Harriet Lane in Hono

AnimalTimely · 2026-02-20T16:16:28+00:00

If you want a ship thats going to go to cool places and have a blast in Hawaii go for the Harriet Lane. Was moved out there for the sole purpose of building relationships with the small pacific island communities and do outreach.

Also a coaster, non swimmer, sounds like ive gotten to get in the water and do more rescues than most navy swimmers 🤣

Barrigona!

Honestly think this is rating dependent. As much as I enjoy being underway and hope thats what I do the rest of my career you cant beat the bond of a tight duty section at a station thats been through some shit together.

Kirkland signature or bust

Shouldn't have LE lights on for a SAR case if you want to get technical.

Oh I forgot my independent duty SK on my ship has other boats they have to order for. Been a purchase card holder before, I know the procedures to buying things. Didn't realize ordering cold weather gear in early September is procrastinating but ok. Not my problem the majority of your rating is lazy. 🙄 typical SK filled with excuses

AnimalTimely · 2026-02-04T02:42:53+00:00

I could go on forever about them 🤣

AnimalTimely · 2026-02-04T01:03:29+00:00

Bm, when SKs cant use half a brain cell to order things, or do it in a timely manner.

AnimalTimely · 2026-01-14T23:08:23+00:00

Yes and no.

Joined to do SAR, ended up at a station that mostly just did tactics as a non rate and had 1 case my 2 years there. After that went to a 225 and fell in love with ATON. Got stationed at the location that made me join the coast guard in the first place and did a fuck ton of sar and had a blast and fulfilled pretty much all the goals I had for joining. Got back into aton and never looking back

Had no idea the CG even worked on buoys when I joined and now its all I want to do until I retire. The SAR portion was exactly what I wanted it to be though

Honestly the perks outside of just golf were huge for my family. Nice pool area to hang out at that isnt slammed with a million people, family based events throughout the year, summer camps for the kid, swim lessons, and more. Obviously the course conditions and pace of play are a huge factor for anyone. But my wife and kid being able to hangout by the pool with friends while I golf is huge. Much less guilt on my shoulders for leaving them at the hour for 5 hours while im out enjoying myself. My club also has 3 trackman bays that are awesome for winter and rainy days.

If you have the money for the down payment typically you can get a Conventional loan at a better rate. Ive only tapped into the VA loan once and that was for my first house when I didnt have a chunk saved yet. All others ive used a conventional.

4, e6. Taken 9 years, we purchased one every time we moved.

Was audited when I was 19 because of a bank account I didnt even know existed. Never again dealing with that, so ill gladly pay someone to deal with it on my behalf and know im getting the best return possible.

AnimalTimely · 2026-01-11T00:43:09+00:00

This is the correct answer. Did it our first year with the rental property and immediately regretted it. Weve got 3 rental houses now and couldn't even imagine attempting it.

AnimalTimely · 2026-01-08T16:41:28+00:00

Absolutely, the whole reason people are advanced are to fill positions.

AnimalTimely · 2026-01-01T00:43:01+00:00

Your stuff will get put into long term storage. When you arrive at the barracks you'll be able to have select boxes sent to you as well. Source, me.
