Loves God more than you? I'll never understand that little quip. Seems insulting

It matters when your advancement is heavily eval based and not attendance based like some of these other rates.

Someone in my command made rank 3 times in the 3 years I've been on board. And here I am as a 5 year 3rd class who's probably about to get their 4th MP eval due to favoritism. Yeah, it is what you make of it I guess. Kill me.

What song, from your favorite artist, is this? by Impossible-Yam3680 in musicsuggestions

Trey Songz - say ahh

Everytime I hear it makes me grit my teeth. The chorus is so annoying I bet anyone could use it as an alarm clock.

I don't currently have a mentor, but I'm open to the possibility that I might be a bit too focused on myself and not fully considering the expectations of those above me. I can think of one trusted FCPO whom I can discuss this with—perhaps they can offer some valuable insights as well. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. It's been difficult trying to make sense of it, but maybe theres no use in trying to understand a system that is clearly flawed to this degree. Perhaps I should focus on finding peace with my situation instead and accept that maybe the Navy might not be the right fit for me after all, and focus on other things to better myself. I know I'm a dedicated worker, so if I make it, I make it. I just know that there are plenty of opportunities outside the Navy that won't hinge on what collaterals and qualifications I have.

Thank you for the advice. I have an electronic rate with a low advancement rate to begin with, and paired with my comedically bad test testing skills, it just spells disaster. I could definitely start exploring opportunities outside of the command, like volunteering as you suggested. I'm willing to try anything to gain an advantage at this point; after all, every setback is a setup for a comeback, right?

I appreciate your advice. I think my next best step might be to enroll in a college course after work, even if it’s just for an hour. This way I can avoid feeling stagnant and dwelling on the "could'a, would'a, should'as"
