Nobody likes to be rejected, one is the loneliest number :(

He's close to DT but he'll never go out with the bros. So if you're super nerdy and don't like fun he's your man--literally, he's probably into that too.

I get what you're saying. Copy all.

Thanks, replied.

Brett, Don't get me wrong, I understand almost (likely everyone) here has more experience as an Officer than I do, and I truly appreciate the collective wisdom found around here. My original point was that as an officer, really any leader for that matter, one should hold themselves to the...

Many thanks, I appreciate the heads up.

We're a fleet requirement, they have to let enough of us through to balance out your standard Tom Cruise wanna be Academy grads. In all seriousness though, its not so much a chip on the shoulder, as it is a core belief that a sailor is a sailor, regardless of rank. Officers are put in a place...

Pretty legit.

You both may have missed this: "Obviously the gray area that causes problems is "flight-related duties" which really should include anything you're doing at the squadron (ie, bags all day at work)." To answer your question, yes, I would wear khakis all day if I required my division to be in...

I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes, but I will speak fairly candidly. I very well may not fully comprehend flight suit regulations. However, I do know this much: flight suits are not a service uniform and as such are not authorized for wear in public (save your standard quick stops like...

Depends on the situation. Unless told otherwise, I would call any higher rank sir. Obviously if you know that person they are going to tell you "call me X" right away and then you don't have to worry about it anymore. However, exceptions to this would be when receiving a direct order or...

The only thing that irritates me about flight suits is the double standard many officers have when it comes to flight suits and coveralls. The same people that would yell at enlisted sailors for wearing their coveralls home would be the same officers that were wearing their flight suits out in...

Or, you can just request electronic statements on all your accounts and then you never have to change anything ever again. Keep your state of legal residence in a state that gives you great tax benefits (FL comes to mind), and then the only thing you ever have to worry about is your DL renewal. ;)

If you burn your full move without bringing your wife along, and she keeps a bunch of stuff with her, the Navy won't pay to have it moved later, which would be especially dumb if you get orders from Whiting Field to anywhere else in Florida.

PCS'ing is not equal to having accompanied orders. The real question is whether or not married guys get accompanied or unaccompanied orders. According to wlawrl, API orders are unaccompanied. I've been trying to get a straight answer myself, but if his gouge is accurate, then expect to go solo...

I think the important verbage from the instruction is: "people decide to leave". Since API orders are unaccompanied, and its without choice, I believe you actually qualify for BAH at the previous rate; however, as suggested I'll call up PSD. Seriously though, I appreciate you taking the time...

Wow, I had no idea, neither did anyone else in my command--including both aviators that have previously been to API... Thanks for the heads up. I assume then that BAH will continue at the rate of my previous duty station, where my wife is living?

Similarly, I'm also looking to go geo-bach, with the stipulation that I can get a fully PCS dity after completing API. My wife is trying to wrap up a year working at the hospital shes at now, so she wants to stay until July. I'm trying to see if I can get unaccompanied API orders so that I can...

I think you're jumping the gun a bit. Younger, as in age/ maturity, is the main factor for me. I'm about as green as ensigns get, I'm still waiting for orders to leave my school. You might be able to understand then why I would find it harder to fit into the 20-21 year old crowd of people...

You're probably right, and the older we all get, the less obvious the age difference becomes in the long run anyway.

Damn. I am prior, married and have children, and I definitely feel strange socializing with my younger peer group, so I generally don't. Having had an instructor and a few priors explain the risk factors of this behavior has really opened my eyes--especially the bit about just another Navy BS...

I'm a recently commissioned O1E with a 1390 designator and was wondering if there are any other priors waiting to class up at API? Just looking to make contacts for when I roll out to the beach A-Pool in a month or so. Also, any word on the number of guys being farmed out to Vance (for primary)?
