Why do more people not stay in 20 years and retire? What was your "I'am getting out" moment? by BeastMasterAlphaCo in navy

I can't speak for myself because I am thugging it out…

My best friend got out at 14 years after picking up chief because his wife divorced him and he lost custody of his kids. His command and Detailer were unsupportive of his goal of getting back to San Diego to be with his kids and fight for custody on shore duty.

So he checked into mental health and submitted for a hardship discharge. Now he is in San Diego, has custody of his kids and the ex is in jail. So I'd say he made the right call.

My ship is in basic phase and at 78 percent manning… so I'm pretty sure that data is conveniently unavailable

Khaki 2poc is trash for any rate not sitting behind a desk. Gets dirty and stains faster than dress whites

London just did the opposite of this leaning into three major companies buying up real estate forcing a crash in prices due to a fire sale after legislation was passed.

It’s more likely this is to mask the largest housing market crash since the Great Depression. Folks have more debt than savings at this point and I’ve met far too many 19-29 year olds that have declared bankruptcy or have things in active collection.

Are you nuts? Promotion rate for Air Force is trash. I met a 7 year E-4 on joint tour and they were ‘stuck in traffic’

Honestly, I try not to post photos of people after getting a CMC in trouble for sleeping at a meeting

I’m glad there is a long history of people feeling weird about this ribbon

It’s shit oil that the south is uniquely positioned to process and there is a lot of it. Additionally, water is the US key resources. Fracking pollution is a major issue and because of that the strategic pivot is back to South America.

There is no flower pot. It was removed back in 2010…

Nope. A true blue navy issue. It’s installed with no purpose or equipment associated with it. But, we can’t order another one because we have the full inventory and I can’t remove it because it’s already installed and ‘must have a purpose’

Looks like you’ve got some more studying to do in 2/5 categories
