Whenever someone asks me to explain what I do for a living, I'm just going to reply with this photo

@naval_gazing But we all know the logistical lunchbox is the one that really matters

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

Searching for a new lunchbox, but I'm a woman so I guess I need a dainty little one? Also, you can't call it tactical unless it launches missiles.

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

@OPTester_Chris How big is it? I need one that can hold two lunches and a dinner for duty days.

Does the Navy think the foc'sle has an image problem that needs to be rehabilitated?

When you run out of bad news steak and lobster and have to shift to deployment extension Mongolian barbeque #iwannagohome

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

Pulling into port like

"Mama, I want you to come back"
This deployment extension is rough ...

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

Lol they said "buoy"

[Navy Times @NavyTimes]

The goal is to buoy readiness and improve flexibility of forces worldwide, while allowing aircraft carriers to remain deployed for longer periods of time. https://t.co/yDRTFXxJwS

@2Cheeseman Fun stuff! Our NAV charged me at last dining out for wearing it so I'm plotting my revenge.

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

Coming out of no internet for 2 weeks to finding out about the new navadmin has been ... intense. My notifications are exploding.

@mhbach97 I dontn need to buy anything, but my bucket has been in my daughter's dress-up box for years ... also thinking i could sell it for a lot lol

@Jayleo110 @lillyemyers @Lil_Weinstein @BoatsAndSWOs Feel free to reach out!

@mike__stumpf Bright colored and glittery leave nails!

@JimLaPorta @USNavy I mean the real answer is that we wear FRVs (blue coveralls) but you can't wear FRVs offship so sailors wear NWUs inport so they can sprint off the brow the second they are allowed / a CPO is not looking at them.

@Hertz It's not a staffing issue, I'm not waiting in line. They said they don't have cars for any of us (15 people) even though we all have reservations and were on time. 3.5 hrs now. They told us a 30 min delay.

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

@jordanpbradford Wait, do they actually sound the GQ alarm at FOOTBALL games?? JFC, my heart would stop every time.

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

@nimitz_s *eyeroll* Our SWO flag officers are aware of our retention issues and have taken some measures that will take years to pan out. Also, maybe just try talking to a female SWO instead of an admiral.

I respect what you guys write and love the discourse on seapower, but I'm the one doing the stuff you write about and it would be nice to not be continuously insulted for existing.

[L. Muffin @McmuffinLady]

I got hit in the face by a broken bathroom door right before boarding and the flight attendant immediately went to go get ice when I walked on the plane without me asking ... I'm afraid to look in the mirror.

@ndkirschmann That's great! Some Place Under Neith (podcast) did a really good series on this called "parasocial exploitation" @thenattiejean
