It's like the US Navy saw what happened to Bud Light and said, "Hold, my beer."
Navy Uses Active Duty Drag Queen For Recruiting (Yes, Very Real)

Thanks for the ping.
Disgusting as it is.
I guess that drag queens, queers, and transfreaks are who the Navy wants to attract these days.
Not sure they really wanted to recruit anyone, more like they wanted to drive them away. Naval Recruitment is down.

On a different note, and in response to an undersea slide between you and OWB:
I got to spend a week on a sub many years ago. One night I was having a dream that I was in a coffin. In that nebulous time between sleeping and waking my left hand touched the side of the bunk and my right hand hit the bottom of the bunk above. It was dark and my gradually awaking self was really thinking that I was in a coffin. Needless to say that was disconcerting. I began thrashing around and finally my right hand hit the rack curtains, tore them open, and I reached out and touched the cool deck. I was in the bottom rack. I looked out saw the green linoleum appearing very dark in the red light of the compartment, and realized I was on a submarine. Relieved, I went right back to a most peaceful sleep.
It was only later after many years, that the bigger picture dawned on me. Perhaps that’s why I so enjoyed looking at the horizon and the the view of the night stars from the bridge wing.
Always enjoy your posts. VR/pat
