I work with two other retired Navy guys. Because of where we work we have insight into a lot of current Navy news and events. Plus-all of us travel to Navy facilities. We have a saying when we read something particularly atrocious -and for some reason we are reading a lot of atrocious things these days.
We suck.
Here are two examples of how the US Navy is just not getting it:
A greaseless Herndon monument climb-why bother?
When I was in Naples as I walked around the base there-I counted no less than six different Naval Uniforms being worn for daily work. Phib’s right-TFU is only just FU.
We suck.
Dude, come on, I love wearing my Aquaflage to drill…
Well you know who started the whole complete uniform smorgasbord. Aviators just had to have their own uniforms to like set them apart from their fellows of the naval service and then they somehow started to get away with just wearing their flying rompers to the office.
The insane aquaflage is being totally blown off by those in the ground arena that don’t work for CNIC but need/want/like to blend and not stand out. When I see a Construction Regiment or EODMU or SEAL Team in that putrid uniform I’ll start to vote the straight democrat ticket.
I like your day in history today. When one can actually post a bio on Dred Scott and his treatment at the hands of the supreme court….priceless. It’s a liberal’s wet dream. Why the man had no rights at all said the SCOTUS just because he lived in states where slavery was against state law. He must remain a slave. Seriously, priceless.
