Friends—

This following bit of commentary/reporting is lifted from some earlier chat by various ex-Navy Officers who have an interest in Jimmie Carter’s naval service after his graduation from USNA

Just shows that lies and deceits are all around us!

Cheers!

I did a bit of research and discovered that Carter did not complete the Navy’s nuclear power school. His father died, and he resigned before completing the course. He later called himself a “nuclear engineer”, and that seems like a stretch to say the least.

Charlie:

I did some research of my own about Carter after I saw him on NBC’s “Today” Show a few years back. It was sort of a, “Jimmy Carter, this is your life” deal with the interviewer (whom I believe was Ann Curry) doing most of the talking.

It began with an “Opie” looking Jimmy in Plains, GA. That was followed by “You went to the Naval Academy and then married your sweetheart” accompanied by a wedding picture of Jimmy (in dre ss whites) and Rossalyn.

Then came the BS. “You went on to command a nuclear submarine ... “ which is where I became unglued, because Carter sat there with that goofy grin of his and let this obvious falsehood be told to the show’s audience on his behalf. “Ah will nevahlie-toyou (sic)” but ah’ll let othahs lie about me.”

Carter’s nuclear power training consisted of four months at Union College in Schenectady, NY studying nuclear physics as it was then known. He received NO degree. He was just there. That’s the grand total of his nuclear phyics curriculum vitae. I confirmed that with Union College. He’s no more a nuclear engineer/physicist than Britney Spears is a novitiate nun.

Carter then spent some t ime in DC where he was around Rickover although I seriously doubt Rick had much to do with him. Finally, he was assigned to the pre-construction detail of SEAWOLF. His biography’s claim that he was OinC of the pre-commissioning detail is a world-class exaggeration.

The widespread belief that he was a nuclear submariner is 100% FALSE. Carter’s resignation from the Navy became effective on 8 October 1953. the world’s first nuclear submarine, USS NAUTILUS (SSN-571), still hadn’t gotten her keel wet. That didn’t happen until 21 January 1954. SEAWOLF’s keel wasn’t laid until 15 September 1953, just 3 weeks before Jimmy was gone.

I don’t know when he and Rossalyn actually left New London, but it probably was before 8 October. Once he’d submitted his resignation Rick probably unceremoniously told Carter to shove off. If Rick had needed him&n bsp; he’d have interceded and stopped the resignation. He didn’t.

Finally, I checked with the Carter Center to see if Carter had pursued further studies in nuclear physics and was told that he had not.

I speak only for myself in saying that I’m deeply disturbed that our Alumni Association named Jimmy Carter a Distinguished Alumnus.

Becoming president by falsely duping to a gullible public into believing that you’re a nuclear physicist and a nuclear submariner is hardly the stuff a distinguished alumnus of my Naval Academy does.

Being THE worst president in the history of the Republic is not something I’d honor simply because that president happened to be an alumnus of my alma mater.

Worst of all, becoming a publicly outspoken, self-righteous critic of every one of his successors in office (and winning a Nobel Prize for it) is not what distinguished alumni do.

Jimmy had his turn in the barrel. He failed miserably.
