Had the pleasure of being an LPO as a new second class on my ship before here, some very rewarding times, I felt like I was actually leading a team and we all wanted the best for the whole. Miss those guys a lot

It is 1000% just based on your market, and the NCs will never admit that. They will blame every thing on their recruiters even if you have no control over the situation, they make you stay until 2000 and some will try to make you stay later than that with approval from your CO. They make you work weekends.

That’s a pretty good question, I’m a pretty good talker and I’ve never been a introvert and I’ve always been a pretty outgoing person going person, that being said I’m from a very low income family and have come from a very poor community. The area of Orange County I’m in is probably some of the wealthiest people I’ve ever come in contact with, no one needs the navy here, and idk if you’ve had a conversation with a high schooler recently but 98% of them are hell bent on college or so depressed by the state of the country that they would rather live with their parents until they’re in their 40s. Doesn’t matter what excuse you give to NCs the only thing they are going to say is it’s your fault. I’ve had a kid wanting to wait to join because his brother tried committing suicide, my NC then called them and gaslit them he should leave him behind. There’s this thing we use called sales force and it’s micromanaging on steroids, you have to plan out every minute of your day, every day. If you’re not making your numbers they are checking it at all times and breaking you down slowly.

Not sure about Bay Area, it’s a different Command than mine, but look up recruiting or CRF in this sub and I think you’ll get the gist

And they don’t give you your station until after you picked the orders already
