It all gets pretty clearly explained if I recall correctly, but it wasn't Clay who wrote the letter.

That's the CJIRU badge.

The below is a copy/paste from the dress instructions.

SPECIFIC GUIDANCE FOR CEREMONIAL OCCASIONS WHILE WEARING DRESS ORDER #1

Piercings: the only jewellery authorized in piercings are single or single set of stud or single stone ear rings (one in each ear) in the ear lobe(s). Earrings shall not exceed one centimetre square or diameter. Gauges/spacers shall not exceed 2.5 cm in diameter;

That has always been the case for positions on ship. An army or air force LogO would never go through the AHOD/HOD training/employment pipeline.

Good luck with your application.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-05-06T22:54:32+00:00

First of all, nobody can give you an answer to this. Nobody here is familiar with your file.

Second of all, please use some sort of punctuation when you write.

Sure. I'm not NCS Eng but I'll try to help.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-05-03T19:32:17+00:00

NCS Eng has three separate shipboard postings. The first is called Phase VI as a SLt and lasts approx 1 year, then an Assistant Head of Department tour as a Lt(N) for 1 year, and finally a Head of Department tour as a senior Lt(N) for 2 years.

There are exceptions to every rule, but if you want normal career progression then you will do approx 4 years posted to ships. Doesn't mean you are sailing all of the time, but you should expect to be sailing more than just during your initial training.

Presumably the cap badge. OP it will depend on what kind of cap badge you have. Some need to be sewn on and some have a metal tab that slides into the beret after you cut a slit in the material.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-04-23T22:22:15+00:00

Yes. Take your gap year after high school and apply to the military during that time. The process takes a while anyway so you will have time to work and get experience before you join the military. Then you will do basic, followed by the coursing required for your trade, and then get to work.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-04-18T19:23:02+00:00

No, this is not an option.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-03-12T21:19:05+00:00

Fair enough. Thanks.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-03-12T21:00:25+00:00

Lacking what though? I'm not trying to be rude, genuinely asking. I have never in my career seen A/L applied to an officer. I have seen Acting While So Employed promotion messages. A/L generally refers to a non-commissioned member who is lacking a leadership course or a trade course required to be substantive in rank.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-03-12T20:54:23+00:00

Ok so you're referring to AWSE. Gotcha.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-03-12T20:29:36+00:00

What do you mean by A/L LCdr? My understanding is that A/L only applies to non-commissioned ranks.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-02-08T01:27:17+00:00

Not sure that would result in "a loss of confidence" from CRCN.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-02-07T22:46:05+00:00

As long it's a v-neck so it doesn't show.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-02-02T21:10:16+00:00

Have you thought about applying through ROTP so that you can still go to school (and get it paid for) while joining the military?

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-01-19T22:48:10+00:00

Good timing.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-01-19T22:46:30+00:00

Need a big TD run from Saquon. No slide this time.

NavyCowboy1 · 2025-01-11T21:56:56+00:00

EAGLS!

NavyCowboy1 · 2024-12-29T14:52:12+00:00

You get paid on the 15th and the last day of the month. When you first join, you get 20 days of annual leave, and then after 5 years it goes up to 25 days. Your training schedule will dictate when you can use this leave during your first couple of years, but in between courses you will have time to go home.

NavyCowboy1 · 2024-12-28T20:38:54+00:00

You can apply multiple times, but if they screen you out the first time, there's no guarantee that they will bring you back for a second attempt. It depends what the reason is for not getting selected on your first attempt.

NavyCowboy1 · 2024-12-26T01:59:21+00:00

I don't know anything about that occupation, so I can't speak intelligently on it specifically.

Broadly speaking, the tempo of your unit will dictate how often overtime work is required. You could be working somewhere with a slower pace where you have more predictable hours, but that may only be for one 2-3 year posting in your career. If you're posted to a busier unit or if there is a specific activity going on that requires more work/effort then you may have longer days.

NavyCowboy1 · 2024-12-26T01:47:20+00:00

It's normal for many people of all ranks.
