HAHAH! You guys are awesome....and funny. But seriously, Im so excited to be part of the Navy family, especially the aviation community. Its still sinking in. I cant stop smiling

For those close to commissioning, BUST YOUR BUTT! Dont EVER give up. If becoming a naval officer is your goal, bust your a$$ ans stay positivo. There were times when i felt like not getting back on the horse. but the motivation i received from my airwarrior brothers and my family and friends helped me stay the course. Good luck and i hope to see u guys out in the fleet

... but the motivation i received from my airwarrior brothers...

And sisters....come on Fezz! haha

Hey congrats on commissioning! Mine was on a cold and wet day - typical Boston "spring". Hope yours was a beautiful day. And it's def great to see how proud our parents get.

IFS is a lot of fun so hopefully you'll get to start it soon. See you in Pensacola!

 

[Fezz CB]

Being an Ensign is cool for about two months, then it's like "Man, I gotta pick up JG already."

In all seriousness though, congrats!

Congratulations!

I walked on air... the feel of a "real" uniform (not that "highly starched tropical khaki long"), returning salutes from Es and AOCs, the fine fall air, the sunshine...no more DI banging my head against the bunk rail and screaming into my ear that I was a "doofus"...ah...!

This feeling lasted exactly four days, until I went into the Pensacola O Club bar for the first time... wearing my cover. DING!DING!DING!DING! I had to buy a round for everyone in the bar (1800 on Friday). Wiped me out financially until the next pay day.

so, does being an ensign require this look?


Congrats man!

 

[TheBubba]

so, does being an ensign require this look?

Yes, it does... it's all part of the "Ensign Salute"... I've had to use it a few times.

It's the natural thing to do when you make an Ensign Mistake... (just don't make too many)

 

[Fezz CB]

"Ensign Salute?" Explain por favore.

 

[TheBubba]

"Ensign Salute?" Explain por favore.

The shoulder shrug followed by "Sir, I didn't realize I was being retarded. Thank you for the new @$$h***."

 

[Fezz CB]

haha. i still havent had the pleasure of the ENS salute, but im sure i will someday.

Is it just me, or do Jr Enlisted folk, both Marine and Sailors at NASP, purposely walk the other direction just to avoid saluting an officer?? Ive seen it ona number of occasions on my way to the NEX. One dude made it super obvious and tripped on his own shoe. haha. I tried so hard not to chuckle

 

[TheBubba]

You're not dreaming... it happens. Mids at USNA do it too...

Also, some senior and master chiefs won't salute ensigns... Dunno why, but it happens.
