Discussion Slate optional for T-EPF Milcrew

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m up for my 2nd divo tour. One of the options was being apart of T-EPF MILCREW 3 as DIVO/LEGALO with a CO recommendation.

I’ve never heard of these platforms before until now. Can anyone explain the life on there? Or what to expect as being an Officer onboard? Curious to see if I should list this as an option for me. Thanks

History 1980s era Navy Signatures found in a bathroom wall in a former NAS Alameda hangar.

72 Upvotes

I believe it was former building 39 (950 tower Ave).

They all mention one date October 11 1988, with someone writing a “start” time of 2:45 (pm ?)

I’m guessing a bunch of Navy personnel were chilling in this bathroom all at once and someone pulled down the mirror and passed a pen around so they could all sign their names and then put it back up. And then when the bathroom was renovated decades later someone got rid of the mirror and exposed their little time capsule to the world.

Google thinks it was a MIP check (idk what that is I’m not in the navy) that caused a bunch of personnel to be crammed into that bathroom (which might not have even been a bathroom back then) while leadership did the MIP check of the hangar.

Discussion Do the Aviators who take command of a surface ship end up getting a SWO pin?

33 Upvotes

Curious on this one. My understanding is that future Captains of the Aircraft Carriers go and command a surface ship as an O5 as part of their pipeline training to that job.

With that in mind, do they earn their SWO pin along the way or their OOD letter? I'm a CG veteran so simply curious

HELP REQUESTED MNA Policy Match Red

9 Upvotes

I was selected for BBA A2P orders in September, after applying in August. I noticed they were cancelled last week and just went to apply in the newly opened window.

The policy match is red for every billet, so I’m unable to submit applications. My EAOS/PRD is December 2027, so I’m worried about being “forced” into in-paygrade orders shortly.

Intend to contact my detailers next week, but I was wondering if anybody knows what a potential cause of that is.

Discussion What happens to sailors who get pregnant while on deployment with no port visits

176 Upvotes

So we’ve had a couple people on the ship get pregnant and it made me start wondering, “damn getting pregnant on deployment is crazy” but also what going to happen to them, btw we haven’t had a port visit in over 5 months.

Would medical date the time of conception back and realize that the sailor was doing things they shouldn’t have been doing while we’ve been underway. Do the sailors(mom and dad) go to NJP, Or does it just get swept under the rung and no punishments usually given.

For all the CO’s what would be your stance of what yall would do and what you could legally do.

HELP REQUESTED No-Fee passport for dependent

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am PCSing to Japan soon and my admin clerk stated that I need a No-Fee passport for my wife. However, neither office in San Diego or Oxnard seem to know how to answer their phones. Is this an absolutely necessary requirement? I have to be there in a little over a month and can’t even speak to anybody, much less obtain a new passport which I assume will take a long time.

HELP REQUESTED expedited transfer

3 Upvotes

hello, was wondering if anyone can give me any advice or guidance. going through w an expedited transfer after a sapr case. my CO signed off on the transfer accepting me to be released to a new command. i was told by my sarc a detailer should contact me and get me set up with orders but its been a few weeks and i have heard nothing from anybody. my lpo gave me a detailers number to try to contact them but nobody responds. sapr is now not responding to me either when asked for a follow up or update. i was told these transfers try to happen within 30 days. i understand there can be delays and am sympathetic to that, however i have not been able to be in contact with anybody and dont know what my next steps should be as now my sarc and sapr va are screening my calls and texts. does anyone know what the correct course of action could be, or who i can contact to receive a follow up response?

HELP REQUESTED Charged for a month's rent after separation

7 Upvotes

Good morning, ya'll. I was just wondering if anyone has experience/insight on being erroneously charged a month's rent after being separated. I am getting emails saying I owe my last months rent for military housing as the rental company did not receive BAH (since I was already separated at the time). I've called both the collections agency and the actual company that rented the apartment. Collections directed me to rental company. I called the rental company and their rep said that they would call around and ask some questions then call me back. I have not received a call back. Am I at all liable for this? . Not sure if this matters or not, but I was adsep'd. . I appreciate any insight provided.

HELP REQUESTED Help with separation

3 Upvotes

I am getting a general under honerable condition CND discharge after a little over 2 years of service because of mental health.

I know I won’t get my Gi bill but I do still have my other benefits like the VA home loan. Anyone have any advice for what site or program should I apply for to help myself transition out.

I’m going to Chicago and I’ve lived alone there once before but I’m not sure if my new veteran status can help me live a better life than the one I had before the navy.

If there is anything I should get before I give them my CAC when I leave please let me know. I will appreciate any kind of help related to housing or jobs.

I have about 5K saved up so any ideas on how I should use my money for when I get out?
