I haven’t smeared anyone. I asked a question that no one here appears to be able to answer. Why is the navy crowd afraid of a single question?
The new Captain is Captain Dee L. Mewbourne is that OK with you?
Have you never seen "Johnny Quest"?
They can't even run a competent cover up any more.
Surely not one that can escape your devastating powers of deduction. </sarcasm>
Druid. That OK with you?
Then the statement was correct, wasn't it?
WTH is a "privateer" in the US Navy? The Privateer was a World War II patrol bomber variant of the B-24.
VFA-132's nickname is "The Privateers".
Considering that Tech lost by 60 points I imagine there were many moments when all screaming and cheering stopped.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’ll assume that you are an honest person of integrity.
Yea you did. You made an assumption based solely on a call name and then you yelled cover up. Hey guess what? When a person dies at a DOD facility for unknown medical reasons it can take a week just for family to get the body and it can take sometimes months to get Cause Of Death. Why? Because they do an extensive autopsy including sending off blood samples etc and that takes a lot of time.

Ever hear of the privacy act? His religion unless he expressed open hostilities toward the United States was his business. IOW the Navy could not release it nor could they when I was in three decades ago without written permission. I served with Muslims in the late 70's. I served with Buddhist as well. The deceased Captain has other carrier Captains and those who served with him throughout his US Navy career who would know his character which are vouching for him. That's good enough for me.

Believe it or not religion generally doesn't get that much discussion on a ship. There is or was evening prayer over the 1MC and on Sunday Divine Services held for the few who went.
When my ship went in drydock me and a buddy split the rent on an apartment for a year. I couldn't tell you if he is Baptist, Catholic, whatever. I still stay in touch with the guy and even after 31 years and I still don't know. The ships chaplain might have known the Captains religion but I can not for the life of me tell you what the three Captains I served under religion was. The only guy I avoided on religious issues on the ship was a satanist who held his rituals at his rack.
Alright, Sir. I checked it out. Tembe is a Hindu surname, from the Maharashtra State/Region of India, which is where the city of Bombay is located. Tushar, which was his first name is a traditional Hindu first name which means “Frost”, or “Snow”.
Not that it should have mattered to you, but Capt. T. Tembe was NOT a Muslim.
Are you satisfied, sir?
Im a Texan, sir. And you better believe that I do not agree with PAR35’s comments out here.
