Desertion rate is double of years prior, ships are struggling to meet operational/training requirements, and national media is realizing how bad our working conditions are; yet, leadership has the gall to leave CPS comments when they tour waterfront boats. Out of touch, much?

"TRIC, why are you so obsessed with batch feeding?" Because the reactor deserves to have a little bit of fun and you do too! Feed fast today!

Some days I leave work and I have zero pens. Some days I leave work and I have five pens. I haven't bought pens in over a year. Am I the single thief in the Navy?

It is a failure on the part of the Navy that sailors in port cannot be guaranteed two consecutive days off once a week.

Two crew submarines are great because it really does give each crew a common enemy to unite against.

Wild take: A lone submarine crew shouldn't need to be warfighters, maintenance experts, refit planning gurus, and flawless bureaucrats all at the same time.

Leaving after 8 hours of work isn't lazy, it's supposed to be normal. The Navy has forced itself into a state where crews in-port often work longer hours than when they're at-sea. It's no secret why we can't keep the fleet manned.

CTE Scores are like WAF numbers. Made up, irrelevant, and a real pain to deal with when you get the wrong one

Russia has invaded Ukraine. Kyiv is being shelled. These are fretful times. All the jokes aside, I wish Ukraine the absolute best and I hope we as the United States take the right actions to de-escalate the situation. Pack your seabags just in case.

PNEO grads have the weirdest knowledge. They can't remember half the machines outside the RC but they can definitely tell you why Hyman G. Rickover himself decided to put a 4.2° incline in the check valve upstream of CH-69 and how it protects the core during emergency startups

This Wordle game seems an awful lot like the Pigs & Bulls game that was most definitely never around in Maneuvering. 🤔

Rickover was an incredible man for 2 reasons: 1. He put safe, powerful, and reliable nuclear reactors on warships 2. He convinced America that their 20-something college dropout children were the perfect people to run them. Thanks dad

I'm late to the party and this is not related to NNPP but Spiderman: No Way Home is the best marvel movie yet. If you haven't seen it yet and have been following the franchise at all, I can't reccomend it highly enough.
