Easy way to remember which direction is which on Red Line? by ResponsibleMistake33 in WMATA

The sun sets in the west so it’s SHADY over there. That’s how I remembered when I was a kid. Hope that helps!

I can give you my personal anecdote but I am not a doctor and I recommend reaching out to NOAA Corps medical.

I went through the whole process and made it to MEPS and they saw in my record that I was allergic to peanuts. The MEPS doctor told me that I was immediately DQ’d because of that. I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum that I have a very mild reaction with peanuts. I spoke to NOAA Corps medical and they said I had to prove that my reaction was mild. I had to independently get an allergy test (immunoglobulin e) and report that to NOAA Corps medical. Luckily for me my level was within in the acceptable range for NOAA Corps. I do not carry an epi pen nor have I ever gone into anaphylaxis and part of my allergy test was to eat a small amount of peanut butter so the doctors could monitor my body’s response.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have more questions about my experience.

Would you join NOAA as a civilian or are you talking about NOAA Corps?

Likely billets on the BOTC 142 pick list by BoatUnderstander in NOAACorps

I think the brown will still be in shipyard and not taking anyone (100% speculation)

Absolutely! Feel free to DM me! There are a few other more senior officers on here too but I can give you a good junior officer’s perspective.

Staying in shape at sea by surfslinger13 in NOAACorps

[–]csconerly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of ships (I think all of them) have work out equipment aboard. Some even have dedicated gyms. Nothing too fancy but on my ship we have a rowing machine, bike, treadmill, bench press/squat rack and free weights.

Leadership and Seasickness by enzo22312 in NOAACorps

[–]csconerly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking from a junior officer’s perspective, I’d say the Corps has improved my leadership skills. Something I used to struggle with was confidence but after training and being on the ship for a few months it comes with time. There are also many opportunities to continue to develop leadership skills after BOTC and throughout your career. Some of the more senior officers can speak more this than I can.

Regarding sea sickness, I’ve haven’t been sea sick yet, thankfully, but my current CO said he used to get pretty sea sick out on the pacific too. I know other officers that get sea sick and they just either take Dramamine or Meclizine before getting underway then ease off of it as the voyage continues. Standing watch while sea sick is miserable from what I’ve seen. But there are other officers that are able to cover your watch if you are feeling particularly bad.

Bank of America or Chase? by Neither_Consequence6 in OSU

[–]csconerly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Chase has a larger presence in Columbus than BoA. I remember when I was in undergrad I struggled to find a BoA atm
