LilFozzyJ5 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Wow that must have been tough. Did you know you were an abdl at that point? Link to comment
nenog613 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 yeah, i've been into diapers since early puberty. being an abdl wasn't the problem (though it did suck i could rarely wear diapers), it was the constant bullshit and gross incompetence. on the ship i was a supply runner, so i'd have to go from my shop at the very front of the ship all the way to the back of the ship and down to the lowest deck to the storeroom only to find no one there, then race back to my shop and call up the people in charge of it to say there's no one there; they'd repeatedly assure me someone is there, so i'd go back and nope, no one there, so back to my shop. call them up again, and they say "Oh, okay, well we'll send someone down there". back to the storeroom a third time, wait 10 minutes in a large room with no air conditioning (and luckily its only 110 degrees outside and we have to wear turtle necks) until someone shows up, get the part, go all up to the top deck and through a maze to get the squadron who ordered the part, only to have some chief call me lazy because "It shouldn't take this long!" then finally back down to my shop only to be handed a stack of 15 more orders to get. of course, that was just on days with a light work load, not days with resupplies, COD deliveries, etc. then i went to the marine base and had the biggest dipshit in the history of not just the US Navy, not just the US military, but any military in history as my immediate supervisor (in a shop of two people), and for the next two years i was his personal whipping boy. he blamed me for everything, and when i say everything i mean everything. no shit he once forgot something on an order form, forgot to CC me on the email when he sent it out, and didn't find out about the error until the day of, and wrote me up for it because "we're supposed to double check each other's work and i should have spotted the mistake". when i asked the obvious follow up question of how the f*** am i supposed to double check something i didn't know about because it was never sent to me, his response: "I shouldn't have to tell you how to do your job". then there was the usual bullshit of when he had to come in early, i had to come in early, and when he had to stay late, i had to stay late (four hours one time for the all important task of cleaning my desk and re-ordering the filing cabinet because he had duty and couldn't go home), because in case something happened "we need both of us here". but whenever i had to come in early or stay late, surprise surprise, "Well there's no real reason for both of us to be here". it was so bad it got to the point that every Saturday afternoon a wave of depression and anxiety would crash over me because the day was almost over, which means it was almost Sunday, and then back to work. you know your job sucks when you're living less than a quarter mile from the beach in southern California, get not only every weekend off but a 3-day or 4-day weekend once a month, can drive to San Diego, LA or even Las Vegas, and would rather be on a ship working 12+ hours a day, seven days a week for a ten months (with albeit a brief 3-day port call every month and a half), and sharing a room with 100+ guys while sleeping in a slot in the wall so narrow if you want to roll over you actually have to get out of bed to do it. so yeah, not wearing diapers was the least of my problems 1 Link to comment
LilFozzyJ5 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Wow, that truely sucks, especially the shore posting. I had my fair share of dickheads in the RAF, its almost like you only get promoted if your an arsehole. I had a shit posting at first, so to get out of there i volunteered for mountain rescue duties.
