YAY!!! I LOVE FLEET WEEK!

[frogjerk]

I saw the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) and USS Klakring (FFG 42) from Nelson Rockefeller Park (Close to Battery park in the WFC) and they were impressive to say the least.

I also saw many aircraft. 4 F-16s, 2 F-4 Phantoms, 3 F-14 Tomcats, 1 A-6e, 1 Osprey and a couple of Chinnooks.

Couldn't ask for a more beautiful day...

I work in midtown. Two years ago I was giving a training class on the 32nd floor of my building. Our room had a clear view of the river. When the ships were coming up the river I had to stop class so we could all gawk at them. It was one of the most impressive sites I have ever seen.

Ya gotta love Fleet Week. Of course ever the ugly animals, lefties have a flag draped casket procession to the intrepid scheduled May 27th. Code Pink and the War Resisters stink.

We asked the captain what course of action he proposed to take toward a beast so large, terrifying, and unpredictable. He hesitated to answer, and then said judiciously: "I think I shall praise it."

Yes, they're here! Just came back from having lunch in DUMBO (Brooklyn side of the East River) and could see them coming up through the harbor.

Welcome to all sailors. Hope you enjoy your visit.

Reminds me of my time in BCT at Ft Knox when I saw my first column of tanks back in '69.

Very impressive.

Loud,too!

Ahh, the inspiration for the quote in my comment #8.

"Stand and Fight"

[wideminded]

About 4 years ago I was in New York during Fleet Week and was staying in a hotel near Times Square. Crossing the street one day I could see coming toward me a guy dressed in white who was clearly a naval officer, accompanied by woman who appeared to be a fairly rough looking prostitute. I had time to observe this situation and think about whether there could be any other interpretation of what I was seeing and I decided there wasn't.

I realize those serving in the Navy must be hard up after months at sea, but I think that officers at least should be a little more discriminating and concerned with the impression they leave on the public.

[GATOR NAVY]

Hahahaha. Don't know a lot of officers, do you?

Anyhoo, patronizing a whore is now a UCMJ offense. Human trafficking and all that.

These guys just want massage with happy ending.
