Can we finally do away with DACOWITS now? Since everyone can do everything-why are they needed? Except of course, its not about equality at all. Its about reshaping the service into an image it never should have. But such is the way society is changing. I consider myself pretty open

Misleading Conclusions
I normally do not post about contentious issues during the holiday break, preferring instead to have innocuous fun with Beer and Babes, or comics, or life in the promised land of Japan. However I came across and article that is simply so egregiously wrong-that fisking it just cannot wait until

I have been keeping in touch with friends in Japan, listening to them tell all about the complete stupidity of VADM Swift: While the specific recommendations that were developed as part of the summit are reviewed, additional, temporary measures will remain in place in addition to the U.S. Forces

The word for the day is: "pussification". It would seem Navy Times enjoys it. Other, more rational members among us-not so much. When I saw this cover, I wanted to just reach through the screen and strangle somebody. Of course, as it turned out-the cover picture was nothing. What really

Only one day left in the month to get in a post on March Madness. Not basketball, but the Madness known as Women's History month. Yes, Yes, that oh so special time of the year when we get to celebrate the history that women want us to know about, while white

I came across this article on the USNI website today. It was so good I had to re-post it here for you folks to read. As you do-ask yourself two questions: 1) Is he wrong? and 2) Will a USNI with a new mission statement allow such an article to

This post is not so lovingly dedicated to Phib’s commenter Anathema, who was the central figure in the comment fest over at his place. The veracity with which he defends the flawed decision making of our gutless Naval Leadership-compels me to write this post. Please forward to him if you

Hey! It’s March….and we all know what that means……. Yes, its that oh so special time of the year when we get to celebrate the history that women want us to know about while whitewashing the details they would rather just not see printed in the paper. So, as is
