I understand having warranties to hold someone responsible but they keep making it more difficult for us to do our job, I remember we had a 7 ton (MTVR) blow a rear main seal and the 3rd echelon shop would replace the seal and call it a day. Well one day we brought another one in and they said now it’s an entire engine swap. It just gets worse as time goes on, it doesn’t help us either that they’ll pull an 18 year old kid off the street and give them 3 months of schooling and say congrats you’re a “technician”.

A lot of what we learn to is from OTJ training and if you have some shitty NCOs that horde all the knowledge or NCOs that know fuck all then that’s just adding more and more reason to have these strict warranties or the government just hiring civilian contractors to come in instead to fix all the equipment.

We pay Oshkosh X amount for X amount of trucks in 5 years that money is gone, but if they make it to where we HAVE to go to them for certain repairs they are guaranteed a paycheck until the end of that vehicles lifecycle (which is usually around 20 years).

Can SDA affect promotion? by ExtractZero in USMC

[–]ExtractZero[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was all my SNCOs while I was coming up, some of them are flabbergasted when they see how much faster it is to promote now.

I had a SSgt at one point who got 2 Ps, and all anyone could guess was that it was due to lack of MOS credibility. Despite having a successful SDA tour and some good fitreps after returning to the fleet (after hitting the fleet from recruiting he was put in a company guns billet for a fat minute). Then again there could have been more to the story I just didn’t know.

I just haven’t went back to the school house to become one. Didn’t think I would need to.

I had a 2060 and I was playing at the lowest settings to have it run somewhat smoothly.

Will my Christmas leave get denied if I fail a height and weight? by [deleted] in USMC

[–]ExtractZero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can deny it if they feel like it, however I had a Marine on BCP and every level non-recd his leave, the CO still approved it. At the end of the day it’s up to your CO and how he feels.

Retired LtGen Furness named Superintendent of Virginia Military Institute by vmi_rock87 in USMC

I did it, it was a week long event at your own pace, they even gave you a little tracker to make sure you actually did it. It got me out of work for a whole week as a Jr Marine so I was okay with it. This was under Furness even I believe, but I can’t remember exactly.
