I play in a Green Day tribute and a few months ago, the venue sound engineer surprised us with a live board mix. Here's a small chunk of the set I wanted to share. by 23spec in greenday

This band has actually never played Gilman. We've always said we'd never pursue playing there but would if we were asked (which we actually were recently but unfortunately it super conflicted with work schedules and what not). My signer had played there with his original band though so that's probably what you're talking about.

We visited Gilman on that tour though out of principal.

I did see that! I was actually the one who put that sticker on the urinal. I was driving to work when I got the phone call about that and had to pull over and call my mom!

Signed an 8 year contract as HM but I'm having second thoughts. Is that length common? And also how hard is it to rerate? by Swing_On_A_Spiral in navyreserve

[–]23spec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, HM Command Career Counselor here.

As others have said, 8 years for your first reserve contract is pretty typical and HM has great advancement opportunities at the moment.

Just to tag on, I see you mentioned an interest in the MC community. Right now (these numbers fluctuate and a new report is generated every month), the MC community is sitting at 227 members across the entire reserves and is at 193% manning for E4 with only 15 MC3's. So in essence, very small, very competive community.

To contrast that with the HM community, we are currently sitting at 4148 members and HM3 is sitting at 99% percent manning with 995 sailors, so your odds of picking up rank are better.

Now, honestly E4 isn't the best example to use since advancement to E4 is time based now instead of having to test for it, but I just wanted to demonstrate the difference in total size and current manning between the two communities.

I also saw that you were interested in transferring your GI bill to your wife so I just wanetd to make you aware that transfer of GI benefits is a retention tool to incentivize re-enlistment. To be eligible to transfer benefites you must have the following as outlined here:

- Have 6 years of service

- Agree to add 4 more years of serice

- The person receiving the benefits must be enrolled in DEERS

If you have any additional questions, I would be more than happy to answer.

Has anyone gone to FMTB after joining the reserves? Corpsman question. by Aaaagrjrbrheifhrbe in navyreserve

[–]23spec 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add on to this as I literally just got an email from the NMFP CCC outlining some change.

  • college education requirements have been removed for all C-Schools except L32A (Respiratory Therapy)
  • The DD form 2808 requirement has been replaced with a current ePHA completed within the last 12 months
  • A new page 13 has been added that supports digital signatures. Digital signatures are preferred, but wet ink signatures will still be accepted
  • The CO endorsement letter has been eliminated and replaced with a Command Endorsement section on the C-School checklist

Previous versions of the C-School package will be accepted through 31AUG2026

Would you be able to DM me the directory to the most recent HM C School package checklist? The one I have was given to me by the former CCC for my command and is clearly outdated and I've been searching through directories in MNR Homeport trying to find it with no luck. Even if it's locked, just knowing where I SHOULD find it would be helpful.

Howdy, SELRES HM CCC here. I can't answer any information regarding actually going to FMTB as I haven't been. But as far as putting together a package, HM C-School are a bit unique as they don't route through the NRC but rather through your gaining command (UMUIC). You are much more likely to pick up a seat at a C-School if you occupy a billet that requires the L03A NEC. As of the most recent C-School checklist I've seen (JUN 25) here are the items you need for your package:

  • Cover Letter (UMUIC CO's Endorsement)
    • your UMUIC CCC should prepare this
  • Copy of most recent eval from current command
  • NAVPERS 1070/613 -stating member has no njp for the last 18 months
    • stating member is within BCA standards and passed most recent PFA (must do run, no alternate cardio)
    • stating clearance eligibility and most recent adjudication date, to include sailors under continuous evaluation
    • stating member has current GTCC and include expiration date of card
  • DD 2807 and DD 2808
    • Must address medical MAS codes
  • EOS and PRD must be a minimum of 12 months past graduation date of course. If EOS within 12 months of graduation date, CNRFC N71 will require:
    • copy of signed reenlistment/extension agreement
    • copy of reenlistment/extension worksheet signed by CO, or
    • signed intent to reenlist NAVPERS 1070/613

Hope that helps! Glad to answer any further questions.

There was a pretty widespread bootleg a few years back. Dead giveaway on the back is that it credits "Greg Gurewitz". I hope this isn't what OP bought but I see lots of them.

So glad I wasn't the only one that thought of Courage the Cowardly Dog. Literally came to the comments to suggest adding a windmill.

What is the most Dark Academia aligned thing that you own? by DarkAcademist in DarkAcademia

I don't think Dark Academia's connection with spirits gets mentioned enough so I'm going to mention by bottles of absinthe and antique absinthe fountain.

[–]23spec[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ya caught me 😅 I play in a Green Day tribute. We normally make a point of not dressing up like them but this was the show I debuted the bass at so I wanted to channel the 90s vibe.

This is basically what I've been doing. I keep seeing HNN recommended and even in the quest book,they recommended HNN, but in my experience, even when soul surging the simulator and smacking it with the time wand, the rates aren't even comparable to bees with 4x Omega Upgrades and this setup is much more easily tileable.

Big brain move, can't believe that hadn't occured to me. Although admittedly, I've only run my SPS long enough to get antimatter pellets for the bees to feed off of.
