Un-G*d damn real.
FTN.
The only thing that can cure this country is a meteor, the plague, or something unthinkable.
Our brass are a bunch of scumbag “yes” men. I weep for the future. Seriously.
In 1983 I was in the Navy and was put in a group and asked about this possibility. Two people stood up and said, “what difference do our opinions make?”
They were right. They’re going to do what they’re going to do.
Party time!
this is going to be interesting; espcially on board a fast attack like I was on. You had to go outside to change your mind.
In other news, the Obama administration announced that it was seeking unionized companies to bid on a Navy RFP to install screen doors on the submarine fleet...
Run slilent, run deep.
Yep, they sneaked him in during the middle of the summer recess. Winter stuck around for a while after Bush left, maybe 'till the end of spring.
On a better note, I was surprised to here McCugh (sp?) former NY Congressman and current Secretary of the Army say - on the record, and in an open hearing - that letting gays serve openly in the military was a bad, bad idea. I about fell off my chair.
I was a former navy nuke submariner as well. a long time ago.
Good lord...I just had a conversation today with a newly minted airborne kid from 101st describing to me how High School football Summer practice in pads in Dothan Alabama was far worse than anything ARMY bootcamp threw at them today due to having to accomodate girls.

Up para scope!

I agree
Take her down to periscope depth Ensign Aimee !
Suicidal. Internal enemy wins another battle. Nice.
I’m sure the Russkies and ChiComs are happy.
The feminist fanatics probably think these missions can be cut short or stops at sea can be made to remove the affected person(s).
I feel the MAD doctrine that's kept us safe from other folk's ICBMs crumbling at our feet.
Better up the fire insurance coverage and buy more guns.
Probably less opportunity for hanky panky on a sub than on any other ship in the fleet.
This is why I submitted my request to be added to the retirement list shortly after Obama took office. I knew people were going to lose their minds, but I must say, even this is surprising.
