Dang, your gonna be one of them. An officer that steps out of college and suddenly knows what the military is all about. I don't think any officer in the military should be commissioned before serving a term as enlisted. To be a good leader, you must have once been a good follower. I haven't met and officer in the Navy that fits those qualities yet

Also, I don't think thats breaking it to anyone really. Its 100 times easier to become and officer once you have been enlisted. We don't have to goto half of that "constructive" training you guys go through because we already know how the military works, and prior enlistee's make far better leaders anyways.

pfff I'm O7

In the Canadian Army they do what, flip burgers?

[mcheddadi]

in E4 and bellow

[adidas2go]

Almost every US Navy enlisted has flipped burgers one day in their life. Its part of the well rounded training they give. Everyone works in the galley for at least a little bit to learn how to make things, and not to complain about things that are made when you go through that line to get the food

I wouldnt say thats entirely true... it all depends on how the "wet behind the ears" officer acts. If he acts like he knows everything, then yeah you are completely right. But i know plenty of guys that are exceptions to the rule.

And im not just joining with my degree and starting fresh. ROTC is all prep for active duty and we dont have the same kind of "constructive" training as guys who just go in with a degree. We have field training which is pretty much BC but more aimed at leadership than following. ROTC is ALL about following, and DET 159 at UCF is one of the best in the Nation

More power to ya for you and your friends being some of the few

However, I deal with a lot of ROTC snots that come aboard the aircraft carrier for training, and complain about shipboard life not being up to their standards and sh*t. Complain about work being to much for them, and whining their way out of anything they want to. Their not being taught to do their jobs correctly if they can weasel their way out of situations they don't want to deal with. Pilots are getting worse and worse as they come through to my air squadron. They all seem to want to carry the load less with each group that filters through. It may be different in the Air Force, but it doesn't seem like the Navy ROTC is doing its job correctly

[mikegtr06]

idk i dont work with pilots.... or anyone that even gets near them... so i cant talk but i will agree with blake that the best officers are prior enlisted.

haha

Systems Engineer for Lockheed Martin --- currently working TTWCS

TTWCS = Tactical Tomahawk Weapons Control System

Are you kidding me?...I'm a Network Engineer for Lockheed Martin in the DOD side under the special programs in Owego NY. Currently holding an SCI clearance. Both my wife and I work there. She holds a TS. Now I have to look you up in the GAL brother

[maxentropy]

No way!! Didn't know the famous Dangeris worked for LMCO! Add me to internal communicator bro! I'm down in King of Prussia / Valley Forge.

[dangeris]

Just tried looking you up on the gal and didn't see your last name of Maxentropy...or is my spidey sense telling me that's not really your last name..I'll shoot you out an email with my last name name..there's two of us in the gal, me and my wife. Trying to get my brother into LMCO as well in VF facility. In fact I work with a lot of folks down there since they are the major hub for all the IP Traffic now

EDIT: Nevermind..just clicked on your name and saw your full name. LOL..you work for IS&GS...NICE!!!! adding you now on communicator so EVPN in and accept the request

[adidas2go]

Try looking up Andy Robin

[dangeris]

Try looking up Andy Robin

Yup..just figured that out Blake..duhhh and I'm a what for who? I feel so silly

[adidas2go]

Lol no worries, but you guys should cross over to the good side, Northrup Grumman

Actually, if maxentrophy works with missles, he might work with my base. Point Mugu over here in CA. Its a pretty serious missle testing base for the Navy.

Ironically, its a missle testing facility and an air base, built on a national wide life site

Makes for more than a few bird strikes per month on the aircraft

[dangeris]

Not sure what Andy's business unit deals with down in Valley Forge but I declined a job with LMCO down in Missile and fire control down in Texas. In retrospect, I think I should have taken it but personal issues was a swaying factor then for me.

Swaying factor = a woman or personal interests?

Anyway, I love my job as it enables me to protect the country I live in. I am in Mission Combat and Support Solutions business unit, and TTWCS is the Weapons Control System-- not the Tomahawk Missile itself. Raytheon makes the missile. We make the system that fires/controls/guides them.

PS- Pretty much all of my program is unclassified. I would never post anything FOUO or classified obviously...

[mikegtr06]

i dont know about you guys but i was told not to discuss my clearances and what i worked on online.... even if its not classified ts/sci or fouo its still pieces of a puzzle......

[Bailman]

Working in the Coast Guard right now just re-enlisted about a year ago. E-5 hopefully pick up E-6 shortly

[Infantry1327]

INFANTRY LEADS THE WAY. HOOAH

[dangeris]

Well, there are a lot of people with our company that holds clearances. In fact, that is distinguished on our badges by the # of diamond symbols. As long as we don't discuss NDA meeting on here, I don't see what big deal is.

KoP mall whats up! Lol, I've walked a few circles around that sucker before...always wanted to go into the LM building too - looks really pimp

[dangeris]

Don't you mean...RANGERS LEAD THE WAY! HOOAH!!!

This is coming from an ex-ranger 16yrs service

[maxentropy]

You are 100% right. However, never did I indicate any clearance, nor that I had one. The company (LMCO) that I work for is public domain knowledge, however what particular program I work on falls under the classification of that particular program. I can state what program I belong to publicly because it's unclassified. I am not scared of anyone kidnapping me for any information since all the information I work around is unclass.

Next time you are down there, give me a holler-- we can meet up. Unfortunately though, can't give you a tour
