[QUOTE=catherder;141466][B]I wish I knew the answer to that. The problem with this organization seems to be that non-mariners are in charge and pay all the damned bills so they cut costs on the backs of the low level workers and on the equipment they procure. There’s also no real mechanism for correcting mistakes or punishing people who spend recklessly.[/B]
By the way, just so ya know, they painted over the logo, numbers and the stack stripes on the McArthur II and Ka’imimoana last week and it won’t be all that long before you’ll see them on the GSA website. Hint: M2 is in much better shape, if you are interested.[/QUOTE]
You’re right, and not the only one who views it that way. I felt like I was working for desperate bean counters. I gave them a little over two years as a J/E to get their act together as I do enjoy the people I worked with,it only got worse.
Great job if you love stress, working under a union contract and making a huge financial sacrifice in the name of “science”.
