There's a difference between being proactive and being a retard. Tread lightly, lest ye be judged retarded.

And WHATEVER you do.. Don't go full Motard.
You know, I've been lucky enough to have a GREAT CO for most of my first tour, and my second tour wasn't even on a ship.
And despite that, just remembering how much of a douche my first skipper was, combined with the miserable SWO O-5+ leadership I've seen working with other commands reinforces my decision to punch out of SWO.
I don't have a problem with working hard. I've functioned on 3-4 hrs a night for a week straight for several exercises, planning and executing training scenarios that actually contributed to mission readiness. It's pretty rewarding to see a shipboard warfare section or patrol unit you're responsible for kick the shit out of OPFOR, especially if they're European.
I do have a problem with having to hold up liberty or come in to work weekends again and again due to bullshit requirements or poor resource management by senior personnel. Or even worse, sometimes not having the stones to tell THEIR bosses they're being retarded.

Yep. That was me at HOOK.
Retribution ... flightsuits out in town! Summary link below ... NAVADMIN 164/12 is the source material.

Did I mis the part about flight suites in town? Also, they haven't yet hung 164/12 on the npc website...?
Also, anyone know why there are Sailors all over NUW with the woodland digi-cam? I thought that was reserved for expeditionary organizations.?.

Is the actual message out anywhere?
It's subtle, but here it is...
So now (assuming this summary is correct) you can wear your flight suit out in town, in accordance with NAVADMIN 366/11 - to wit:
Again, assuming the first quotation is accurate...
They are probably headed out for deployment, we got them before we left. It's super smart - helps us blend in with all the trees and bushes out here in the desert. there was some rationale for why they didn't give us the desert pattern but i don't recall what it was.
Also dude, colored is not the preferred nomenclature
