Hannity needs to get ahold of this fellow and have him on his show!!!!!!!!
He is a real whipper-snapper!
He reminds me of the ol’ military gentleman that used to call Hannity all the time...for the life of me I can’t remember the name!

I did a zaba search on Mr. Estes. He does exist in Hawaii, born 1915. His address and phone number are there as well. Thankyou Master Chief Estes.

Losing the heart and soul of who we are as Americans is our big fight now. And I sure as hell don't want to think my president is the enemy in this final battle. sorry Harold, he is... by deed and by word.
thank you for keeping the torch burning bright

I for one am very disappointed and saddened.
The people gave Obama a chance and now
are seeing him for what he is and what he
is trying to do to America.
This person could have made black people
everywhere very proud. Instead he has disgraced
himself so much I can’t help but think they feel
shortchanged. Not to mention ashamed and embarrassed of him
He blew one of the greatest historic time as America’s first black president by doing the the right thing but he didn’t, so....If only he wasn’t a marxist.

Chiefs always give young Seamen and Young Ensigns an earfull that they best listen too and follow; but, ‘O’ won’t.

Yep, its short for Boatswain ( better known as “Bosun’ mate”). I served with many a crusty SeaDog in the Deck Divisions of my sea commands, and there wasn’t a bad one in the lot. And they ALWAYS let the Junior Officers know what was right and wrong, along with having the CO and XO’s ear as well. If the Officers were worth their salt, they’d listen to what he’d say.

SIDE NOTE:
I'm reminded of the time I saw a wet-behind-the-ears butter bar ensign "remind" a crusty old BMCM (Master Chief Boatswain's Mate) that he was supposed to salute an officer when they pass each other. The BMCM's reply? He reached into his pocket and flipped a quarter to the young ensign and said, "Here boy, call your mommma and tell her you met a REAL sailor today."
Those of us who saw it fell out laughing while the poor young ensign slunk away with a red face.
Mastercard says PRICELESS!!!

I'm glad that as a new 2nd Lieutenant I was privileged to serve with NCOs who respected the customs and traditions of the military. It made me want to earn their salute.

You are correct. In the interest of brevity, I did not cite ALL of the details of the encounter. Namely, the BMCM was in a conversation w/ another chief as he was walking. He was turned towards the other chief and in all likelihood did not even see the O1. The O1 made a big enough scene that it drew attention from everyone within 30 feet, he was truly being an asshat. And most importantly, after the quarter comment, he did salute, then turned on his heels and walked away.
It was still PRICELESS!!!
