'bout time https://news.usni.org/2016/09/29/navy-eliminating-241-year-old-rating-system-new-enlisted-rank-overhaul But why did they not just call them MOS like Army/Marine Corps?

As hurricane seasons hits full stride, following summer thunder storms season, that followed spring tornado season...it got me wondering why does Navy host their flight training at NASP? DD is about to finish primary but would have been done long ago if not for flights postponed due to weather...

Been along time since my last visit ... DD (USMC 1st LT - USNA 2014) will be completing Advanced Flight Training in a couple of months. I'm looking for ideas of an appropriate gift her mom and I can present when she gets her wings? Thanks

I saw a bulletin this morning announcing that our on-base chapel will be hosting vacation Bible school this summer. My initial reaction was… why is only Bible school offered and no others? Why not vacation Koran school? Why not vacation Book of Mormon? Bhagavad Gita? Tipitaka? Also, why is any...

OPNAVINST 1740.5B says members will be approved for overseas orders if DTI <30%. Question for you old salts: Is "overseas duty" the same as "sea duty"? Meaning, is being stationed in Naples the same as being assigned to the USS Alwaysunderway? If not, is a sailor (E4) prohibited from...

My heart goes out to the family and to the entire Brigade. I know its a sad day on the Yard. LINK

DD got first choice: Marine Corps Air :w00t:

One less thing for these volunteers to be worried about.

How about a card that gives a X% discount at any grocery store? Wouldn't that accomplish the same thing without the "nearly $1.4 billion in annual taxpayer subsidies."?

And idea for discussion: Close the SA's and grow all officers through ROTC programs and have them spend a year at a SA to hone their leadership/military skills? A quick look at the numbers says that we could totally close 4 of 5 SA's. Doing so would probably also lead to more and...

My DS is a newly minted MA and is stationed in the Norfolk area. He needs to buy a car and is wondering if he should register it in VA or in CT (his HoR). In CT we have to have emissions testing done ($20) but no mechanical inspection. I keep seeing in For Sale ads that this car "has current VA...

My DOD sticker allowed me to park on the Yard. Wonder what this will do for (the already tight) parking problem on SA's? How many additional weekend restrictions will be earned by underclassmen attempting to slide by? :shake: Anyone care to wager on how long it takes before officers get...

Couldn't find it in quick search... 5 years (academy) + 2 (flight school) = 7 owed, after receiving wings. Is this correct? Heard it might be 5 + 4 = 9 (again after wings). Is it the same for Marine Corps aviation? If there's a wait to get into flight school does that time count...

Inspection earns a D and 17 Minute Man missile launch officers need "additional training". Story While it might be fun to bash the AF, this raises a more important question: Why do we still have these units at all? Can anyone imagine an instance where we would actually launch a ICBM...

For...you guessed it: Sexual Battery LINK Plus, from the picture it looks like he had a pretty rough time of it. You just can't make this stuff up.

Got your attention!!! Does anyone know when 1/C have to vacate Bancroft before commissioning?

For the 3rd year in a row. Get to meet Kentucky in NY on Sunday. Go Navy!

Planning for 2014 - so while I'm tardy I'm not late. :biggrin: Using the 2013 schedule it appears that most things are fairly generic up until the Sup's Reception - which for my Mid would be on Tuesday (27th Company) Do these rotate? What is the N* Reception; and can we and is it worth...

The DS of a friend is interested in NA. I'll give him this fourm to mine for info but also want to send me his BGO. Searching this site all I see are references to the alumni association which is no help. Can someone please provide a link to the URL where the current list resides or better...
