Some Gunner's Mate Chief is falling down on his job. I never saw any weapon in that condition in the whole time I was in the Navy.

I'm flabbergasted that the weapon could be in such condition. Where are the officers?

The rust is on the mount. The heat shroud for the barrel looks ok.

I looked at the hi-res and the M2 actually looks okay. I was always pretty anal about keeping the M2's on my Abrams tanks clean. This one is allright. Probably never even been shot.

Dunno... but I am willing to bet dollars to donuts right now that that weapon is no-longer in that condition.

Someone up the chain of command has seen that pic by now and started the s**t rolling downhill.

That squidly on the gun is not going to be smiling for a few days to come.

Bank on that.

Where are the officers?

To heck with the officers, that ain't the Soviet Navy. Where are the Chiefs?

Of course every land based Navy flight line I was ever on, or saw photos of, was a mess compared to Air Force ones. Most especially Air National Guard facilities. You can usually eat off the hanger floor there.
