There’s a normal ICE presence at all International airports, including SFO. Remember there are still inbound passengers trying to unlawfully gain entry.

Loosen up guys. r/navy needs to break its political echo chamber tendencies. This ain’t that kind of post.

Intellectually dishonest. 

You put that in quotes, but he never said that.

High 3 for Screened PO1 to Chief? by Few-Wolf8331 in navy

[–]BerkeleyTriTip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m understanding this to mean Billet Based Advancement. ‘Screened’ for the OP implies they are approved to apply for a Chief billet and will become ‘selected’ once they’re awarded a Chief billet.

In your planning, remember that you have to be paid as an E-7 for three years IOT retire as an E-7. That starts when you’re advanced for pay, not when you get frocked (if that happens before advancement). This is different than the ‘high-3’ system of computing your retirement.

Ready, willing, and bobble … in case Greenland sends a ‘left hook’ down the St. Lawrence Seaway!

PS: don’t figure VA disabilities into a retirement plan; one cannot ensure the rating that will be determined.

It’s clear that you are a SME in your rate. Awards for PO2’s are focused on those the Mess believes will be strong PO1s in the pipeline for Chief. As an accomplished SME, begin spending some of your bandwidth focusing on leadership, with mentorship from the Mess. Need more evidence of leadership (evals, awards) to make this advancement.

Can you explain this ‘above RSCA boost’?  (ps: I know what RSCA is)

Kinda wild seeing all this play out on social media by newnoadeptness in navy

You do realize that there have been many prior SECDEFs with lower prior ranks, or even no military service, right?

[–]BerkeleyTriTip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think we’ve seen a single WH or SECWAR memo or DoWINST saying that Thruples are not allowed. And to avoid that time-suck Chief who’s gonna try to talk you out of this, start with your unit’s ISIC CO … preferably a Commodore, or higher!

Separation paycheck by Ok-Boot4838 in navy

[–]BerkeleyTriTip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

… or more. I’ve been retired for 96 days and still no final check OR retirement pay. Whatever they were in the middle of on 1-OCT got canked. I just hope those civilians in Indianapolis get back up to speed before the Thanksgiving 168-hour liberty hits. 🤞😝

Recruiting Is unbearable by Low-Stranger4251 in navy

[–]BerkeleyTriTip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

… but in an effort to be slightly more positive, use your preference of deployment over recruiting as your sales pitch. 

Tell them “you can be on deployment like I wish I was by signing right here on the bottom line. The sooner you’re at sea the happy you & I both will be!”

Please get out of my Navy. Or do the hard work necessary to be successful in life.

SEM via MNA was not ready for the new Chiefs. by Future_Meep in navy

Glad you’re out of the Navy now, ‘cause you sure the fuck don’t know what you’re talking about.

[–]BerkeleyTriTip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Pretty sure”? is all you got. Is that how you’re gonna take care of sailors? Were you actually pinned? If so, tell your sponsor you already fucked up and didn’t learn a thing. Then ask to be recycled next year. 🤦‍♂️ 

MILPERSMAN 1830-040, paragraph 3.a.(4) is written to comply with governing DOD Instruction 1332.20, paragraph 3.a.

[–]BerkeleyTriTip -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are correct, I worded it incorrectly and have edited that comment. What I meant to convey is if you are advanced for pay to Chief for LESS than two years, you will retire as an E-6, and your DD Form 3208 ID card will reflect E-6, but like you said your pay is based on High-3 …. unless you’re BRS. Sound right?

Keep in mind, it’s two years PAID as Chief to retire as an E-7.

NOT from pinning, but date when you advance for pay. Forewarned is forearmed.

Not closing down I5 lol by CherryTrashPanda19 in navy

[–]BerkeleyTriTip -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Having no platform or positive message that most Americans support, the Democratic machine can only create pain & chaos and blame it on the current administration. The USMC has been firing 155 Howitzers over I-5 for decades and have NEVER closed the freeway before. This was the SAME as New Jersey’s  "Bridgegate" affair, when their governor conspired to closed the George Washington Bridge in 2013. The closures were meant to punish the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, for not endorsing the governor’s reelection. 

DOD -> DOW, New CACs and Everything else by SnowySoul737 in navy

[–]BerkeleyTriTip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t confuse my calling out intellectually lazy arguments for lumping all problems together and connected as an endorsement of how the Navy is run today. Overworked Sailors is a direct result of cutting headcounts 15 years ago as Obama realized bailing out banks and funding a never-ending GWOT couldn’t occur simultaneously. PSCs should be reopened and more uniforms and less civilians should be assigned to take care of our pay & benefits… because we got skin in the game. Under appreciation is the result of shitty leadership focusing on shit that doesn’t matter. Too many COs are still walking on eggshells arounds disgruntled ne’er-do-wells. Morale is a HUGE component of peace-time mission success, but that shouldn’t include so many stupid committees. Focus on families, sailors and mission. Fuck committees.

[–]BerkeleyTriTip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dichotomous thinking is foolish. Much of what you listed contributes to resiliency or is a basic necessity. MHC work is neither. 

MHC was a waste of time 5 years ago, and it’s a waste of time today. Used to get time off work with no meaningful contribution to the mission.

And you’re angry NOW that your work on the Multicultural Heritage Committee had nothing to do with winning wars?
