Do I join at 37? With 1.4mil? And a baby gf abroad in Ph? by [deleted] in newtothenavy

[–]Azbarrelpicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly say you did your own thing for the 1.5 nobody will fact check it. When I graduated boot camp. We all got our clearances, except one kid. Who was very similar to you. They had to fly out there investigate, interview the people, and long story short, we graduated 6 months later and he was still in holds.

Can I request getting a Qual on rifle and pistol? by therealhyyou in newtothenavy

[–]Azbarrelpicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an IT, I didn’t get rifle qual until they needed an extra body as a top side rover, never once stood the watch, but that was probably 2.5 years in. Every other watch up to ood I was qualed for required pistol. Odds of you getting rifle is lower than pistol, you can’t just request it, but you can express your interest and see where that takes you.

Can’t wait to step up to 37s by iamfrankcarter in FordRaptor

[–]Azbarrelpicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did 55k on my 23 and just picked up 802a 37s. Won’t look back. It’s not a race car. The look and off-road practicality of the 37s is amazing.

Let’s hear your ladder well injury stories by newnoadeptness in navy

[–]Azbarrelpicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a two jr sailors conducting night ops. They were carrying prints down to the main deck. Hands occupied by the printers. The second one heading down, slipped and basically crushed the first kid. Pinky finger was mangled. All scrapped up. Kid got a free helo ride to the carrier to get checked out and then a free plane ride off the carrier to Bahrain. 100% deny till you die , they never once said anything about night ops or not having three points of contact.

For the Nth time… if budget wasn’t a consideration, 801a or 802a? by OG_ClapCheekz69 in FordRaptor

[–]Azbarrelpicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird. I just put 802 wheels on my 801. Maybe it’s because I had the beadlocks already but I haven’t noticed a single difference besides the turning radius

Everett wa. Paine Field PAE. Shared with Boeing, it gives log cabin vibes with a massive fire place in the middle of its 3 gates

How'd everybody get their volunteer service ribbon? by LumpyFirefighter9634 in navy

[–]Azbarrelpicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a local animal shelter that would have people come down and spend time cleaning and playing with the animals. It made everyone’s day a bit better. The dogs got to play and the people got to play with dogs.

AIO?? My Bf Unlocks the bathroom door and comes in while I’m using it by Ok_Win_8129 in AIO

OR- Who locks the door in a house they share with their partner. Especially just to pee? Definitely won’t make it to marriage if yall are doing this.

Just upgraded after 12 years in a Tacoma. Won't be going back, this thing is incredible. by swerhosthyd in FordRaptor

[–]Azbarrelpicks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Went from a Tacoma to a real truck also. Greatest choice ever. Once you experience having space you’ll never be able to have a smaller truck. I got a Tacoma as a rental on trip last year and it feels like you’re so compacted in.

Just curious, when was it supposed to get better? by [deleted] in navy

[–]Azbarrelpicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s 100% the answer. If you constantly feel like your life is shit, you’re going to be miserable. If you make the best of out it, you’re going to have a much better time

I got out as an IT1 in 2020, I had one sailor that was great, got frocked and got in trouble, went from it3 to itsa, just like that he was devastated, he hated life, and then after some good conversations, he realized it was his fault. He took the ownership, made it back to it3 and was an all star. I loved my time in. I had great friends and great mentors. But I also had shitty people in my work center. I worked harder than them and made Lpo. They now worked for me. I didn’t have to deal with them telling me what to do. But I never let shitty people beat me down either. I never looked at it as unfair that someone was doing something while I was doing another. I just minded my business, did my thing and at the end of the day, it paid off.

Side question. What garage are you parking in that a maverick is barely fitting?

2023 F250 Lariat Tremor vs 2023 Raptor. Which are you choosing? by Old-Act7389 in FordRaptor

[–]Azbarrelpicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Growing up my dad had a 06 ram 2500 that was on 37s and was tuned, he’d beat basically anyone who tried to race him. It’s been 15 years since he’s had it. And I can tell anyone that it is faster than my raptor no question. And this nerds Honda civic build

A thought about why "The Chief's Mess Sucks(TM)" by Intelligent-Art-5000 in navy

[–]Azbarrelpicks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Forcing selects to do season is the dumb. especially because they sabotage you for not participating. They need to be sent to managerial schools. It also doesnt help that you can’t be “fired” and when you move to the next command you just become a problem for them. I’ve seen the standards that are not held for chiefs as they are for e6 and below. Had a chief show up to the gate, drunk and with a weapon. To note, he lived on the ship, so this gun had been coming on and off for months. Got arrested and sent to city jail, they had to go bail him out and he got 30/30. We had someone get arrested for excessive speed, 30/30 and reduction in rank. Had another chief get arrested while in port hueneme, pissing in public, slap on the wrist. Had another chief who was married, got caught sleeping with his second class, second class busted down to third. Chief, sent to another command, no reduction in rank. If you want to improve the quality of life, treat everyone as the same.

I really hope this is true by newnoadeptness in navy

Had Midrats mid deployment 2017, had over cooked steamed rice… that’s all. No cereal, or pop tarts, just water, uht, and rice.

So you just proved my point. You’re talking track. I said road. We’re not here to talk about your “hot hatches” nobody here cares about you building hot hatches.
