That is the FITREP which was submitted. Verbatim. I'm sure the "MP for his troubles" comment will probably be chopped by the XO.
Way to go out Viking funeral style, MB.

I think it's fair to say that you've made the leap from active duty mindset to reserve mindset nicely...

We'll see how far it gets. I had the MO rolling on the floor laughing. And then I told him I was serious. Which added MOAR LAUGHTER!
"Why not? It don't matter anymore for you" was the response I got.

You do realize that he already has a CDL and has worked as a truck driver before, right?

He is MasterBates,"the most interesting aviator in the world," after all.
You said you showed this to the MO? Isn't he your RS? Or does the CO write on everyone in his squadron in the Navy?

Your CO is not going to sign something like that, and if your DH has half a brain, they won't forward this as is. I know you're not a professional (as if we needed another reminder), but I suspect that your Skipper is. Please post a scanned (PII redacted) copy when this gets sent to BUPERS.

Brett,
What is the problem with writing an accurate, if humorous FITREP? Does it not fit in with you paradigm where every officer shits rainbows and saves the Navy form the unruly unwashed hordes of hippies every FITREP cycle? The MO knew it was coming. This FITREP does not matter. If I FOS, it could have been just a continuity purpose/CO Average management FITREP. If I screen, per community STAN I'm going to get the #2 Select behind our WTI.
I get my job done. I do it right, on time, and sometimes even honestly meet impossible deadlines. As much as it would shock you, I am competent, safe in the aircraft, and get the bastard aboard when others can't with a damn good for a Hummer Guy GPA. While I am not the stick figure marathon runner the USN seems to want, I meet standards for BF, and score Excellent-High on my PRTs.
I just choose to use my final FITREP to poke fun at what I believe to be a broken system.
Don't lecture me about professionalism.
If we all were half as good as our FITREPs claim, we would have colonized Mars and have Space Aircraft Carriers by now.

Yeah, and he was a commercial chopper pilot before joining Big Navy. How did that work out for him?

I love it when it is Fitrep time. I do a lot of behind the scenes wordsmithing on all the ones that come across TrophyHinge's desk and I get tremendous satisfaction in finding and suggesting to him new ways to say, "meh, 's'alright" in vague, wordy ways. The good ones are no fun at all to help with.

I think this about sums up my position. I'm willing to bet that your CO doesn't agree with this concept, nor is he willing to broadcast that kind of sentiment to the community at large. If I got something like that as a FITREP input from anyone, I'd tear it up and invite that person to start over.
As for the rest, you don't have to plead with me regarding your reputation. You've spent a lot of time and effort during your short career to make your reputation into what it is today and you're simply reaping what you've sown over the years. Big Navy is just acting accordingly.
