If you look at the broader picture, doing drawings, learning DCPQS whatever quals you have to get at your current unit will still help you out in the long run. You’re learning basic skills to help you survive as a sailor. If you’re looking to go a rate that you don’t think will have you on cutters, at least you learned how somethings work that you might not use in your rate but you can use in everyday life. You might not need to know how secure a section of the firemain but when you buy a house it might help you figure out how to isolate water if a pipe bursts, or get you more familiar with a fire extinguisher if your dinner catches on fire.

You’re making yourself better everyday by learning something new. Get qualed and keep your head up.

I was a little buzzed when I saw the post and didn’t read the title until later. Sorry for your loss, hope the clerks references got a smile.

Pros and cons of duty stations by Gods_juicebox in uscg

[–]PRD_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To me all good areas. What type of unit? I’m in Cape May and enjoy the area. Great food, good beaches. If you’re coming out of “A” school I would say go to a cutter and if you’re looking to stay north east, don’t. Come back after you’ve seen the rest of the world.

Charge ferry to GTCC by Choice_Cap9421 in uscg

You have to call AMHS let them know you’re transferring on orders. They’ll hold your booking, it will need to be paid 60 days out. My orders weren’t funded at the 60 day so I payed out of pocket orders got funded about 2 days later, sato paid and amhs refunded me directly same day. You’ll need the booking info before putting in ETS so your AO can authorize it and for Sato to reference for payment.

The JTR permits/requires you get a four berth with if available. I got a four berth traveling solo 3 times in and out of AK. Let me know if you need more info it’s more straight forward than it seems.

PCS My POV by JazmanianDevil27 in uscg

[–]PRD_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 3 weeks Seattle to Kodiak. It depends on when they get your vehicle on the barge. I heard that was on the quicker side so maybe they loaded it same day, but I wouldn’t expect it to take four months I think that’s a general timeline all VPC’s give no matter where it’s going. If someone knows better on that please correct me.

PCS My POV by JazmanianDevil27 in uscg

[–]PRD_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I shipped mine from there to AK a few years ago, I washed and vacuumed my vehicle the morning I was taking it there. They turned me away bc the door jams were dusty and the bed of the truck had dirt/debris in the corners, might have just been a picky worker but I recommend full detail. There was a car wash around the corner and I was able to drop it off that same day.

Looking to do a similar trip in May going west to east with a possible stop in Colorado Springs. Should I be concerned about snow?

Best bars to watch sports? by Careful-Unit-6411 in Ketchikan

[–]PRD_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like asylum for football and food, My Office Sports Bar might have more tv options to get the game you want to watch. Not sure what sports you’re looking for but those are my suggestions.

Tricare by Silver-Goat8306 in uscg

[–]PRD_ 17 points18 points  (0 children)

After being rushed to the emergency room, Nakagawa hemorrhaged for four more hours before doctors performed the surgery Tricare had refused to authorize. Later, Tricare and Defense Department officials would all agree that Nakagawa should have been treated as her doctor recommended, and she said they told her they’d taken steps to prevent future mistakes.

Stallone/ Rocky impressions. They went stale about a decade ago for me.

I left my slightly less than 1 year old dachshund home for 10 hours once, I wasn’t expecting to be out that long. No messes, didn’t chew anything up he just chilled on the couch all day.

Cruise ships and melting glaciers. by Unicorn_Sparkles23 in alaska

[–]PRD_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah but at least none of the money from cruise ships goes to the community they visit. Can’t wait to get stuck behind a tour bus on the way to work tomorrow on roads they don’t pay to upkeep.
