Vyre, Just do this one thing and you will be fine. When you get to the ship as a fresh out of school third class, or if you re-enlist for that E-5 auto promote, do NOT act like you're the ***just because you are a petty officer. Remember that you will have no real experience until you get to the ship and you spend some time at sea and get qualed. After you get qualed and you know your stuff, then you can act how ever you want. As a third class conventional working with Nukes, i had to put a few E-5 and even a few E-6 nukes in their place because they acted all high and mighty even though they had never been to sea and werent qualed a damn thing......
"oh baby,i took one look at you,and you broke my heart monitor"
Could probably work with that. Though the sound of someone even having a heart monitor makes them sound old and decrepit so why bother with them lol (unless you're a gold digger, that's a good sign then!)
Xax, are you Surface of Subs? I'm a Sub-Vol, and I wouldn't worry. I never act high and mighty around anybody. Not even the *** ups around here.
I'm a surface MM. I was on CVN-65 (wont say the name here, look it up if you want and you will see why) for 5 years, worked down in the Main Space.
The non-qual E-6 i mention was kind of.....yeah. We wrapped up the '07 deployment and went into the shipyards. He came on board around the time we first entered the yards/dry dock. He came as a 3rd class, star re-enlisted for second, and picked up 1st on his first test. He had never been to sea, was not actually qualified anything (i was qualed and had been on the last deployment) and acted like he was high and might for picking up first on his first try. I even got written up for bad mouthing him by a first class i actually respected. Funny thing was tho that even while writing me up he mentioned how the guy i was being "Disrepectful" really wasnt a first and still had alot to learn before he could "take charge."
TL;DR: i don't really have much respect for most nukes of any rank except chief, because they pick up rank WAY too fast and have minimal experience.

Your reasoning for not saying its name makes me sad. :<

Every time i say "I served on the Enterprise for 5 years" i get every manner of star trek joke and reference tossed my way. Was funny the first 20 times, after that it got beyond old and tiring. So, because of that, i now just say "I served on CVN-65 for 5 years"

Most of my instructors in Power School were respectable, but most of them were 11 year~20+ year service members. Was a real privilege being taught by most of them.
My Chief in Power School served on the Enterprise. He was laid back and awesome. Was in going on his 19th year last year. In fact, my classroom had pictures of a carrier, not the Enterprise, labeled as the Enterprise. Complete with CVN-65 :P So I knew~
I've still got to make it through hold and prototype before I get to a boat. The command is making my hold period more a nightmare than it should be though. Prototype sounds rough to me, so not looking forward to that either, but oh well xD
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
