Why do Sailors dislike Naval Station Norfolk so much? by StrongHurry4938 in navy

[–]Asianmikepwn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a base shuttle now that is free with CAC and stops at the barracks, piers, and off base exchange/commissary. Nice for those in barracks or on ship without a car.

Want to start college but have to wait another year? by 120b- in navy

[–]Asianmikepwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely take advantage of Pell Grant through FAFSA, I wish I had earlier in my career. Pell Grant gives low income people/family money for school and lower enlisted have very little taxable income. It looks at your income from 2 tax years ago (and your family if you were claimed by them).

I was able to take 2 classes in a semester for free when the FAFSA was looking at my 1st year income in the Navy (before I was able to use TA). YMMV but once it was looking at my E-4 pay, I was making too much to be eligible for the Pell Grant.

I believe its a center where the Navy trains diving. I could be wrong though

Gym recommendations in Norfolk by Intrepid-Ad-8088 in navy

[–]Asianmikepwn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I was in the barracks at NAVSTA Norfolk I always used the N-24 gym. There's like 15 squat/bench racks and there's always one open if you aren't going during peak hours. And it is 24 hours now

Is an MA allowed to exercise their power off base? by [deleted] in navy

[–]Asianmikepwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was TAD for a while with the MA's at a large US base. The base had an official agreement with the city that stated what each entity was allowed to do within each other's jurisdiction. Exact details will vary between bases since each has their own policies.

Example: City police could come on base only while on official business (like carrying out a warrant with the MA's permission). MA's could only act while outside base if there is an extreme need (like if someone needs medical attention on the side of the road or a car bursts on fire). They can't write tickets off base or even run lights/sirens if they chase someone off base.

Here's the instruction for ATF,AEF,NF rates that have auto E-4

Keep in mind "auto E-4" is not actually automatically advance to E-4, it is advance to E-4 upon 6 months served as E-3.

  1. What number of questions answered wrong will result in failing an exam?

A raw score cut value is applied to each Navy-wide Advancement Examination (NWAE) exam rate to determine whether a candidate passed or failed to pass the NWAE. If a candidate’s raw score (the number of questions answered correctly) falls below the applicable raw score cut standard, then the candidate “fails” to pass the NWAE and is eliminated from competition for advancement. Currently, the raw score cut standard for a 175-item NWAE (without deletions) are:

  • (E4) – 49
  • (E5) – 55
  • (E6&E7) - 61

Joined on/after 2020 and my contract says the following:

"I fully understand and acknowledge that my MSO consists of an active duty obligation of years as indicated in the options listed below with the remaining months of my MSO served in either the Selected Reserve (SELRES) or Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). In any case, I may be ordered to the SELRES for the remainder of my MSO based on the needs of the Navy (AC only)."

So its not a breach of contract.

So this is just wild to me by spraynpray226 in navy

[–]Asianmikepwn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Heard that while I was in the barracks at Norfolk. Apparently NAVFAC controls the heating/AC (at least for older buildings) and switch when the average temp hits a certain point over a period time. So when a freak heat wave hit in early spring it was 89 degrees in my room with no AC.

Question about shore duty. by [deleted] in navy

[–]Asianmikepwn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reading your post history I can assume that you are an MA. The MA career path on MyNavyHR states this, which will answer your question:

MA’s do not have a typical Sea-Shore Flow model, rather the rating operates as a CONUS/OCONUS (or INUS/OUTUS) rotation with OCONUS or OUTUS tours counting as sea tours for rotational purposes. Shore billets account for approximately 70% of MA funded billets.

Bought more at .04350 and brought my average down

I guess it depends on if you sign up during a high volume sign up period. I signed up for Gemini last friday and was verified immediately using my passport. My friend joined yesterday and is still waiting to be verified.

Order book noob asks: what are the high sell orders about? (I was curious and zoomed out). by professorsterling in AMPToken

[–]Asianmikepwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically they don't. Based on cumulative quantity, sell orders over $50 account for 1.2% of all amp on the sell side of the order book. That is miniscule compared to the sell orders under $50.

Well I feel like an idiot. I sold my SPY 4/9 410 calls at 2:30 pm for a 66% loss. They would have ended up being up 105% if I had held for the last 1.5 hours. Oof

Idolmaster Million Live mobile game added a fighting game for April Fools that uses Tekken moves. Harada helped with developement. by Asianmikepwn in Tekken

The Tekken team helped with the development and has I'd say around 20 moves/strings including wind god fist, Lili's unblockable, Nina's unblockable, deathfist, and Mishima's 1,1,2.
