In response to this innocuous and perfectly fine post in the P&E thread about a missing general > [@](#): > > It never ceases to amaze me how far some people can make it in the military (disproportionately, it seems, in the Air Force) without deploying even once in their entire career. Must be nice. everone’s favorite #2 “expert” in all things military threadshitted thus: > [@](#): > > No shit - the 3 years I was in Norfolk VA with my husband [Sub Group 2, USS Spadefish] the CO detested his family and spent as much time deployed as he could [they had to tell him to stop deploying because it was not fair to the families] - back 80s it was typically a 3 or 6 month deployment every year with short 1, 2 r 3 week deployments. I think a couple years he had 2 - 3 or 4 month outs in a year with a bunch of shorties. Shore duty was better, it was like a day job with 1 overnight every third day. Post 95ish the actual deployments shortened - no more fast attack 6 month deployments, but a lot of little ones down to the Caribbean rather than one of the longer North Sea/Med/Southern Caribbean tours. Now that’s patently absurd and 100% false. The military simply doesn’t work that way. But, what the hey, let’s hit it up sentence by sentence. > [@](#): > > No shit Old miltiary axiom: When someone starts out with “no shit” they means what follows is nothing but shit. > [@](#): > > the 3 years I was in Norfolk VA with my husband [Sub Group 2, USS Spadefish] The three years she spent there as a dependent. That’s quite the qualifier for authority for what follows! > [@](#): > > the CO detested his family And this is something she would know…how, exactly? And what difference would that make anyway to a submarine’s schedule of operations given all the other logistics involved, not to mention the expense? > [@](#): > > and spent as much time deployed as he could [they had to tell him to stop deploying because it was not fair to the families] Again, that’s not the way the military works. Nice touch with the ominous and anonymous “they” as the people squashing a Navy officer’s excuse to be out of the house though. > [@](#): > > - back 80s it was typically a 3 or 6 month deployment every year with short 1, 2 r 3 week deployments. I think a couple years he had 2 - 3 or 4 month outs in a year with a bunch of shorties. That depended then just as it depends now on the mission. Deployment dates are not set in stone and never have been. It’s funny that she posted the name of the submarine as though there’s no history online of the vessel’s deployments and a list of its commanding officers during its time in service. I wish each and every CO during the time she stated could sue her for libel. > [@](#): > > Shore duty was better, it was like a day job with 1 overnight every third day. Yeah, right. None of that military crap to interfere with one’s time with the family. > [@](#): > > Post 95ish the actual deployments shortened - no more fast attack 6 month deployments, but a lot of little ones down to the Caribbean rather than one of the longer North Sea/Med/Southern Caribbean tours. Again, all of that depends on the mission. It’s not because the new CO just happened to adore his family more than a previous one. This just occurred to me. Maybe the CO in question felt sorry for her husband and decided that the grueling deployment schedule would get her husband, not the CO, away from the detestable family. Seriously, though. Is it even possible for her to type a single word of truth about the military? Is she vying for the _Doctor D Award for Spewing Bullshit Online_? She posts more shit than the entire New York City sewer system has in it at any given moment. I left out the liar’s name because I think we’re not supposed to mention that here. If I’m mistaken, let me know and I’ll put it in, not that it’s that hard to find. ---

> [@Monty](#): > > everone’s favorite #2 “expert” in all things military threadshitted thus: I don’t understand how that’s a threadshit. Someone posted that it was unusual not to deploy, and she added that she knew someone who was the opposite. I didn’t see her denying the poster, just adding the opposite because some posters just have to jump in if it reminds them of something, no matter how insignificant or off-field. I see it more as a slight hijack. What am I missing? ---

Yes, I know. I read it before and after it was hidden. But I don’t see how it was a threadshit, just that it was a tangent. I didn’t think she was saying that it _wasn’t_ unusual not to deploy, but that she’d also seen the opposite extreme. ---

I dunno. I TL;DR’d pretty hard out of that. Not because I thought it was active trolling. Just because it looked like way more than I needed to hear, and only faintly topical. ---

@Monty. IMO your complaint is sorta well-founded.
