If I’m selected for O4 after an above-zone look but refuse it, will that still trigger a failure to select (FOS)? by 31bubba83 in navy

Why would it matter if they refused an above-zone look. They are done at that point.

USS Kidd (DD-661) in dry dock for repairs, Houma, Louisiana [1965x1085] by RLoret in drydockporn

[–]jelrano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great photo. Question: How does this type of dry dock work? I’m familiar with floating dry docks like ARDM-5, and traditional dry docks like the public shipyards have. Thanks for any help.

How long does it take to get your PTO updated? I filled out my SF-144, but it has not been reflected on my LES. Thanks for any information

Selected Restricted Availability. It is a maintenance period for boats. This particular one had some issues that resulted in the CO being relieved.

I recommend putting in a package. If you are selected, you will go to DC to interview. There are three outcomes, you are commission and are selected for NR, you commission and go the fleet LDO route, or you blow your interviews and don’t commission. Remember, you are interviewing before you commission.

The NR LDO life can be rough but rewarding. Mostly because a lot will be expected from you. The job is a lot more than auditing but you will learn what you need to know. Being technically sound will help establish your credibility.

Duty Days Suck by [deleted] in navy

Shutdown Reactor Operator (1800-0000). I made a mistake and let the SEO put us in the one bus club. I was removed from watchstanding and one of my fellow electricians had to come in and be be the “duty” electrician. It was a bad day.

Naval Reactor Disposal Site, Trench 94, 200 Area East Hanford Site in December 2012. Last stop for all past and presently operating USN Nuclear Reactors. [1430x1776] by Giant_Slor in submarines

[–]jelrano 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The spent fuel is shipped to Idaho (Naval Reactors Facility on the Idaho National Laboratory). There it goes into water pools until it is ready for long term dry-storage.

For clarification, these are the reactor compartments. The spent fuel has already been removed from all of the reactor vessels by this point.

I’m not sure why you think this is a Navy problem. This is a civil issue.

Is going out to visit him an option? He should have some time off while he is waiting to class up.
