When someone gets a copy of the new NavOp covering “Hot Bunking”, please post it, as I think it would be highly entertaining...

You Bubbleheads...

Do any of these idiots that think this is such a great idea ever spend time on a sub?

Appearing on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” Mabus signaled...

Reported on Jon Stewart? I just heard disturbing news from my Army daughter, new privates, specialists, entry level recruits assigned to their first Army posts are whining their superiors are ‘too mean and being sweared at’ and have been given ‘stress cards’ or time outs if their sarge is ‘too mean’, present the card, and you get a break. Also, there are trauma areas for new recruits on posts if it gets too stressful. My first thought was, ‘oh terrorist, here’s my card, please wait until I’ve composed myself before you cut my head off’. I’m not sure I’m a fan of women on subs. Then again, if it’s gays, what’s the difference other than pregnancy? Until we have a real government that believes in the constitution, we’re screwed.

Additionally, the sarge’s are really ticked off at the competence level of the latest newbies to say the least.

Ping to the Steely-Eyed Killers of the Deep.

This statement proves that SecNav has no clue about what he's talking about:

“It will take a little while because you’ve got to interview people and you’ve got to be nuclear trained,” he said, referring to prerequisite steps before a sailor is assigned to a submarine.

There are plenty of female nukes. One of my guys was married to an M Div-er on the Theodore Roosevelt. Furthermore, it's not like every member of the crew is a propay getting nuke.

Besides, boomers have always been full of women. :)

Oh yeah. Know long term NCOs that didn’t reup and told the retention NCO what to do with them because of it.
