Admin and Support Divisions S^%cks. I’m tired of the pat answer of “it’s the members responsibility” when you ask a Yn1 or a Sk1 for help.
I have to complete all my scheduled travel, TDY orders, travel claims, DLA, proceed, BAH, COLA, part tracking, document # .GBL , brown sheet, …and if I have a question they look at me like a dog that farted and say “I don’t know , it’s your responsibility”
I’m tired of waiting 45 days to get a part that is in our storeroom and getting charged twice because the SK1 has no clue how to do a turn in and then insist that I have to spend $$ before the EOFY just because they never managed the CMplus till the end of the FY.
How come I can order, ship and track my parts as an FT better than the SK’s??... Maybe because I show up for work at least once a week.
How come I have to tell a YN1 with 16 yrs in how to do a retirement package and inform them on a 4700 “what’s that I’ve never heard of that”

Members responsibility….load your own F#$ng rounds and shut the hell up.

Chief since you are in a 378, why can you talk to your fellow SKC & YNC to help you out? If you want to change those programs, I recommend to send them to HQ for action (good luck). Also, this is not the correct place to vent!

MAD E7 45 (I say E-7 becuase that was not the post of a Chief)

What the hell is an FT? If you don't even know you changed rating 5 years ago, you got more problems than what you posted.

I see he got a chance to make his point on both the SK and YN forum. Aaahh! The art of copy/paste. Still waiting for a response, though.

OK, I can understand being mad at a support rate, in reality other people have no clue what it is that we do during the day, I can understand. If there is a problem what should happen is sitting down with the SK's and state the problem and look for a way together to make it work better. Get a routine instead of getting mad and *****ing, if you try to work together then something can be done. Pay grade makes no difference, if something don;t work it don;t work and the weight of a coller won;t change that, the only thing that can is sitting down and coming up with a plan on how to have a better understand of the system and how it can be made to work for you.
Sit, have talk with the SK's and see what can be done to make the system better for everybody.
As for the YN's, hell I don't know.

That's because it's your job. Or do you think the SK's job is to write your PR for you and the YN's job to write your travel claim for you? If you would quit your alternating whining/demanding and ask for help you might find your job a little easier.

Again, because they are your parts and your job.

But then, how can you be expected to know what your job is when you don't even know what your rating is?

Sounds like from your post in "What does a SK really do?" you have a problem with an individual more than a problem with a whole rating (or two).

Now I've been to some units where the SK's went above and beyond, i.e. you'd give them the part number you want and a week or so later you had the part. Same goes for YN's, i.e. they would all but sign the signature block on whatever form you were turning in. But, you can't expect that at every unit. I mean some units are busier than others. There is however, that standard of support you should be receiving by everyone in a blue uniform, and if your not getting that from "an individual or division" you should be vocal about this in the Mess, and not this board. We've all been frustrated.

Maybe a little Tai Chi or a stronger cup of coffee next time brother.

I tell you what, after spending a year TDY (and out of rate)in a supply office working with the Storekeepers and learning their job.... I've got a new appreciation for what they do. I sure won't give them a hard time again.

Regardless, we're all a team trying to accomplish the same mission. I carried a large chip on my shoulder for quite a while, lately my tune has been changing as I realized the bigger picture and recognized that I was part of "TEAM" Coast Guard.

Props to all the support rates, nothing would get done without them. Applause

I completely agree. Your venting is completely misguided. Unfortunately, you're not the first I've seen. Grow up. You got bigger problems than SK's and YN's

I am an SK2 and I just want to say that not all sk's are bad with customer service. It's like with anything...if you experience something unpleasant with one rate or another that rate will constantly be getting under your skin. I feel bad that you are not getting the help that you deserve. At my unit our supply department is constantly being recognize for our outstanding customer service and we always take any complaints to heart for improvement.

Two wrongs don't make a right. It just brings your performance down and will eventually bite you in the rear.

No,but three lefts make a right and he should have left his attitude at the door, left his prejudices on the pier, and left his complaints in the Chief's Mess, then he'd be right.
