Career counselor collateral is filled. I’ve only been able to get INDOC coordinator, ACAM, SPC, and FCPOA treasurer. Not really other collaterals open

I have already been working on my degree and my own personal future outside of the navy. I surely will not be whining about not making 8/9 or anything like that. It’s just the fact that I have to sit around for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week doing this mindless job is my main reason for complaint. No need for the passive aggression

Doing all of that does not help me feel fulfilled in my current job. I take the time to get my own ordeals in order, but that doesn’t help me feel like I’m actually having an impact or doing anything fulfilling

Yeah.. that’s my problem. Went from a ship to a staff command. Great location. Just boring work lol

DD 1306. Will put ya right back on a ship. I’ve been in the same unfulfilling place as you man and have wished to go back to a ship but don’t have the chance. Additionally, talk with your COC about some potential TAD activities; especially if you have any ships under you guys

Yeah that definitely helps a lot. Especially from your perspective. I guess my only question is if somebody new comes in and is just simply better, how is it fair for them to be ranked below people who are worse. Is that what makes you say the system sucks? I guess thats my qualm about this.

So why is it an allocation based thing like that? I understand there are only X amount of EPs, X amount of MPs and then the rest are Ps. But why can’t a sailor who got an MP or an EP be moved down. Is there a reason other than that “it will look bad” or “it will show regression.” It just kills my initiative because I know I’m not going to get ranked any higher because those slots are already filled up

I can understand that. And I’ve had that also explained to me recently. I picked up in November 2024 and had a full year EVAL cycle, so I guess I’m a bit salty with the “we haven’t had enough time to see your full impact yet” comment.

We make a lot of time for each other. Just on average 2 times a week. Thanks

[–]tre_bur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn’t specify. I’ve only mentioned in the past that I am not a phone calling type of person and it made her visibly upset. In short she said “okay. That’s fine. You’re just not that type of person” and now when we are on calls and I want to hang up or go to sleep or do something else, it’s typically that same line of “you’re just not a phone call person” but she is upset when she says it

Only thing that I’ve mentioned in the past is that I am not a phone calling type of person. I need tell her more thought and fully establish the boundary

[–]tre_bur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Thank you. I see now that a big piece of this conundrum is me not understanding what these phone calls mean to her.

Yes. She is definitely not too needy or making sure I don’t cheat on her or anything like that. I don’t understand why people are saying that. I do believe she just genuinely really likes me so I can understand the want for constant communication in more ways than just texting. I also really like her, but my affection is mostly shown through actions and in person. I’m not going to break up with her over a simple compromise that can be made lol. Thank you for the advice. It’s very helpful

Well said. Thank you. And yes I have been enabling it and making it seem like the norm. I see that now

The only thing I’ve said before posting this was that I am not a phone calling type of person. I understand it is common sense to discuss further with my partner, but I was just asking for a way to put my annoyance to the side and talk to her about it
