WEBSITE AT: WWW.DG.NAVY.MIL
I promised my wife I'd post it up since she is doing an email announcment to the faily and close friends. For those of you who don't understand the above mumbo jumbo, it's stating that I"m going to Ft. Mead for schooling in Oct-Feb and Diego Garcia for a year this coming March. So the Detailer came through and I'll be without Paintball for a year but most of all, I'll be seperated from my wife and kids for the same amount of time. It's going to be different being seperated and all, I really got used to the family as a constant but, it's only for a year and then I get first dibs on what ever ship I want for three more.
As with any new command and situation, It's all on what you make of it and what you do to keep yourself occupied. I guess I'll be working out and doing a bunch of college courses since I'll have more than ample time to work on it. I'm just happy that I had a serious talk with my wife and went through most of the pros anc cons on these orders. I would've never sought them out if she wasn't taken care of and agreable to them. Good thing for family in Hawaii. LOL!
Well now I gotta start getting things in order and calling a few people to say, "Hey I'm coming over what do you have for me?"
I'll put some stuff up but for now, I got to get back to work.

Those high fees are so Punisher can provide scuba gear to the tech who has to swim out the length of the cable to Garcia to fix any breaks.

LOL! I guess when you're out and away from evrything else, there's a price to pay.
-
That's a good question though, how does one fix a break in the cable if there is one?
-

You don't. Those undersea cables have extra lines in them for redundancy. When enough lines go bad you lay a new cable.
-

In this particular case, it doesn't go out by undersea cable. It goes out by satelite (Milstar B)

Yeah, but rumor is that US submarines can find those fiber cables and tap into them to monitor communications too. Think I read that in Popular Science a while back.

We've had that ability for a long while. The funny thing is that with the launching if the Jimmy Carter, we are owning up to it.
-
I hated Diego Garcia and I was only there for a day. The frelling British Customs agent took my porn mags (hint hint) - yeah we had to go through British Customs from our US military flight to get into the US military base...go figure. Housing sucked...sharks and sharp reefs sucked...but it was a beautiful view...
Good luck and stay sane!

I spent a few weekends allowed to us for some R&R after rescuing a downed B-1 crew while playing airguard after 9-11.
I know what you are talking about but, I'm planning on concentraiting on finishing some of my college courses and some other stuff.
Oh, I do know about the no porn rule on the island, it's also noted on the website under their customs section. I guess I'll just have to make do.
-
If you want to get on his good side, ask "How can such a big pr*ck be offended by porn? I don't get it"..
British Customs love it when you talk dirty to them.

One year deployments blow.
Here's a prayer for some extra leave time popping up, and for time to move on by quick.
-
Thanks J. This actually a PCS for me not a deployment. I think it's a sweet deal and all since this is supposedly a one year billet counting as two so, my sea rotation is shrunk down when I go to a ship. After that, I should have a few years remaining to rotate to a shore command and retire.
The thing that really sucks is leaving my beloved back home but in the long run, it pays off. I should have a bit of leave in between but, space A flights to the island is a bitch from what I'm hearing. I guess I can try to get Amy to meet me in another country though, that would be pretty sweet.
-
Ferret, don't they give you a .mil address? Sheesh, I'm a contractor and I have one. Can't surf the "good" sites, but it will let me Google and E-bay from work, and I have e-mail too.
I guess the sad part for Diego is that there are no more R&R's to the Phillipines. I'd watch those dudes get off the plane at Clark and they'd be down on MacArthur Blvd in less than an hour, spend a week in a bar, and have no money to speak of. Heck, the Salty Dog posted amounts spent and by whom.
Take care, and suck up to the SATCOM folks, we've been known to give a few free phone calls or two (like in Korea, we had an "excercise" where the barracks phones were tied into the radio relay van, shot to our location, transferred to SATCOM, then shot to Camp Roberts for DSN access..worked like a charm)

Oh I'll be getting a .mil adress no doubt, but I'll be doing online courses while I'm there and because of restrictions for certain e-mail addresses, I won't be able to access my private account through a .mil and I'll have to get commecail access. So I'll be using their commercail services for other things than military.
Oh I know about that SATCOM guys, I'm going to do my best to get some time on the phones. I'm not to worried about the R&R flights since there are a few that do go to Hawaii and, I'm going to do my best to get on one of them or arrange for my wife to meet me somewhere (maybe Thailand or India).
Thanks for the advice

Meet in another country?
SECOND HONEYMOON!!!
Ask the kids what flavor they want their new sibling to be! ;)
And those 'one for 2' deals can be a great thing... that way you are able to build up the retirement points and get out a lot faster... and retiring at 46 beats 47 any day.

My thoughts exactly. I'm just hoping it doesn't stunt my carreer growth in the long run since I'll be up for chief again a second time. I guee it's a wait and see deal for now.

That could be to your benefit as it will also put you far away from negative politics and possibly in a situation that has some positive one going for you.
-
True, I just hate how my career now deals with 50% honest sweat and bullets(Tests and evals) and 50% politics (What ever the Navy requires for chiefs that particular year)

Well, I spent some time on DG way back in the 80's or early 90's. The carrier pulled in there like 5 times one deployment. (I was in a squadron onboard at the time.) Nice beaches, nice view, lots of crabs and supposedly sharks in the water. The one club I went to was OK, first time I drank red beer. And a couple of the folks from the VP squadron deployed there took us in and fed us amareto sours one night too. I think the VPers were about the only females on the island back then.
Anyway, good luck and all of that. Spending that much time away from the family surely sucks. But hopefully in the end it will work out for the best. Is this a job that will help you towards making Chief?

Wow, I'm really suprised that they allowed a carrier to pull in, They had a sweat ex on a DDG. The lib we had to pull was done in small shifts. That must have been a real task to get a carrier accomidated. :o
-
It was definitely interesting. I don't think I saw a "native" the whole time we were there. We also did flight ops from anchor one day, that was interesting! lol

Flight Ops from anchor, that probably be really neat to watch.

Everybody hide the rum, she's back! ;D

DGAR!!!!
Bon Voyage!!!
Anchors Aweigh, my boys, Anchors Aweigh.
Farewell to college joys, we sail at break of day-ay-ay-ay.
Through our last night on shore, drink to the foam,
Until we meet once more. Here's wishing you a happy voyage home.
...I know...its an island...haha...but as a bit of trivia it comes under afloat accountng rules...
And I all know you are just dying to hear that...lol

Arghhhhh!
"Up Periscope!"
;D

Arggghhhhh, she's back to poop on our rum party! ;D

Jack should I be weary of Johnny Dep types in pirate costumes?
-
Not at all bro. I could have sworn your wife was posting somewhere recently. ;D
Have ya'll seen the movie yet? It rocks! ;)
-
I'll tell Alien to ge back on. But, she was cruising through some of the other threads a week back. You can blame me on that with the upcoming transfer and the introduction of another online community.
I haven't seen the movie yet but, most likely we will.

We have to see the first movie before we go to see the new one. I didn't want to be disapointed in the movie that had Orlando Bloom but not the HOTTIE ELF! ;D
-
The first one has a killer DVD version. If ya got 2 1/2 hours (They never rip your money off on the time) then sit back and enjoy, the one at the movies is killer too (Again, 2.5 hours, so go easy on the cokes), and the best thing? No more 3 year wait for a sequel, it will be out next summer! ;D

Being an IC in the navy I've seen the first one plenty of times since we had to show it throughout the ship. Since everyone couldn't see it at the same time, we got allot of requests to play it again and again and again......
I guess seeing the DVD with plenty of extras would be a refreshing change. Thanks for the recommendation. I'll have to pick it up.

Just to add
I got this (http://www.dynaverse.net/forum/index.php/topic,163368587.0.html) for my schooling in Ft Mead and time in DG.

It's the new baby in the house. I'm sure it'll be used for more than just games . . .

Wow! Do they allow dependents to be there too? I heard Diego Garcia is a blast!

1 yr without wifey, and just men around? Not good, not good at all!

Might be good for a single man, then...
I saw a L-O-T of H-O-T females working as gov't contractors (among other things ;) ) in theater in Iraq. Most were with KBR, some were Raytheon, others were with folks as mundane as FedEx... but they were GIRLS!

I do not think Alien is gonna wanta hear us say guys talk. ;)
That's a very hard assignment dude. You sure you can't skip on it? I mean, it's not like you need it to retire? I'm not gonna comment anymore, my big mouth gets me into trouble.
-

Hey, I was thinking for a friend of mine. He's single, in the reserves, and needs tohurry his time so he can get his retitrement locked in. That would give him bookoodles of retirement points.
