All you want to know about being a "chop" (Ask your STuPId Supply questions here)

I knew I could wear them per the Regs...just wanted to make sure it was a "put a bullseye on your back" move at Supply School. Thank you for the info though and good looking out

I could see prior airdales, NASOs and former pilots giving you the business.

The best advice would be to look at the other forum in Airwarriors. They have forums just for commissioning programs. I think that this forum is more focused on information about the supply community. Good luck on getting selected!

I was worried about the "Get those brown shoes off while you are in supply school! vs someone just giving you crap"
You should get some kind of kick back from this site for all the questions you answer on here. Havent seen too many more CHOPS chime in

No you are referring to SWOS, that's a few blocks down CHOPs aren't that anal.

Hell, don't be surprised if someone hands you a NASO PQS for a hook up.

And who knows, I could be one of those CHOP posers looking for a special place on stolenvalor.com

I'm pretty into scuba diving, so I was wondering if supply officers are given the opportunity to be dive officers as well. Since the supply community is restricted line, do we not qualify for dive school?

No. I can't think of a way you would go to dive school. What would be the utility? At most I've heard of Supply Officers qualifying for FMF or SEABEE pins and PTing with DEVGRU, but never dive school.

Also Supply is a Staff Corps not restricted line, although on a sub or small boy it is hard to tell.

I've run across several Supply Officers that were sent to SCUBA school by their commands. They were all serving at EOD, NSW or Diving commands. They're definitely not in the majority, but it does happen....one of those 'right place, right time' things.

Submarine CHOPS can go do Dive School and collect dive pay because they will actually be doing diving work.

There were six of us on my sub: four enlisted and two officers.

The two CHOPS we had were never interested in attending dive school.

I stand corrected. Thanks bubblehead and Imnop.

Geez, what don't we do is the real question.

 

[jleex88]

awesome...just have to hope be in the right place at the right time...or make it the right place and the right time.

thanks for info
