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.
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to read them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. This hole is a janny playground, participation implies enthusiastic consent to being janny abused by unstable alcoholic bullies and loser nerds who have nothing better to do than banning you for any reason or no reason whatsoever.

I find it pretty bizarre. My dad tells me that in Vietnam (at least the later part of it) the officers would try to completely sweep under the rug any drug or racial problems that would reflect badly on them. Or if they couldn't do that, scapegoat the enlisted guys for it. But here they had to know they couldn't sweep this under the rug, so why not actually punish some people?
And she was so goddarn brazen about just telling lie after lie where she knew she would get caught. Makes me wonder how many times before this she was obviously breaking the rules and there was just a little wink wink and no consequences.
Reminds me of Alice Guo going into the court and just brazenly lying about things like how many siblings she has. Btw !pinoypride she's fled the country, been caught, extradited back, and taken some selfies with the cops that make me question her sanity. Things are moving so fast it's hard for me to keep up but I'll try to work on a Guogate Update tomorrow.

Vietnam sounds like it was a different era. There was an actual race riot on a carrier and dudes were smuggling heroin using Air Force transports with officers involved

Oh yeah, and here's another thing I hope they've stopped doing by now: Not flushing the potty after you shit if you know the next person in line is white.

Often the sweeping under the rug happens because cleaning house causes a lot of grumbling and upset, and to higher leadership makes it look like your unit is a frick up and you dont have it under control. It's paradoxical, because cleaning house is how you get your unit in order but its seen as a negative because it should magically have not become necessary in the first place. And also all the paperwork and shit going with it is additional work for the top, and potentially makes them also look bad to their leadership, so often it's easier to sweep it under the rug and kick the can down the road until you move on to your next posting in 3 years, and just hope it doesnt blow up until after you're gone so the next guy gets the blame.

There might be a chance of someone sticking their neck out and being the first one to try to clean up the problems if they were motivated enough. But these people know that the LCS is a useless piece of shit that won't even be used if war breaks out, so there's nothing to inspire them to take that chance. Same as any big bureaucracy where people have got to believe they're making a difference: cops, courts, health care, education.
