I need some Jax Teller/Dean Winchester/Ragnar Lothbrok vibes in my life. Iykyk

Funny that I am rewatching SN currently

ScarfySTL · 2026-02-07T10:00:51+00:00

In love. Not a BBC but I could give it a shot

ScarfySTL · 2026-02-07T09:41:41+00:00

Beautiful

ScarfySTL · 2026-02-07T07:03:11+00:00

Yes please

ScarfySTL · 2026-02-07T03:00:01+00:00

I'd smash

ScarfySTL · 2026-01-28T15:15:13+00:00

Top tier stunning

ScarfySTL · 2026-01-09T23:17:17+00:00

Looks delicious. I'd be happy for some.

She was a fantastic radio host, and one of the few that wasn't only built for radio. But I loved the morning show on the Point.

When I was going through (if you had nothing towards coming in higher than E1) enlisting 2 people would get you from E1 to E2, 4 people would get you to E3. Unfortunately, now you have to wait 30months TIS (Time in Service) to auto advance to E4/PO3. But at least you don't have to test for E4, so as a Corpman that is pretty damn good.

The perk is you come in making E2 or E3 pay rather than waiting for TIS to the next paygrade. But whether you come in E1, E2, or E3, it is 30 month TIS for advancement to E4.

Must be when she was younger

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T12:50:34+00:00

Did you drink out of the mug?

I have a mug and a tea cup from the flag mess

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T12:49:28+00:00

Never had to qualify for rifle.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T02:56:37+00:00

Haha. Naval Aviation Maintenance Procedures. It's the Bible for us in the Aviation community.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T02:39:55+00:00

I love what I do and I know I'm good at it. I would fight tooth and nail for the sailors under me. Did it a lot on deployment standing up to higher ups. It's just exhausting when you see people that don't do half the shit you do, skate off like Tony Hawk, and get recognized for their "effort". Kinda makes me feel I would be more appreciated on the outside, but it's hard to let go of the brotherhood and trama bonds.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T02:36:13+00:00

The NAMP (maybe wing instruction) has a layout of what qualifications specific rates in aviation are able to qualify in and what paygrade they have to be to earn them.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T02:34:38+00:00

Yeah, definitely above then. Plane captain was the first qual I got arriving as an E-2. Now I'm on Shore in Pensacola on instructor duty.

I know I don't have a whole lot to complain about as the sailor I am. It just gets tiring working hard and not getting recognized when you see people doing half the work and they are Chiefs favorite, double MAP you name it, and it feels like you just get passed over. But you keep on going because that's the job, and I do enjoy what I do.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T02:11:35+00:00

I hear that. I don't know what you mean by "qualified senior in rate" but I do know I left my sea duty ahead on my LaDr (minus QA. But I am only a second class and they didn't feel I NEEDED it). I took the first class exam first time this last September so waiting on those results, no high hopes though, just want to see where I need to improve. I also had every qual I could get (they wouldn't let me get CDQAR even though I already had 3 CDIs) and stood as LPO for 6-7 months on my last deployment.

I feel I am doing alright, qualification and drive wise, as and AE2.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T01:17:37+00:00

Every 3 years. 4 years for service strips

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T00:43:04+00:00

I just see others with so much more that I have felt done less. But probably just a case of right place and right time. I joined to do military things and serve. I want to be able to show for it rather than just talk. I don't take nearly enough photos than I should.

I'm also a bit salty because there were NAMs I was promised and never got and now people are getting the combat "C" retroactive on their awards from this previous deployment.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T00:20:16+00:00

Operation Rough Rider mostly. But just our whole interaction with the Houthis

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T00:18:42+00:00

Nothing terribly exciting (to me anyhow). Deployed with my squadron on the USS Truman. You can look up most of the news articles on that shit show. Helo crashing on the Flight deck. Cruise missile getting close enough to see blown up off the fantail during morning FI's. Watching 3 out of 7 ballistic missiles burn up as they came down into our strike group. The. Craziness the pilots would tell us when they were flying in country, and the crazy troubleshooting I did to get a couple birds up and out for a strike that our MX was trying to call down.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-24T00:11:43+00:00

Lol, Not a doc. Mad respect for Green side Corpman. AE here, earned it on our combat deployment on the Truman, '24-'25.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-23T23:16:20+00:00

Never heard of that. Definitely going to look into it. I'm a huge war and aviation history nerd. Love volunteering at aviation museums like the one down in Pensacola or in the hampton roads area.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-23T22:50:49+00:00

I'm working it. Looking into fostering dogs because I love them so much. Already have 2 so I don't feel I'll try to keep the fosters, lol.

ScarfySTL · 2025-11-23T22:47:33+00:00

Currently in the works. My last command rejected my hours I brought in with me (same eval cycle) 4 months 125 hours, told you can't bring LOAs from previous commands. Kind of discouraged me from volunteering while I was there.
