The chiefs mess all paid in and they set up repeaters throughout the whole ship lol. Strictly kept it to e-7 and above but no officers.
Turns out even criminal conspiracy and a court martial wont get you demoted from chief.

On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and NOT drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.

navy is really fricking up left and right
there was that commander the other day who got relieved of duty for posting a picture of himself shooting a gun with the scope on backwards.

tbh I don't think officers even shoot guns except like once during training. most af/navy ENLISTED only ever shoot guns during basic, except for secfo/ milpolice who have to shoot regularly.
oh and maybe army/ marines im not sure i know they have a rifle week but i don't know much shooting they do

Did he assemble that gun set up himself? Like they still have guns around for officers?

He was probably disliked by the people he led so the armorer handed him a gun with the scope backwards to make him look r-slurred.
I don't think he was fired for the picture more likely the loss of confidence in his ability to lead.

idk all Marines shoot at least once a year as a service requirement so that's around 2-3 weeks on the range and tables 1-6, the specific stuff for their unit and MOS METL like combat arms has to shoot heavies and probably maybe CQB and sometimes just to burn ammo

How often do you think Navy officers use guns as part of their job
Jump in the discussion.

At least in Canada, you would have rifle and pistol training in officer basic training, with annual re-qual, its not at all difficult, but you need to operate the systems to a basic level of proficiency
Even without those re-quals I would expect, at a minimum, a naval officer of any trade and rank should be able to know how to shoulder a rifle and know that the scope is mounted in the right direction, if not in an optimal position fore or aft, (I'd excuse the foregrip positioning) its not that complicated
He's managed to reach command, and with the pic being this sloppy (if you don't know ask and he should know enough to ask) the loss of confidence makes sense

What kind of r-slur argument is this? They literally are trained to use rifles.

Not uncommon when dealing with pirates or other motorboat small craft.

commonly resort to AKs when attacked by naval drones (aka remote guided torpedo boats, ww2 tech), but you clearly need at least .50 cal to stop unmanned boat.

The whole thing is embarrassing.
1. Scope is on backwards
2. Shoulder stock isn't against the shoulder
3. Chickenwing arm = bad shooting stance
4. Foregrip not mounted nearly far enough out
5. Again how do you mount a scope backwards and never realize between setting it up and using it for this photo
