I joined in 99, before they were really everywhere. I think one guy in my squad had one. In any event, it seems like a MASSIVE hassle having that much contact with the leadership.

Hiding from NCO's and the CQ desk on nights and weekends was a critical and necessary part of the job. So can you get away with simply not having one, or would you be forced to get one for communications sake?

I was looking through some crew rosters for the Navy from the 80s and came across the acronym RASE under division. After a little bit of searching on the internet, I couldn’t find anything Navy related. Anybody know?

I'm graduating from nursing school in about 2 weeks and I really want my dad to wear his Army blues because he looks really nice in it. The pinning ceremony people do dress up nice, however I'm wondering if this is appropriate.
