a tin can corpsman s thoughts reflections words and more skip to main skip to sidebar a tin can corpsman s thoughts reflections words and more disclaimer the thoughts and views expressed here in no way represent the views of the united states navy the department of defense or any other military or government organization they are the sole property of my own twisted little imagination and out look on life unless otherwise stated of course 02 july 2009 a new outlook okay so i haven t really had the time to post anything here but a great deal has happened since i have been here at surface force idc school this past advancement cycle i managed to somehow pick up hm1 on the test as well as complete the didactic portion of school with a cumulative gpa good enough that had i not advanced i still would have been advanced upon graduation i received orders back to my operational home the fdnf out in yokosuka japan i will be taking over as the senior medical department representative aboard the uss stethem ddg 63 since making e 6 my whole view on the navy as a whole has changed quite a bit i find myself trying to find answers to gripes instead of joining in on the bitch and complain parade instead of controversial i am aiming for mature and responsible solutions to whatever issues may plague me or sailors around me especially since i am headed to a ship again and as smdr aboard a ship i will be in a sense a department head on small ships medical is a department and not a division although still a blue shirt in uniform i need to step up my game and do the job that both of my last idcs have trained me for i am excited i am anxious and i am also terrified but i ve been told that if you don t fear the job that i have been training for you are more likely to kill someone or make a serious mistake so a certain amount of fear is both healthy and necessary graduation can t come soon enough i just can t wait to get back to being a real sailor again it is true when they say that you never really realize what you have until it s gone because this past year on shore has been more tedious and trying than any day out to sea more to come bear with me this blog may end up being active again real soon posted by vince aka the one called doc at 22 24 1 comment labels reflections 07 october 2008 really busy i didn t fall off of the face of the earth i plan on posting soon just give me a little time and bear with me i have a butt ton to get off of my chest posted by vince aka the one called doc at 07 38 1 comment 02 june 2008 my time here is almost through in a mere 47 days i will depart my current command i am at the point now where i am starting to reflect on where i have been and where i am going i have made thousands of decisions while here in the fdnf some good some bad but all have made me into the person i am today one part of me regrets my previous posts while another does not it s good for me to see who i once was and who i am today and while my previous posts may have struck a chord with a few i do regret the way that they appeared and were carried out there were things that should have been brought up before airing out in public and for that i truly apologize to the offended parties while i have tried to keep my posts as generic as possible without direct mention of names it is only common knowledge aboard my ship as to who it is or am referring to those posts were wrong of me and again i apologize however i am currently not retracting them because as i have stated before i like to look back at where i was it really helps me see the greener grass on the other side if you will in all retrospect my command is not bad it was the ridiculous restrictions imposed by the fdnf itself coupled with some of the more stringent rules that my command imposed to cover it s ass from a logistical standpoint it makes sense there is a reason why my command has one of the best reputations for not having anyone truly mess up in the japanese public and the stringent rules of yesterday where probably the sole reason i had a career development board a month or so ago and i was able to take some pretty good advice from it it really didn t revolve around my naval career as most cdbs do it was mentioned that i am on the right track and have my head on relatively straight it was more focused on having a successful family life while continuing my life as a sailor and the knowledge imparted on me was from a sailor whose career is coming to it s twilight but this blog site was brought up in the process and while i was told before just how it affected some people before it didn t really sink in until i had my cdb for one of the people to mention it in a semi public forum only solidified the way that my typed words resonated leaving a great deal of disappointment and confusion again i apologize i apologize for not being mature enough to bring my issues up when i should have vice blurting them out here in cyberspace if i could go back and do it all over i would have done it the right way vice the wrong but every decision made creates the person i have become today and in some aspects i feel myself to be a better person as a result of the roads i have taken trust me when i say that this blog is far from complete it s just late and i am ready for some sleep until next time posted by vince aka the one called doc at 06 13 1 comment 24 january 2008 a sign of good faith it s been awhile but things have developed a bit since my initial hiatus that made a blog entry almost necessary times are finally starting to change a bit my ship is in the midst of a port call and liberty restrictions have finally relaxed a bit the upper chain of command is giving sailors a sign of good faith by allowing looser liberty rules rules that actually make sense and are easy to abide by for instance sailors who are classified as low risk i e those with no prior behavioral issues or incidents who are in possession of a blue card and up e 1 through e 6 currently do not have to file an individual liberty plan or require a liberty buddy if they are not planning on consuming alcohol so if i wanted to go out and go shopping for gifts for my family i don t have to drag a liberty buddy along as long as i don t consume alcohol this will make for a more exciting port call in my opinion i have always had the problem of conflicting desires while out on liberty while i would have one thing planned my liberty buddy or buddies would want to do something completely different or off the reservation these relaxed liberty rules allow for such differences in opinions as long as the sailors are keeping within the set parameters this is a double edged sword however as murphy s law no doubt applies there are always one or two sailors out there who will inevitably end up ruining it for everyone else i am hoping that this new granted freedom empowers my peers to help police our misguided shipmates while out on liberty in order to avoid any such occurrences or potential incidents which would end our new freedoms i know that i personally will be keeping a more vigilant eye out and interceding when necessary to facilitate a liberty free port call i applaud the powers that be for a rational decision made and thank them for the opportunity to act in the capacity of an adult who defends the freedoms of the united states of america i sincerely hope that this is the first of many more positive blogs to come till next time posted by vince aka the one called doc at 14 14 no comments labels positivity 25 november 2007 disenchantment do you remember how it felt when you found out that santa claus didn t exist i do i was four years old and my aunt was tired of hearing me talk about how excited i was for christmas and the question of how santa gets into my house since we didn t have a chimney imagine being four years old innocent and excited about everything only to find that you have been lied to by your parents and elders there s no more motivation to be good year round there s no more mystery just a thanks mom and dad for the red rider bb gun welcome to my world now i came to my command as an innocent and content sailor willing to do whatever it took to earn the trust and respect of those above me in hopes that one day i would climb the cooperate ladder of success and one day be an independent duty corpsman in 7 months when i leave i will be the empty shell of a human being miserable and discontent completely disenchanted with everything i once held dear at least i will be leaving unfortunately i won t be as motivated to press on thank you united states ship never mind when i was a boot camp sailor struggling through hospital corpsman a school i was told by one of my chiefs that i would never amount to anything at my first command my first lpo and chief told me the same thing they also predicted that i would never make it past e 3 i started in the navy as an e 1 four years later i would be an e 5 for a hospital corpsman this is way ahead of the advancement power curve not only did i advance on my own accord but i also achieved my enlisted surface warfare specialist insignia as well as some advanced watch qualifications prior to achieving e 5 oh yeah and i forgot to mention that i was also selected as my command s junior sailor of the year for 2006 and in doing so i beat the person that had beaten me for command advancement so while i wasn t meritoriously advanced to e 5 it turns out that i was a better sailor and role model than the guy who beat me for the rank the above plus a few other factors that i can t get into have led us into the present i am taking a hiatus and will not be blogging much anymore apparently my words have struck a chord with the powers that be and in the best interest of those who around me i will temporarily cease and desist or maybe not i haven t fully decided i think that i will play this one by ear it could have been worse though i could have written the inspector general rather than publish a blog but blogs are more fun and less of a burden on the powers that be so for now so long thanks for reading my blog thus far maybe i will be able to provide you with more cyber entertainment or maybe this is just goodbye posted by vince aka the one called doc at 01 49 no comments labels farewell for now older posts home subscribe to posts atom
