Why does this folder exist?

Since Primary and Intermediate are now joined together and we don't select until after the old intermediate would have been done, perhaps this folder could go away.

Just a thought.

Attention to detail and initiative like that is going to get you drive-by tasked by an observant O-4 in the fleet if you aren't careful. Remember: play dumb and appear mediocre, that way when you do good, everyone is pleasantly suprised and you come out looking "not as bad as everyone thought".

I'm kidding. Good point. It's probably here because all us old guys have no idea what the deal is with primary and intermediate these days.

Varmint, I hear the OPSO is looking for you, mentioned something about IDTC briefs and working this weekend, good luck... I keed, I keed...

Yeah, guess this folder can go away then.

"Hey LTJG Nugget, you aren't scheduled today. Go over to TSC. The reservists are here and they can't remember how to do crypto."

"Hey LTJG Nugget, you aren't scheduled today. We need you to start the APU and open the comm box and sit on XXX while the FOs and 'Trons troubleshoot."

"Hey LTJG Nugget, we're changing the prop housing on XXX, you have duty pilot Saturday."

"Hey LTJG Nugget, why are you behind on PQS?"

"Hey LTJG Nugget, you know how you requested to have tomm off? We need you to fly with the Wing Stan guy. "

"ALWAYS CARRY A CLIPBOARD FULL OF PAPERWORK AND APPEAR TO BE FRANTICALLY TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER J.O.

Haha, I've got the clipboard full of paperwork ready to go, and I'm working on a 'not so bright' look so that I appear mediocre (or less). Once in a while I forget to accept the status quo ... I'll work on it.

Interestingly as soon as I made corporal, the other NCO's gave me the "clipboard with a stern look and walk quickly" speech. worked pretty well to

Also don't forget to have an extra cover and set of car keys stashed at work. That way you can take off and leave your keys and cover on your desk. They come looking for you, see your stuff, and say, "Well, he's got to be around here somewhere; his keys and cover are right there."

It works the same way in the surface world...the biggest clue as to whether or not someone has gone home is the boots in the their room. No boots on the floor=still at work. You'd be amazed at the number of people who never figured out how to put a pair of boots in a closet or a drawer.

I love it... When I got to my first ship I was given a green book and given the "always walk around with this open and say you are looking for a part" speech.
