Samia asked:


The DORS program used to have a database for retiring or exiting military personnel to post their resumes and then employers could search for people with specific skills within the database.

Does anyone know if this kind of searchable database still exists? I need to find a US Navy nuclear trained mechanic for a job opening in California.

thanks in advance!

Michael S asked:


A relative of mine is a chef and called me today wondering out loud about what it would take to sign on as a chef for U.S. troops in Iraq. He’s got top-notch training but is between jobs at the moment and thought that this might be an opportunity for a change of scenery while putting his skills to use. Any ideas on how he could get started with something like this?

No political commentary, please. Just answer the question.

hello asked:


I recently joined the navy. My current job is EM(electrician’s mate). I will be 2 classes short from having my BBA in accounting and Financing before I go to basic training, since the school is online, I plan to complete the Bachelor’s degree after “A” school.

My questions are, because I wil be really close to having my bachelor’s should I change my rating to PS, since it is more related to the degree I will have?

What is the contingent in the rank PS? Are there a lot of people doing these jobs?Would this make me getting rank or OCS harder. If not, would the fact that I have a degree related to the rank stand me out compared to every one else?

If I do not change to PS and maintain EM, will my education officer, when I am assigned a base allow me to finish my degree even though there is nothing to do with electricity?

In case I decide not to follow carreer in the NAVY(I doubt it), would the PS job help me with my BBA in Accouting and Finan

Do aircraft carriers normally have SEALs on board, plus why do deck personnel wear camouflage pants?

pschroeter asked:


I’m watching Carrier on PBS and wonder why some personnel wear camouflage pants, I thought Navy wore blue, wearing camo at sea doesn’t make sense to me.
I’ve always wonder if carriers routinely had SEALs on board, but now that I think about it it would limit their training opportunities.

Enlisted personnel goto school for training after boot depending on whatever they chose to pursue whether (i.e. aviation ordinance, aviation mechanic, matc, etc.) Do officers from OCS get placed wherever as instructors? I’m confused…

Do all military personnel have courtesy classes in their daily training?

JT asked:


Because all the military personnel I’ve talked to are very polite and have the same kind of courtesies with everyone. It’s like if those qualities are part of their day-by-day training.

Do they receive courtesy classes on how to address to people in general. They all answer the same way when they’re asked something, they treat ladies the same way, they greet the same way, well at least the ones I’ve work with are the same and I work with a military Joint task.

US Navy Administrative Discharge?

Monday, April 14th, 2008

rollydonn asked:


I am an enlisted navy personnel, an E-3, AD for 1.5 yr now. I was on LIMDU and medical board for 4 months before I was returned to duty by my military psychiatrist. After RTD, I undergone a sea duty screening and was found to be “assignment limited.” In addition to that, my psychiatrist also recommended an administrative discharge. I was diagnosed to have been suffering from Depression, Anxiety, Psyhcoses and Somatization disorder. Right now, my command admin is waiting to receive the PERS 40BB direction about my separation for them to start the discharge process. Before my military psychiatrist made the recommendation, he referred me to a Sleep Study Doctor for my insomnia, and the result came out lately; I have an obstructive sleep apnea. With this result, I don’t know how will my treatment program with the sleep medicine will continue. I still have 3 more sessions with my sleep medicine doctor to complete, but it might not happen anymore as the discharge order may come out anytime in the next few days. Right now I am using a CPAP machine as part of the treatment. Also my military neurologist referred me to a civilian clinic to undergo physical therapy and rehab for my chronic dizziness and unresolve vertigo. I also have on going consults with hearing loss and tinitus with a civilian doctor as per referral by my neurologust. I know all of this will be stopped once the admin discharge comes to the fore. I am thinking of consulting my military PCM about the latest findings and my current treatment programs. I don’t know if he could make it to put me in LIMDU or Medboard due to the new medical findings. And if he would do so, would it prevent the decision of the PERS 40BB to administratively discharged me? Are there other ways to have my treatment and consult completed using tricare insurance after the discharge? I shall greatly appreciate any information you will share. Thank you!
