Waiting Sux
« on: October 26, 2005, 03:17:38 PM »
Friday is when the Navy detailers post the results for assignments/orders to the next duty station. The waiting is killing me.

I applied for a Frigate homeported in my hometown of Jacksonville, FL (Mayport actually)

I've been trying to get back to Jax for going on 8 years now, ever since I got bamboozled to coming here to Hampton Roads, VA

Those who have any religous beliefs..please pray I get these orders...I just can't take Virginia anymore...and because of my daughter(in Ocala,FL) I can't leave the east coast(well I can, but I don't see her enough as it is).

Besides it's nice to get off work and go home to mom's house, like I did when I was on the SPRUANCE during my first tour (I'll have to leave the family here until school is out)

That's a shame.

In 1987, I was in VF-191. We decommissioned and the detailer had a hardon for sending me to the Constellation. For some reason, he and I got off on the wrong foot. I knew a RIO at VF-51. He talked to his Ops O and as it turned out, my detailer and the Ops O had both served on the Coral Sea. He made a phone call... and what do you know... I got my orders to the Connie and my ord mod to VF-51 on the same day. :aok

OS

Actually most AT billets are shore..since most squadrons only have a few. Most are at AIMD on a Station somewhere or AIMD on a Carrier....figure there are only 13 CV's..even in a squadron, it's like shore duty with a few deployments here and there.

If your Chief knows the detailer, you can still get the hookup.
