Your Mom is a Garbage Shore-Tour

Am I the only one who thinks the OP is a little bit right?
NROTC is supposed to be a good deal dead end tour. It’s never going to be career enhancing, ever. If it’s a dead end tour AND a shit deal, no one of any value, whether staying in or getting out, will ever do it.

Don’t you have some turbulence to whine about, old man?

Me, complain about turbulence? Only if it interferes with my in-flight drink service.
Fuck 'em, they already paid for their flight. Too late to change now.Don’t you have some turbulence to whine about, old man?
They’re called orders for a reason.
Amazing, I agree with Phrogdriver.
And referencing the Tipping Flight Attendants thread, Brett just once again proved my point.
Are you saying that the pluses and minuses, to include command climate, of different billets doesn’t affect who ends up going there? Of course it does. People get assigned different billets based on their aptitude, personal choice, and needs of the service.
If a previously good deal billet is no longer, it’s going to be less competitive. Instead of the smart guy getting out trying to get a masters, it’ll be the shit deal the Navy gives a guy because he’s leaving anyway.
I'm saying that if people don't voluntarily sign up for those billets, they'll be filled with non-volunteers. I don't know why you'd assume that all the people doing NROTC/getting a masters are the "smart" guys. While I don't want these kinds of shore tours to become unnecessarily painful, as an enterprise, I'm not sure it makes sense to incentivize good deal, pack off billets for people who are going to bail ASAP. My presumption is that the story the OP is trying to convey is not representative of NROTC tours in general.
Because NAE doesn’t value masters for aviators.
Yes, this is well understood, but that has no bearing on my previous statement.

I think OP is right. And good for him for sharing and trying to prevent others from making the same mistake.
I too would like to warn anyone thinking about becoming an 1830. Save yourself and don’t do it. Worst years of my life.
I’m a free man now though.
