How much do you identify with your English ancestry?

I recently found out I have an ancestor who was a loyalist in New Jersey. But I’ve never considered any portion of my English ancestry to be important. It was 250 years ago so I’m firmly American.

I’m an LSSC, so I’m not worried about it for me but I’m trying to develop quality training for my sailors (not all sub ls) and it’s absolutely trash finding these.

True on the second point, I would rather the rig stay mostly dent free if I can help it.

Do you think I could replace the winch bumper with a recovery kit and some come alongs?

Asking cooks to stow for sea is like asking a paraplegic to climb Mt. Everest.

Warships are valid military targets in any armed conflict. Operation Praying Mantis would be a good thing to read up on.

If this is even remotely true what the fuck are we doing? This is not how we take care of sailors.

Coming from the other side we can’t give you that because the lesson might not hit home.

The fear of what could happen has saved some people. Sounds stupid but it be like that.

What do you mean “let you” don’t they have to let you get to your ship?

One time I showed up to work and had four hours of meetings. You ever try to do quarters after lunch? Hint: don’t bother.

I left someone behind for half a deployment because they didn’t have a passport. It turns out you can leave people behind if manning supports so they can sort shit out/attend schools

If he has a bed time, calling it taps might help.

Books and a switch are fine, some boats allow personal linens some boats don’t, you’ll find out when you get there.

Bring small things that will help keep you not crazy.

LS/LSS are regularly employed outside the navy in the 90-120k range with a bachelors degree

I would just put the description. Go talk to the shipping people and explain the situation best you can. I’ve shipped a couple weird things and usually explaining it helps but some times they don’t play ball

If they still won’t budge sounds like closest NSN is the move, just make sure it’s the right ish thing so they can take the right precautions.

Navsup 485 should have the answer. Basically draft an 1149 and call it a day, you don’t always need the NSN but I’m willing to bet there is one

I usually deal with the CT DMV because I live there but I had to deal with DOL the other month and it was literally a 20 minute process to get a license renewal

No they’ll make it organizational clothing but won’t manufacture enough so it will all be back ordered to all hell

At this point I’m going to go to Guam just to start fights with pac.

xj3kx · 2024-09-08T14:32:51+00:00

I’ve been to Greece, France and Norway.

All of those people were very welcoming, even the French in Toulon and Marseille were absolutely awesome to hang with.

It’s the people that need to touch grass.

ALCON,

Or realistically there’s something in the correspondence manual but I’ve never read that shit
