I was stationed on Guam in the mid-1980s. My squadron flew search and rescue while on the island and made regular deployments to sea. Aside from my duties as a naval aviator, I was also a division officer and had enlisted men and women reporting to me. Guam is only 13 degrees north of the equatorbeach weather every day. Most military people used the military beaches; I was one of the folks who liked to travel around the island.
Thats how I discovered one of my men was gay. He was on the beach with his boyfriend, and although there was nothing going on that couldnt be in a G-rated movie, there was no doubt that they meant more to each other than two buddies enjoying a day in the sun. When he looked my way, he froze, and I saw a flicker of fear on his face. These were the days before dont ask, dont tell (DADT), so his legal problems would have been criminal, not administrative.
I did what needed to be done: I walked over, said hello to my sailor and introduced myself to his boyfriend. We chatted about the nice weather and I bid them a good day and left the beach so they could relax. We never discussed it again.
Fast forward to 2008. I was driving home on a Friday afternoon, looking forward to a summer weekend, when my cell phone rang. It was a 202 area-code number (Washington, D.C.) and since Im a member of the Chief of Naval Operations Executive Panel (CEP), I thought it might be important, so I answered it. It turned out to be an acquaintance, retired Rear Admiral Jamie Barnett. He asked me, When are you going to talk to Admiral [Mike] Mullen about ending dont ask, dont tell?
I responded, Great idea. How am I going to get an appointment with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs? and he gave me an insight: Admiral Mullen had appointed me to be on the CEPhed take my call.

Absolutely. The Boss had given that poster warnings and the benefit of the doubt. They pushed it once too often.

The fool accused me a “stalking” up the thread. I tried never to see his name!
I hit abuse on 31 and reminded the mod that fp had already gotten a warning from JR about pushing the homo agenda.
The repeal of DADT has made me extremely sick with anger and disgust.

That poster was also an egregious PDSer. I have never seen them post anything truly conservative.

I know. I saw him say that, and it left me scratching my head. He has delusions of grandeur if he thinks people are stalking a jerk such as himself.
The repeal of DADT has me in a dither as well. They have successfully destroyed our military. All of this nonsense has to be wiped out of our culture.
We have a long, serious fight ahead of us.

I never saw a conservative statement either; didn't know he was a PDSer but it comes with the territory. There's a poster named something like margritte (sp?) who is a vile PDSer and I checked its posting history and there is no doubt it is a paid political operative, which party is the only question. It thought I was a barbarian for not wanting mentally ill sex perverts in the military. I tried to goad it further but it shrank back in its hole.

The mentioned poster is also nasty. I didn’t know they were also into perversion.

A reading from the Book of ZOT! What is this? Faggotry most foul amongst the faithful? Brethren, it should go without saying that the people of the Book of Zot! fly their freak flag in defense of conservative values, not in service of sodomy. And so it was that the greatest of the Viking Kitties did stir from his thoughts profound and descend from Valhalla. With great stealth and sense of divine purpose did he smackith the poopith out of yet another of the Old Ones whose great age blinded him to which doors which men may enter freely and faithfully. As the legendary snake long before him, the Old One tempted the faithful with the poisoned fruit, the tolerance of the intollerable. Yet the greatest of the Kittith was not amuseth, nor blinded by tales of joy in the tails of others and so did the Sword of Hetrosexuality cleft softened helm and brain of mush. His work finished, The Great Cat then called out to his fuzzy little funeral directors, who, wearing the Sacred Suit of "Hazmat the Inviolate", did bear off the bits and bytes of another bisected brother to the fell depths of Trollhenge, where Scientists of the cult work feverishly on a vaccine to protect the faithful from the disease of liberalism that has infected far too many in recent days. But there is hope brothers and sisters, for in absence of such a cure, there will always be the cleansing fires and high Holy Amperage to protect the flock...fabulously and with great mercy! Book of Zot! Chapter 9: Verses 1-6; "The Fall of Cornholio" Normie, Chief Druid of Trollhenge Cult of Palin

A most divine reading from The Book of Zot!, my brother. I’ll ‘honor’ the dear departed Flowerplough at the porcelain alter shortly.

The Zottings of the Great Cat bring me faith and hope brother. May tales of his his violence and great mercy serve to unfuddle the befuddled among us...for they are flocked. ;)
