Its business as usual at NOB and JEB. Not sure where you're getting your gouge from, but I've been on both bases since the news broke about this incident.

Thanks for the insight everybody. I've got two weeks of leave coming up here in the middle of November. Hopefully I can make a decision by then.

Updated my profile a little bit for you. I'm 23, with three years and change of service. Squeaky Clean service record. All indications are that I will retain all my educational benefits if I get out.

Sirs and Ma'ams, I find myself in quite a predicament concerning my Navy career. I will be omitting some specifics about my medical history and certain events for privacy reasons. A couple months ago, I came down with a medical condition that required me to be removed from my boat for an...

I believe she's still PCU New Mexico until later this month. But I could be wrong.

Egregious spelling aside, this is what I have such an issue with. I'm on the Pasadena. We had the first female to get fish ride our boat for 2 years. The solution was a paper laminated sign that said men on one side, and women on the other. Worked out just fine. If you want to be on subs, and...

Because not all berthings are attached to a head, and even in the middle of the day, its non uncommon to see someone who was just shoulder deep in a dirty machine rolling through the ship wearing almost nothing. Because sometime maintenance gets down shirtless because its either ditry as shit or...

The official word from on high is that as of 31DEC2010 there will be no smoking tobacco used on board US Navy submarines underway. There are apparently also some things rolling down the channels about the use of smokeless tobacco most likely involving its use on watch, and outside of a...

Sounds to me like they're trying to protect the "pioneers" from 5 hours in Maneuvering with no other khaki in sight, and the shenanigans that may or may not take place on the 1 hour engine room tour... :D :P

That's not an unreasonable expectation at all. And I don't think it's competition between OCS and STA-21 or any nonsense like that. What I think it comes down to is that you needed a SAT-Medium to graduate from boot camp, and you're already in the military, as opposed to most OCS candidates and...

+1 I've been through four sporty cars in 5 years. Twice due to accidents (none of which were my fault) and twice because I was just plain old tired of the car I had. (2004 E46 M3, 2005 Mustang GT, 2006 350Z and now I've got an S2000.) Only twice have do I remember saying to myself thank god...

They're going to want a pretty good reason for that part, just a heads up.

So what you're saying is, your command PT's one less time per week than the Navy wide instruction mandates, and you think your program is very active? This says a lot more about the mindset of Fleet Sailors, and the true emphasis on PT than that poll could ever hope to.

Awesome.

And then we can split the cargo mission between the navy marines and army since they make the heaviest use out of the AF's Cargo fleet anyways. Then we can split the Electronic warfare between the Navy and Marine corps, since they ride in our Prowlers anyways. Then Attack/Strike to the...

Best: Getting my NEC, first choice duty station, family member surviving a normally life-ending incident. Worst: Lost two friends in off duty accidents. Lost three friends on duty. The off duty ones hurt more.

Well yeah, isn't it obvious? One person to change the lightbulb, the rest of the division to hunt down RC-div after they make their best cockroach impersonation when the light comes back on.

Here you can see exactly how much is NOT in the water.

Depends on how willing you are to wade through the many many pictures and articles of suzy/jody rottencrotch.

My understanding is that the center "floaty bit in the water" is actually the deployment point for the hydrofoil. If you look closely, the Center is more like a bulb at the front, and does not extend more than 1/3 of the way aft.

He said pocket Vagina, not pocket asshole. (If you can't laugh at yourself...)

Interesting how it would appear that she's listing to port with the starboard side resting on the bumpers. Then again, given that she's a catamaran and not a trimaran, if this is really the cast she's not really listing then is she. She's then only part way in the water. Interesting picture...

The yards are pumping out the virginia classes so quickly not that they're debating whether or not its even worth the time and money to refuel/overhaul the LA classes as they rotate into the yards. Nice to see something come in early and under budget for a change. Edit: Mods feel free to delete...

Atlanta TSA go out of their way to make military passengers not hate their lives so much. your own line, front of the line privileges if you're in uniform.

That's sexy right there...

I love how when you quote someone now, it just adds the quote to the quick reply box at the bottom of the screen, vice the old way. Makes quoting multiple people so much easier, at least within the same page of the thread.

Works fine in FF for me.

+1 for his "old man shuffle" back to the podium.

I'm not sure that even qualifies as a dress by todays standards...

Fixed :)

While I make no claim whatsoever to having experience in anything related to aviation, it would seem to me from an outsiders perspective, that the 787 is suffering from the same fate as the Osprey in that the press will never let it live down its issues and shortcomings suffered early in the...

What's the likelihood that this results in arriving aircraft spending more time in the air just to make sure that departing aircraft are able to take off before approaching a time limit like this?

Link doesn't work.

Would've loved to be a fly on the wall in that police station as all this was coming to light.

Got any more shots of her?

The entire Harbor is currently decorated like this. Took a liberty boat ride around last night to check things out. The Key West has a giant santa-homer chasing a donut off the aft of the sail. The most creative thing i've seen from the surface side of the waterfront is some lights from the...

There was a parking attendant, i mean master at arms back at prototype who did this to protect her brand-spanking-new M3. Except she was tool enough to buy her own cone. So she'd put the cone in the space when she left every day, and when she got there, she'd move it to the next space over...

I really like my Jamis Satellite. Its a steel framed bike, which I chose due to the quality of the roads in Charleston, but it gets the job done.

The only thing that really bothered me, was that I wasn't quite sure where they were trying to go with the uniform design this year...

Exactly. I wasn't saying that that's how things were, I'm not that stupid. I was saying how a lot of the people i've seen get a size 12 to ass saw it, at least as it was happening.

Never heard of it as being "promoted to civilian"? Obviously not for all, but for many, getting the boot without a big chicken dinner is better than a RIR and x/x. Especially when it comes to otherwise career ending incidents. For a disgruntled junior sailor, there's definitely a bright...

From the CNIC website

It wasn't an incident of terrorism. It was an incident of a disturbed service member, that the press said "Hey, army + officer + psychological + kill only gives us a week to profit off of this. I know, add the words terror and muslim to it, we can run that shit for a month."

No, I got it from the officers it happened to.

There were two O's on my crew in prototype who were forced to go subs. Technically, they "volunteered", but thats only because they volunteered not to resign their commissions and pay back their academy tuitions on the spot when they went for their interviews.

I've heard that line before...

I actually called and changed my airline tickets to arrive in Pearl a couple days early so I can check out the various memorials (as well as the rest of the joint) before I report in. I'm sure it will be a very humbling experience, but I'm excited.

Interesting way to get a nuke bonus without the chance of being forced to go subs.... I don't know if that was your intention, but if it was...

I'd have thought that someone on AW wrote that column. You know, with the whole only reading the first couple lines and all..
