May God be with those who are injured.
I am not only an ex-nuke officer but an ex-submariner. And, as unbelievable as it may sound, I live on Guam.
Families have been rushed to Guam in the last 12 hours. My friends in the Navy have told me that this one is BAD. People are rumored to be dead. This one is not your typical scrape-the-coral scratch and go. I know guys on the San Fran.
San Fran, Corpus Christi and Houston.....the 3 LA class boats on Guam.
Heads shall roll, as we will soon find out.
