Yeah dipshit, you only told me you were in Mayport, what...2 days before you went to Kawaii-land?
I was there for 13 years.
lol. are you still in the area?
Back in Louisiana
Dude fuck BMR when I haven't even been on a ship -.-...I would absorb everything if I been on one
Studying bmr stuff reading bibs n shit...
lol. BMR is shit you learned in boot camp, stop being awful. I just got my orders like 5 minutes ago, brb calling medical to set up my screenings
Lol I know all history / ceremony / flags / Etc, but certain questions like what specific light to be used during a certain speed of the ship I'm just lost lol. I don't think any other rate has to study as much as we do...prob a nuke...but doubt any other rate.
Bahrain
Sounds a lot like the boarding process for NCOs in the Army. You have to have a firm grasp of the basics, as well as your job skills, and then have solid knowledge of unit-specific missions and tasks...as well as some miscellaneous bull. When I had to go to the promotion board to pick up E5 (way back in 2005) during my active duty days, I had to know the Ranger Creed...in the 82nd Airborne, which is decidedly NOT a Ranger unit.
Oh yeah, I was also an intel weenie.
I knocked that shit out of the park, though. 150/150 on that board.
Bahrain is $$$$$$
Bahrain is good duty from what I've heard. Stopped there for port during cruise. Only place they thought we wouldn't destroy after 159 consecutive days at sea, it's still blurry. You sure as shit love that $$$, Abandon..
I was in Bahrain for 48 hours meeting my ship mid-deployment, and from my short time there I realized it was pretty much a shithole. Awesome money, though...the IDP was sweet
good luck on advancement doc!
