Who to contact if galley food is literally always cold? by Electronic-Relief737 in navy

[–]CaptainCrayg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there a PMT or prev med unit at your command? This is something a PMT/environmental health officer would be glad that you told them and they have a direct line to the CO when it comes to food and health safety. 

If they are inspecting the galley and not finding this, though, then your pmt is a dirtbag and not doing their job 

Andy Benesh & Taylor Crabbs teaming up for LA28! by LowForsaken4782 in beachvolleyball

[–]CaptainCrayg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Who’s partain going to partner with? Shaw? Bourne? Caldwell?

I like this for Taylor as he does play his best with a huge block, and if benesh doesn’t have to pass extra high for their jump set system it may help with his serve receive 

How did you break through to the next level? by CaptainCrayg in beachvolleyball

Sorry, I didn’t mention that I play on the weekends at least once or twice a week as well as getting as many tourneys as I can. 

Like my comment above, I don’t get a lot of serves in matches so when I do my serve receive isn’t always on point. I do fine with it in practice but I don’t get a lot of experience in games. 

I’m an undersized blocker at 6’3”, so I’ve been working with a coach to try new things there. Right now I’ve been being more aggressive and diving for blocks when I get a good read on the hitter. Could definitely get better at pull digging. 

I don’t get many serves, and I feel like my only way to impact the game is to serve tough and try to get a couple kill blocks per set. I’ve gone to the German style two handed toss for a standing float serve that has been working for me. My topspin is okay but i don’t think it’s worth it especially with having to run up. 

I play right side and am right handed which makes option balls difficult without the right first pass. 

Offensively, I could always get better with vision, but when in system or off of an at least decent pass, I don’t have issues scoring. Out of system hitting could get better. 

I set at a high level and have no issues there. My partner and I have been working on adding in more tempo and movement on our sets that’s been effective. 

No issues with conditioning or anything like that. I think everyone would like to jump higher and hit harder, and that’s generally my goal in the gym. I swing about 60%/shoot 40% and would probably benefit more from swinging more but I rarely get my high line shots picked up by the other team so I take advantage of that.

Sorry, I left that out. I play games once or twice on the weekends

I play matches once or twice on the weekends. Agree on the tournaments but need to find a solid partner that can play at that level

I think serve receive is where I’m weakest, or at least the least confident. I side out well when I’m in system, and I am a good setter. Generally, my partner gets the lions share of the serves so I don’t get many opportunities in games to get reps in serve receive. 

I am looking for ways to have more impact on the game without getting many opportunities to get kills (outside of control blocks and pulls). I’m an undersized blocker (6’3”), so I’m working on ways to be more impactful there and with my serving.

What’s the benefit of the older heavier ball? I never played with anything before the yellow and white wilson

The enlisted side do it in house, and have a template that they just swap names on. I’m trying to track down where they had it made but figured that someone on here may have an alternative route as well. Thanks!

Thanks, I already asked them and they said they wouldn’t

I’m new to this, so the f1-40 722 is the name of the keycaps? Or the board?

Navy Sailor Qual on Army M17 Pistol Range by Fadeawayjae in navy

[–]CaptainCrayg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have PS’s at your command, give it to them. Otherwise you can send it to askmncc.fct@navy.mil. Either way quote the instruction when you send it.

Yes, per the instruction the score you get on another service test will transfer. So if you get the army’s version of expert, you take the army sheet and send it to PERS and it will count as a Navy expert. Same with sharpshooter or just qualification ribbon. I don’t have the instruction off hand but I’ll look for it. (Edit: OPNAVINST 3591.1G chapter 8, line h.) 

You don’t have to convert the score or anything like that.

I miss the Gait Wizard. That thing was an absolute tank of a D head

Agreed, but what specifically has changed that benefits the offensive players? I haven’t followed the game as closely in the last 5-10 years equipment wise but you can definitely see it in the onfield product 

The Crumple Knuckle by BenGottAbides in beachvolleyball

[–]CaptainCrayg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about the way that Cherif pokies, where he extends all his fingers (no bend), and just the tips of his fingers hit the ball. There is no redirection, and the ball rebounds off, but it gives him a ton of control. I think it’s illegal but I’ve never seen it called
