This appeared at Phib’s place a week ago. It is so good and so much a commentary on what is wrong with my once beloved Navy, I had to post it here in its entirety. It’s worth a read-especially where it calls out the survivors of the Uncle Vern’s purges during the last

Because I like beating a dead horse.
This will be my second and hopefully, the last post on the abomination that is the Harry Harris sponsored assrape investigation into the Blue Angels “command climate”. Also known as its more common name, assassination by IG. There have been wonderful comments made that, “since the events were substantiated as occurring”, all objections to

Today was a sad day for me. It is probably the first day since I graduated from the Citadel, that I was ashamed to wear my ring. A ring I worked hard to earn-and usually wear with pride. Why? Because it is disgusting to me, to watch legions of my

Nothing will ruin your day like a collision at sea. Or a grounding. This business of firing CO’s at a drop of a hat is getting out of control. Not every mistake needs to be published by public execution. It might be that given the chance he might learn a

This has always been a stupid idea on the part of the US Navy. I experienced it in 1975, when, in order to win a scholarship- I had to Major in Mathematics, a field of study I hated, so as to become a Naval Officer. The only benefit therein to

Well, it’s been two years since I have right royally pissed off the feminist lobby, and it is January and I am cold. So it is probably a good time to jump back into the pool and piss them off again. Navy Times had a recent article up discussing the idea of

This is so funny, I laughed so hard, I cried. If you have ever had to answer a tasker with the word, “cyber” in it, you will realize why:
