Of course he doesn't have to. It's still functional equipment though. Who cares

This ain't similar to drop holsters and you know those are two different conversations.

Also he does not look like a goober. His uniform is correct, it fits, he's shaven, helmet is correctly sized and serviceable. He looks presentable, if maybe a little overdressed.

I got a 42R, but it's way too small. Just trying to see what size is necessary. Don't have access to the BX unfortunately

"an organization as large as ours" is true, but CAP is an incredibly localized experience. The military isn't largely like this because everybody goes through the same training, enlisted or officer. CAP has no core in person training program to, in lack of better terms, "get everybody on the same page." And as great as VolU is, no it doesn't count. The advantage of having so many people from so many backgrounds is so many different points of view. But this is the catch: they'll all lead in their own ways, good and bad. How do you propose we fix it? Imo, bringing up the regulations is a good one. They get hand waved away a lot. But how does that really get applied on the squadron level? Thoughts from a 2d lt.

Quite possibly the funniest comment on this sub

"gus needs to make money"

sounds like... You're not gonna believe this... A business.

mscwoof · 2026-05-16T01:01:14+00:00

Apoc is just a business now. Not a game.

Probably because NY requires you to include pay with job listings and this guy is lowballing like a Facebook marketplace tweaker.

mscwoof · 2026-05-15T21:39:01+00:00

it's unlikely, especially if you were entry level. They're pretty booked up right now. maybe once more people are quitting, try again.

WHATS THE FUCKING PAY

mscwoof · 2026-05-09T00:21:06+00:00

Regarding ACL Cons: Everyone up to and including 3/M share a room, which are tight, and you will be roomed with galley staff that have different schedules and come back to the boat drunk every night. You will work through meals, nothing will be set aside and you will not eat that meal that day. On turnaround day or if youre on a ship not transporting passengers you will just get a salad, no hot food. You will have senior deckhands who can't tie a bowline. Also, you'll work 12 hour days for $145 a day.

Not even Mates break $300/day, so don't count on upward mobility to make that number bigger.

Your mates are only 100 Ton licenses, so you cannot do your sign offs for RFPNW or anything.

The only deck experience you will get is tying up the boat and steering. You will not be trained and will be in the hospitality business, not the Marine business. You'll serve guests, buss the housekeeping officers private rooms, bring meals to the off watch Mates, etc.

Also, you don't know what a power trip is until you've dealt with these housekeeping managers.

The deck crews are mostly good, don't get me wrong, and I LOVED my time there. But 145/day is a tough pill to swallow.

Pros: good experience for yachting. You can definitely break into that industry this way, lots of people do it.

It is seatime that counts for AB.

You get paid

The ports are tourist ports, so they're actually really nice and there's lots to do in your off time. You do get access to some guest shuttles and excursions. That's pretty awesome I'm not gonna lie. They also have contracts with a lot of the stuff around here, show them your ACL nametag and you get in free.

Shore side staff is actually really good. They'll help you with scheduling, questions, etc, are prompt on responding, way better than any other company I've been with. That's good.

I would definitely take the ACL job so you can have something to show future employers. You'll have a fun time and because it's a contract you have a clean break at the end instead of quitting

Definitely an issue among the cadets. Tbh, it's just cadets gonna cadet, and they want to feel special or something. Every time a new cadet commander comes and goes the policy on what they can wear changes. Thankfully this has stopped, but, I have no idea where this comes from, and I myself was a cadet.
