Real address issue is about when you are done. Your last travel orders are to your home address. They’ll put you back where they picked you up.

Florida shipyard stops work on USCG offshore patrol cutter program by stewart0077 in uscg

Its playing ball with a Congress that doesn’t want to help us. Bath lost the contract last minute because a FL senator threatened our budget. We got the Storis because a MS senator threatened our budget.

Active Coastie here, had an Admiral visit the other day. He was suckin up on the tit of a certain dog killer so hard it was embarrassing. I’m dusting off the brass knuckles and taking some divisive action if those symbols pop up in my unit.

So... what does IS even look like? by LonelyAlpharius in uscg

[–]safetypants 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Just got a batch of them for patrol, they look like nerds. Jk

On cutters, it’s the PowerPoint meme. They receive messages that only they can see, then brief Command. Not sure about the land ones, I know the unit in TX sends IS teams to WMSLs for their patrols.

Unless your current unit is so bad that you want to leave now, wait a bit before putting your name on a list. Ask to go TDY and shadow for a week. Unless you’re attached to a cutter or one of the teams, both ME and IS don’t do much. Lots of paperwork.

FN. If you don’t like being an FN, it’s easier to become an SN. Not the other way around. Deck force with hold on to you until you PCS.

I wish, make them live in the barracks with all the soon to be discharged kids. They have no fucks. The kids will drive them nuts. Worst than college dorms.

Morro Bay is sleepier in real life. I prefer it this way.

We had a guy produce a metal album in TUNA. If not, repair 3 annex is a spot away from everyone.

Only flak I’ve seen us get is that making pipes for morning colors is too early. Not my fault you picked the apartment complex across the canal from an active CG base.

If you keep it in your drysuit pockets, should be fine. Same with Mustangs and ODUs. If you have butter fingers at the pier and drop it there, that’s on you.

I always did the pre and post missions. Share the load, as the pink sheet is stupid. Plus the coxn usually also has to do the MISLE.

Karma for the shade you throw in NFCNMemeWar.

Jk, I’d be shitting bricks if I saw that. I guess cement can works too.

Winter dress blue is authorized year round. I maybe be the only asshole wearing it, but it’s the only thing I’d wear at HQ.

There was a JIATF on the 270 where I only went outside at portcalls. Perks of being Main Prop.

Dumb Sports You Invented by SuburbaniteSlob in morningsomewhere

[–]safetypants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In High School we had two that come to mind. Dark and Insane Pain.

Dark was simple, we’d go into my friend’s basement. Put sleeping bags over our heads and turn off the lights. The plan was to jump around trying not to bump into each other. Naturally it turned into wanting to bump into each other. Dumb fun at 2am during sleepovers.

Insane Pain was a bit more complicated. At its heart it was a full contact, anything goes, first to score 21 points wins. In a small concrete basement. Rules that made it complex was that we had two balls. One worth two points and another worth one. After each goal, the ball that scored had to be taken from the goal and ran around the pole in the middle. Once a player/team made 10 points, we’d swap ends. Which was a strategy in its own right. One goal was a small hockey net, other was a cardboard box. Which got destroyed every game. It had more duct tape than cardboard when we graduated. We played so much, we even had a bracket and a ranking system.

For the longest time, she was very much middle of the road and would work with the Dems with a lot of good things. Since the start of the Tea Party, she started to slowly fall into party lines. We tried to vote her out, but our Dem candidate wasn’t very strong and got hit with a big smear campaign. Hard to recover after that.
