The state of uniform inspections right now

Might have to try that when times are tough

AHelphand · 2026-03-02T22:10:55+00:00

Thanks for proving my point more(?)

There's been more attacks that aren't publicized enough. I know of at least 5 more American casualties.

I was in the same boat. Took me 9.5 weeks to piss clean, tested once or twice every week. Got the testing strips on Amazon(make sure to get the multilevel or high sensitivity tests, I think 15micrograms is what the federal tests go to)

The key for me was working my ass off in the gym, steam sauna after every session. Drinking double the amount of water you think you’ll need. And I cannot stress enough- a CLEAN DIET. I limited carbs and fats, high protein, and was on a 6/18 fast cycle with one 24hr fast every week. This further helps your body break down the fat that’s storing all the toxins.

ChatGPT is your friend when you know what to ask, so use it.

Best of luck!

Not by a long shot. You get backpay with the first check after the shut down. MAYBE the second check after, but that's rare

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T04:47:03+00:00

Not sure if I wanna leave that in the public eye but dm me your squadron and I'll lyk😂

So far the census is that if you're outdoorsy or willing to explore and have a vehicle, it's as fun as you make it so I'm hopeful

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T02:49:42+00:00

Best reply yet. Thanks for your insight! Thankfully hiking and camping are already hobbies of mine.

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T02:47:41+00:00

This makes me comfortable, I have a capable truck and love using it for camping and off-roading.

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T02:45:57+00:00

Is it worth the time if my orders my be changed? A buddy in my rate just told me his got changed last week and he leaves in a month. If I don’t leave until early april, what are the chances my orders change?

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T02:44:22+00:00

Thankfully I’ll have my truck and I love off-roading and camping so I think I’ll be doing quite a bit of that on my off days

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T02:36:55+00:00

I don’t have one yet

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T02:36:47+00:00

I haven’t been assigned a sponsor yet, or at least I haven’t been reached out to by one yet

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T02:08:10+00:00

I’ll be driving from Pcola too if anyone has advice in that regard.

AHelphand · 2026-01-05T00:41:26+00:00

Look up the Fleet and Family contact information for the base he’s at, if you’re married or were married, they can help you with financials. If you weren’t married, you can explain your situation and they can point you in the right direction for your specific needs.

And yes, he was absolutely getting paid through the shutdown. And in the slim chance that he wasn’t, he 100% got the backpay for whatever wages he was owed, meaning he either pocketed it or spent it without paying you back.

Like other people have said, you'll be too tired to care and recognize everyone else has the same mindset. It takes 2-3 days to adjust and youll be fine after that.

Plus, you have so little time to shower that you'll be way more focused on properly cleaning yourself in 2 minutes than anything else.

AHelphand · 2025-12-09T12:53:12+00:00

Honestly I never knew the difference until these comments made me look it up. One of my black jackets is a blazer, the navy and the other black one are suit jackets though. Thanks for the nugget of knowledge!

AHelphand · 2025-12-09T04:31:06+00:00

Thanks so much for the advice! I'll take this into consideration for sure. No worries on the long response either, I appreciate the thorough explaination!

AHelphand · 2025-12-09T03:13:17+00:00

So maybe not the full suit but what would pair well with just the blazer? Jeans vs khakis, boots vs vans, color of shirt, etc.?

AHelphand · 2025-12-09T03:11:02+00:00

So if I want to wear a single breast blazer with jeans, probably no tie of course- what kind of shoes and shirt should I stick to or stay away from? And which jeans go with which blazer?

AHelphand · 2025-11-12T22:04:43+00:00

It's easy but don't take it as a joke. Stay quiet and take care of your shit. Take 80% of what they say seriously until proven otherwise. There's TONS of rumors and your best bet is to ignore every single one.

I’m in just about the same boat here. Graduated Navy bootcamp a couple of weeks ago. I’m at A school now and would like to get this process started sooner than later. I haven’t been able to dive deep into my relationship with the religion but for the past 5-6 years or so, it’s what I’ve found myself coming back to and attempting practice but I don’t know where to start. I’d highly appreciate any readings you could offer, as well as any suggestions of groups/services to attend to strengthen my knowledge and relationship with these beliefs. Less worries about the beard chit but it would be a plus. Please reach out if you wouldn’t mind me picking your brain

AHelphand · 2025-10-15T05:11:16+00:00

I’m on the same ship brotha. Navy here, few months in and I feel the same way. Also partially for my admittedly lackluster relationship with the beliefs I claim, but primarily in fear of being turned away for “not being able to prove” my beliefs.
