[samori]

how old school are you?

I thought females became ships company in 72 or something.

not on combatants. I believe around 72 they were put on tenders / oilers / supply ships etc.... Not sure what year they started be put on small boys.

All kidding aside, females were on my last DDG I was on when I retired .

Soo just submitted my preliminary application to the Naval Academy, hopefully ill hear back soon so i can get rolling on this application process.

Anyone here was in the Junior Enlisted Assocation, when they were a junior enlisted? I plan on started one at my base, they already have one but not for the greenside Corpsman. Any tips ?

Yea, after goggleing it, its only a hospital thing it looks like. Like there are Second class petty officer associations also but its probably only a corpsman thing also. Oh well i got some pretty solid ideas im stoked about trying to start it.

Thanks bud, i figured i would give both STA-21 and USNA/NAPS a try, although the LTJG i had a meeting with is being flakey. He told me to email him after i got back from my TAD and we would set something up. I did so, have yet to get a response its been about 5 days if i don't have a response tomorrow mourning may just slide by his office, im thinking he may be on leave though cause of labor day and all.

[bluemarlinO4]

The decon was the worst part for me, I definately know what you mean about feeling like your drowning. And i reflashed a little bit on my fore arms and behind my ear, thankfully though it wasn't nearly as bad as the first decon

just bother people until they help you. Its usually what it takes.

dont let people be lazy and phuck you over because of it. its their job to assist you, remember that.
the other bluemarlin who is an O can probably tell you more about what officers do and why alot of them are such lazy pos but you keep bothering that dude and get your app in.

[samori]

what did u retire as if u don't mind me asking?

2001.

[samori]

was on that ship for almost 4 yrs before I retired.
I can probably count on one hand how many females checked on board and never finished a full sea tour before leaving for some reason or another.

Have met several good female sailors though. There are just too many that take advantage of the system and gives the whole idea a bad name.

[bluemarlinO4]

Female corpsman are the absolute worse. I cannot stand them. I try so hard too, but most of them are lazy whiners.

BRB hospital duty 20 years.
BRB never deploying.
BRB not held to the same standards as male corpsman.
BRB claiming pride and recognition as a corpsman when in reality they sat in a hospital for 20 years.

agreed then they whine about getting treated unfair and get good evals for having tits.

E-4 exam in the A.M. hope i do well.
Got my letter back from USNA and i am an official candidate and working on knocking things off this long ass list to get done.

hi just a question, i am planning to invest in the TSP as soon as I enter the service, but how much of my pay is recommended to go towards TSP? sorry im noob with this stuff

[GregAF83]

10% of base pay

[nutsy54]

It's all up to you. 15% into all retirement savings is a rule of thumb for Dave Ramsey.

As someone else mentioned, you could just start with 10%, which means you'll see minimal impact on your paycheck. After that, simply bump it up by 1% every time you get a raise...

[Chill Will 33]

I do 10% of base pay and 100% of sea/haz duty/seperation

[Nick1206]

OP I have a question for you. How do you feel about the PTS system? LOL only asking cause they got my azz with it after 7.5 years in.


Actually I guess this applies to all of us,

[cBurN]

i like the PTS policy. It eliminates all the retards and idiots from the Navy. If you work hard and don't get in trouble chances are u wont have to worry about it. If u get NJP's and are a dirt bad at work u deserve to get kicked out.

The underlying concept is needed - But I don't think it uses enough data (or allows enough command input) to best choose which Sailors should "go", if numbers need to be reduced for a specific rating & year group. It should also allow more heads-up and option to cross-rate if that's going to be someone's only option to stay in.

This. The concept is good especially for some of the CPO's who are ROAD (Retired on Active Duty). But many people are getting shafted without warning. If you're going to boot someone at least give them fair warning. The problem is you can be a great sailor but if you're rate is over manned you're just out of luck and they say thanks for everything.

[Troll_Patrol]

so recently found out having Eagle Scout will be giving me E-3 before i get to boot. awwwww yeahhhhhhhh!!

[Chill Will 33]

From the way I understand it it applies to every enlisted under 15 years of active service.

E6 and below and E7 and up with over 20 go to a retention board

so basically you are only safe once you make Chief before your 20 year mark....the rest of the time you are on the chopping block.

PTS is actually screwing all the good guys and saving the sh!tbags from what I can see

Damn, well that sucks for the people who actully deserve to be here. But from so far what i have seen around my base the people that are getting taken out by PTS, it will benefit the Navy. The people i am talking about one of em work with me and he's a cool guy, but a **** bag none the less and got 2 NJP's and still disobeying rules, he deserves to go in my opinion. Most of the people getting out need not worry the Army likes picking up the Navys trash anyways.

It no longer ceases to amaze me how many ignorant things you've said as some boot Corpsman in the last month or two. Didn't know you guys got to claim 'salty' status in less than a year.

I lolz^^^^

[samori]

every so often the Navy as well as the other services will use different programs to downsize. None of the programs, designed to weed out those with less potential, are perfect and on occasion some good people are lost in the shuffle.
Most of those were unfortunately in the wrong rate.

Majority of the people let go have something somewhere in their past that cause their "potential points" to drop. They just don't say it or you don't know about it. But they'll tell you how they are getting screwed.
NJP
alcohol related incidents
avoiding tougher assignments of your rate (sea duty for example)
not taking advancement tests when eligible due to procrastination
no warfare pin when you had ample time on ship or squadron
inconsistent weight or PFT standards- yeah- don't forget that fail when you were hungover 3 yrs ago.
being a Cowboy's fan
etc.....
