They seem to be going after every one. Officers, civilians, CPO’s and now Petty Officers: SAN DIEGO — A fourth member of the Navy has been charged with conspiracy to commit bribery in a multimillion-dollar scheme involving a Singapore-based defense contractor accused of providing cash, vacations, electronics, and prostitutes in exchange for classified information. “The camera is awesome… Continue reading Another domino falls.

The other shoe drops.
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 good deal and be a… Continue reading The other shoe drops.
Why the Navy is horribly wrong.
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 doing so was that it… Continue reading Why the Navy is horribly wrong.
Who needs a sabbatical?
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 sabbaticals, and how they could… Continue reading Who needs a sabbatical?
10th Fleet Theme Song
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:
Time to burn the tapes?
Every time you turn around-the rather rotund Malaysian claims another victim: The alleged Pacific fleet swindler known as "Fat Leonard" made his first court appearance in San Diego on Thursday to hear formal charges against him that include conspiring with Navy officers on port contracts worth more than $200 million and bribing them with cash,… Continue reading Time to burn the tapes?

Guy worked from his cell phone, was a retired Marine, who made sure aircrews got the things they needed like food,… Continue reading Upping the ante…..
Another good deal gone fleeting……
For those that do not know, Singapore-based Glenn Defense Marine Asia Ltd., has long had a "lock" on the business of providing husbanding services to Navy ships in Asia. It's quite a lucrative business and is also known as a good deal for retiring supply officers who might want to stay in Asia. Or at least it… Continue reading Another good deal gone fleeting……
Oh Happy Day!
It seems the Navy is on a roll correcting Uncle Vern's mistakes. This really pleases me. In 2003, The f*cking P-3 mafia-after 4 long years of lies and deception, took over not just their own staff-but that of our own hardworking wing staff of aviators and logisticians. I'll spare you the details, but in the run… Continue reading Oh Happy Day!
Finally correcting a big mistake
The Navy appears to finally have come to its senses and dropped the flying warrant officer program. Couldn't come a day too soon. The idea was a mistake from the start. The Navy has permanently grounded its 6-year-old Flying Warrant Officer Program, saying that though successful at turning enlisted sailors into aviators, the needs of… Continue reading Finally correcting a big mistake
