That's the best Navy exit story I've heard. I'm a former HM1. I remember how serious some of them khakis were. It was bitter sweet when I left. Two years prior I had some depression and went through a med board they were talking about sending me out on psych. I somehow was able to stay and got promoted to First Class. If I had knew sooner that all I had to do was go a little crazy to make rank, I'd been a Master Chief. Anyhow, I was on meds, and did better. I guess it worked in my favor, I was a Corpsman and knew half the hospital anyway. Though I came a ship. Shit. Fast forward I get awesome duty at NAS Atlanta after all of that. I had been in Guam. (NAS Atlanta got closed shortly after I got out ) Because of the antidepressants I started getting thick around the middle, and the PRT killed my career. I had about 16 years of service and a was looking for that perfect retirement command. All is not lost, I get VA benefits now. It was easy to prove service connection
They sit you down in retention and be like “so we have these options for your next duty station”… like naw I’m out get me to CIF and clear my shit I’m gone
@@gamefreak3000dx😂 recently looked at a "behind the scenes" type docu video and the initial impression of the quality of recruit was disturbing. It looked like 90 percent of them had never done a sport or anything competitive in their lives. I'm sure with training many became perfectly good said, but it was not looking good.
@@treasurethetime2463I personally think people should have at least some sports or athletic skills at least to join otherwise its just waisting money on people that are basically garenteed to quit at some point
@@adamhern3394 I was a Metropolitan cop in Anacostia. I never could figure out why the Navy insisted on maintaining a functionally land locked base in that combat zone. 😅
I had an interesting exit story from the Navy. Turns out my EOS date was actually July 4th. Hilariously ironic, but also the bases were closed which meant zero processing me out. I didn't really care, but when July 5th rolled around the base commander pulled EVERY...ONE on base into this auditorium for a base meeting. I was temporarily assigned to this base for my out-processing (left my ship mid-deployment), so no one knew who I was until she POINTS ME OUT in the crowd and says, "THAT sailor was suppose to exit service YESTERDAY and for obvious reasons that did NOT happen. WHO SCREWED THIS UP?!" She apologized to me during that meeting to which I replied, "Ma'am I've been in for, like, four years now...one day isn't gonna kill me." Needless to say I discovered that day that you can, in fact, stamp and staple papers in rage, lol. EVERY member of admin hated me for the CO calling them out, lol.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 my roommate in the navy was like I hate this shit gunna tell them I have feelings for guys that was am time he was out of navy in the pm that day. I had my room back to myself again and loved it.
The Navy has always been hard to get out of. The other branches, if you are not reenlisting will let you out early. I was going to college and needed 3 weeks and the Army gave it too me. They said, do not go on leave and what ever your leave doesn't have we will give. I think they gave me a couple of days, maybe 5, they let be off early to register etc. I went in to the reserves and kept right on kicking.
@@ORINGO92 no east coast sailor. USS Virginia CGN 38. Just remember watching his first appearance in the berthing lounge on a VHS tape sent to me when underway
Warrant Officers in the Navy are a little different than the other forces. Basically you have to be an E-7 before you can even apply to be a Warrant Officer, which means you've been around the block a coupe dozen times already, and are already in a management position. So, that Warrant standing up and acting like that is pretty believable to me. I once saw a Warrant Officer berate a couple of O-1s (brand new officers) for not returning his salute. The O-1s just stood there like deer in the headlights while they got dressed down by the Warrant, mean while the Chief he was with looked on sternly. Keep in mind that O-1s outrank both a Warrant Officer and a Chief, but have only a small fraction of the experience of either of those two. It was a pretty funny situation.
Got out in 2012 and was just happy it was ending. Injured my back. Command didn't care. I had plans for college and all that situated like months prior. School was situated and my command finds out I'm trying to get out and be a nurse after my back kinda healed and all they did was bs me and make life hell. Lol fast forward now and I'm a nurse and service connected. Nursing now even through covid was 100xs better than that bs. When they know you have plans or you're getting situated all they do is hate on you. I told a SFC straight up it's 2012 and it's not like we're invading Normandy which was some real shit. I'm MEDCOM and all I'm doing is wasting my time. If you look at the history of celebrities being in the service who did 4 years or less they all have one thing in common: they quit caring. Too much bs and they're doing fantastic now. Love seeing this man succeeding.
Love this story and channel. So many people are like. I loved the Navy. I was so sad when I had to leave. Not me. My EAOS was done 9-13-83 to 9-12-87. My naval career sucked ass. 6 months RTC command Great Lakes at the indoctrination center as the guy who did medical on arriving recruits. (3am muster.) 7 months on the oncology unit Great lakes Hospital. 7 months clinic work NTC main side. Off to Pendleton after losing orders to BB New Jersey. (2nd class bumped me and I got his 8404.) FmF school that frankly every bit as bad as boot camp. Then off to Supply Battalion where I was the STD corpsman for 18 months. (STD equals sexually transmitted disease.) At 21 I got to tell 172 Marines you have HTLV 3 (HIV.) The Officers and SNCO's wanted no part of that. I did get assigned to training assignments 29 palms and Fort Bragg (Gallant knight.) What sucked about being at Ft Bragg was working with Air Force folks at Pope Air force base. The Air force folks had nice duty. The only time I looked forward to going to work. The funniest time was the last 4 months. I was ducking the retention people. I was just smart enough to tell them I was UNDECIDED if I was going to re-enlist. I saw what happened to sailors who said NO WAY! I am getting out. I watched them put a HM3 on mess duty for his last 100 days after he told the retention people to f leave him alone. I managed to hold the undecided line until 2 days before I was out. My muster out SEABAG inspections where you have to show your entire uniforms collection and anything that is declared unserviceable is cut up in front of you! You then have to go to San Deigo and by New uniforms! I failed to tell the Mustering out CPO I was going on terminal leave. So, 3 days after I was out. He came down looking for me to conduct my Mustering out inspection. My shipmates told me he was furious I was already gone. He threw such a tantrum our CPO called him into the officer where they screamed at each other. The sad thing was this was that "chiefs" idea, not a command directive. He believed it encouraged people to Re-enlist or have the ability to re-enlist. In my life. Nothing more ever matches the pure JOY to getting my Honorable Discharge! Not getting married. Not getting college degrees. Not high school graduation. There is no downside or fear like getting married. I can't complain. NO COMBAT!
UCMJ 112a. Possession and use of drugs on a military base can result in a court martial, dishonorable discharge and up to fifteen years in a Naval prison. The closest brig to San Diego is at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington where I served my last tour of duty in the Marine Corps. Let me tell you, you don't want to be stuck in a naval prison, those Marine guards will fuk you up from the time you step over that threshold to the time you leave with hard labor in between. Gary probably stretched the story a little.
A'ight... so I'm thinking that this guy is going to be asked to leave for making too much money. After all, he was going to host a national TV show. I figured he would be generously compensated. (I've had it happen to a couple of friends. One owned and sold an olive grove in Greece; another made a very good investment. They both got a letter that more or less asked them to leave.) So when I'm hearing about this board thing, I was surprised. What really got me is what Gary said what he'd do to get out; I laughed so hard that I had to run to the bathroom! 🤣🤣🤣 He who has the gold rules!
I knew I was done with the navy when they kicked me out with an unsuitability discharge. So I switched to the merchant marine where they actually pay you overtime and you can become a licensed officer just by passing a three day exam at the Coast Guard marine inspection station. I got kicked out for devolunteering from submarine duty. They don’t like granting transfers to surface craft unless you get caught with drugs. I also dropped out of officer candidates school after 3 days and got kicked out of alcohol rehab. But under honorable conditions so I got my VA hospitalization card no problem.
Lol, you can’t trust the military. Bc my chief wanted me to extend with a re-enlistment contract for a year and a half so that I could go on deployment to either Qatar or Korea. And I chose to get out on my original agreed upon date. Bc I wasn’t about to get a bait-in-switch since four years was always the time given for every re-enlistment ceremony that I ever saw.
It’s funny cuz when I was in the army I would threaten to do shit like this all the time whenever the army pissed me off. Which by the way was all the time
Come on Gary, y’all navy folks be partying it up, seeing beautiful beaches, hot girls, 3 meals and a cot and don’t know how to spell IBA or wear a helmet. Easy money
