Hey Carol!

like

-> -> squaredance on the public dance floor.
-> 
-> hn> Hmmm, much different dance (grin) I'll bet they laugh their butts off
-> hn> Shaggy dog movies from disney!
-> 
-> Ohh!  Never thought about that one!  Kinky!
-> 
And scarey!

the "New

-> 
-> Money is tighter now but for reasonable reason.  I can deal with it. 
Scheduling
-> a class is the problem now.  Some stuff you are *required* to have isnt 
-> available at all and I dont mean just 'inport time' but not there at all.
-> 
You have no  choice but to deal with it, but it's still stupid, I'm a strong 
proponent of prudent fiscal policies,but when Congress gives themselves pay 
raises in the middle of the night and still manages to short our military (or
at 
least the portions of the service that are not in vouge at the moment) of 
vital equipment, and training it's STUPID.

-> Yup.  That PO2 now has a life from hell.  Seems there was worse behind it 
and

because he

-> was leaving her hanging oj more than just Duty section stuff.  We are BM 
Chief 
-> low and she doesnt have one.  They moved ina quality BM1 to her division 
and i 
-> kinda took her under my wing too (I'm not deck but what the hell).

A PO 2 that's been in six years is on the border, I made E6 in less than six 
and if you're gonna stay in you should at least be on a better track than E5 
after six. Says something about his motivation, drive, and character if he's 
this way...my guess he's not a 4.0 sailor in other respects. I'm sure whoever 
does his next eval will take all of this into consideration. Did he have a 
Captains mast over this or is it all being handled "internally"?
And even if you're not Deck, you're still shipmates and what goes on on your 
ship is your business. Which division do you come under anyway? OPS?
-> 
-> hn> bad pony every day. Now bos'n's arent generally regarded as the intell

-> 
-> He's supervising the refit of the 13 heads and we gave him the restrictoids 
to

passed

married 
-> sono family is suffering).
-> 
He's lucky to be getting ashore at all in my book!
