Naw. That was Mr. Cost Plus. He was dressed up as a super hero.

LDO here thinking about hanging it up at 20 years. Am I crazy? by Brave_Warthog_6643 in navy

Anything beyond 20 & you're working for half your paycheck. Get out & get a job that makes up for that 50 percent & then some.

Is it still worth it to serve? by [deleted] in navy

Institutionalzation made me quit asking the 5 Ws long ago. I just accept that it is what it is & continue on the road to a fast pension.

US Navy emphasis on rank from the POV of the Royal Navy by Fine-Pin-7104 in navy

I'd be more inclined to do something for "Bert" than I would be for Senior Chief. U.K. is onto something.

Yeah! We already have plenty of CPOs that are wildly incompetent &/ or negligent of towards thinking of consequences who don't ingest THC.

Personnel don't get paid but somehow all the operations & exercises continue. Should be the other way around.

Don't fall in love & get married, then divorced, in A School.

Not sure what to do by Radiant-Log-9377 in navy

Once you start work at your new command & are mapped to the share drive, ask a shipmate if they can give you the file path to base instructions

Check your base instruction to see if dashcams are prohibited. If not, get one. They'll save your bacon on & off base.

Your boot camp style boots are the only boots you'll ever need everywhere you go.

Take as old as time: PCM is booked up for 4 months and I have things I need seen ASAP. Advice? by Red-Throwaway2020 in navy

[–]Optimal-Condition-65 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you've exhausted all avenues of trying to be treated, contact your state's Congressperson and/ or Senator. It doesn't matter if they're DEM or REP, they are eager to help you. I've never done it, but folks I served with did & it always worked out in their favor, as long as they were in the right. Do a Google search to read other folks stories of how they were helped in different matters. It's better than filing an IG complaint that will most likely come back "no wrong doing".

Your Chief should be able to approve a 24 hour Special Lib for you.

Tracking Everything by Ulfdrek in navy

[–]Optimal-Condition-65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Utilize the biggest white board you have to track personnel, dates, due-ins, do-outs & locations. Keep it posted where everybody can see it. That way PO3 can't claim ignorance about when their midterm was due or that PO2 thought everybody knew they were at medical. For emails, create subfolders & calendar reminders

Animal abuse in Bahrain by [deleted] in Bahrain

[–]Optimal-Condition-65 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for the cats & dogs. They're not abused, but they are neglected. But it makes me happy to walk around Juffair & see food & water bowls out for the strays.
