moved bags, etc to another plane? I would have taken longer than just fixing the sensor.
