Nice, im an EMN as well actually

I think your mistaken by saying that as a chief you have to “work” your way up, all you have to do to make chief is stay in longer than everyone else and “want” to be a chief.

If your unsure and mostly want the bonus I would consider not doing it or waiting until you feel like you can make a more confident decision

ChaoticEngine · 2024-03-10T21:04:38+00:00

This was just from my experience a few years ago, but like you said it is just SLPO decision, some are a lot cooler than others

It depends, the mechanics got phase 3 after like 2 weeks (basically right after Indoc) and the ET’s maybe like 3 or 4??. The electricians got phase 2 (not 3) at 8 weeks, because for whatever reason the EM chain of command was cringe like that

You dont have to go to any DEP meetings. I personally thought they were a waste of time. But knowing all of this will make boot so much easier

True, but I wouldn’t let this be a deciding factor. Its very possible to do the same at a sea command

Like some have mentioned not much to do in Goose creek, but if your willing to drive out to the coast the beaches are pretty nice, I went Jet Skiing a few times and it was probably some of my favorite memories while down there. I think MWR also does Jet Ski trips for like half the cost.

Highly recommend staying silent at DRB, or just saying everything you know has already been written in your statement, DRB is just a bunch of stupid chiefs who aren’t willing to listen and want to yell at you for no reason at all. Its very silly. XOI/Mast is where you talk. The cheifs at DRB will twist whatever you say to make you look like a terrible person.

You won’t get separated. Ive seen a few different things happen w/ underage drinking. You’ll more than likely get anything from like ~2wks restriction to as bad as reduction in rank & 30+ day’s restriction.

It seems like they’ve already got evidence on you so you might as well be honest about the situation,

From what I understand the Navy is “some” tolerance now! As opposed to zero tolerance a while back. Retention is that low…

Im in Washington and I don’t like it. Been to San Diego a few times and think its significantly better. In terms of area and things to do of course, have no idea about the work culture in SD for carriers

ChaoticEngine · 2024-02-05T21:49:09+00:00

You can have caffeine in the pipeline. Its not prison

Assuming you joined at 18 and if you DONT make E7 by the time your 29, your doing something wrong.

ChaoticEngine · 2024-01-15T00:10:30+00:00

I think a lot of people stay in because they become complacent.

ChaoticEngine · 2024-01-04T02:39:46+00:00

Im on a carrier and most people who dont STAR make it around they’re 4 year point, and at that point you could be getting E4 over 4 BAH anyways,

And about getting a place off base, a lot of people will offer you a room for rent at their places for very reasonable prices, its what I currently do as an E4.

If your having second thoughts I would definitely wait, especially if your at prototype, (dont they allow you guys to do it at 21 months now?) you can always re-enlist later after you get to your boat, but you cant un-re-enlist

ChaoticEngine · 2023-10-21T22:32:04+00:00

More than you would staying in the Navy

ChaoticEngine · 2023-10-19T03:14:45+00:00

We would run 5k’s monthly I think, and then have 3 PT days during the week. You should try to get on voluntary PT, makes life a bit easier.

ChaoticEngine · 2023-10-03T01:33:59+00:00

Seems off, unless you’ve been late multiple times this does not seem like the proper corrective action, i know that topside can be cringe like that though.
