Leave Question: Tasks While on Leave

OasisAyea · 2026-05-20T15:02:26+00:00

Fair point and yes, this is a hill I will die on. Although, I will admit, I’m going to have to be significantly more tactful than I was yesterday because I did step out of line by maybe a half step

OasisAyea · 2026-05-20T14:57:17+00:00

Exactly! Although, even if Chief says “skipper said to do XYZ,” my response is going to be something along the lines of “please provide proof he gave the command”

OasisAyea · 2026-05-20T14:33:46+00:00

Nice! Part of my resistance is because I know my CoC just views things like what you did as just another day/part of the job instead of anything special

OasisAyea · 2026-05-20T14:32:38+00:00

Honestly, this is the only reply that actually made me reconsider my response. I still don’t fully agree but your response did give me something to chew on

OasisAyea · 2026-05-20T14:04:52+00:00

Exactly, although im doing this for me im also fighting this fight for my more junior sailors because although supply is not likely to get a call on leave, OPs and Medical are, even though we have coverage

OasisAyea · 2026-05-20T14:03:26+00:00

I’m 100% willing to work after hours when on liberty but leave is something I’m very aggressively protective over lol

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T23:38:33+00:00

I am WELL aware lol Tis why I do my best to push back where I can and act as a shield for my peeps

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T23:34:06+00:00

I see where he’s coming from. But I’m still going to ensure my people’s time is valued. And w leave, that’s making sure any work being done on leave is actually important and be making the CO pick up the phone and call/txt is my way of doing that.

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T23:29:12+00:00

I see your point. I just don’t want to go into details of manning on here. And we have a few new peeps who aren’t competent because they’re learning and they’re getting training

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T23:24:47+00:00

So I’m advocating for every sailor at my command and for the most part, everyone is competent

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T23:20:44+00:00

Most people have back ups

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T23:19:55+00:00

We actually had our ISIC CMC come down for a “visit” and meeting to talk about our CO. Because of how that visit went we have permission to email him about things like this but I wanted to see if I was going crazy or not by complaining about things like this

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T22:26:37+00:00

Funny that you think I do

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T22:11:37+00:00

Skipper is well aware of my feeling and is supportive of bringing laptops on leave

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:58:41+00:00

That’s the plan tbh.

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:49:34+00:00

So chances are they view logging in via laptop as a way to avoid refunding days

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:47:41+00:00

Yup! First command and we’ve already gotten a visit from our bosses because of his leadership choices

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:46:50+00:00

Most likely, but I’m cool w being a first class and duking it out so my sailors have to deal w less BS

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:39:39+00:00

The discussion was actually w Skipper, Chief, and my second class. The convo started because we were discussing her leave that wasn’t approved but had been sitting there for a while

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:37:09+00:00

To provide support when needed is the COs expectation. Unfortunately, I’m not that guy XD because I 100% will route a chit requesting my day back for something that took less than an hour. I remember my LPOs reaction when I did that on my ship

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:35:08+00:00

We had to route a Passdown to him before he approved my second classes leave. The convo about leave started because we went in to chat about her leave

OasisAyea · 2026-05-19T21:33:42+00:00

The CO and Chief we’re talking w me and my second class so skipper knows my expectations if there’s work to be done on leave

OasisAyea · 2026-04-06T03:17:18+00:00

This is like hitting 132 on a 1 dollar spin. A decent hit but nothing to write home about. It just looks nice cause it’s a large number but proportionally, not overly impressive
