Should have been eligible for the draft.

Any skeletons there?

I'm wondering the same thing. Previous military service is always a big plus for me as long as the politics are acceptable.

WHAT there is USS Enterprise Wait a minute only enterprise I know of was Starfleet most famous one?

The Enterprise was our first nuclear powered aircraft carrier (CVN-65). Her keel was laid in 1958 and she was launched in November of 1961.

She can turn out 30 knots with roughly 280,00 horsepower.

There are probably FReepers who have served aboard the "Big e".

* (I don't really know why the "e" is always in lower case, but that's the way it is).

On July 31, 1964, USS Enterprise (CVN 65), USS Long Beach (CGN 9) and USS Bainbridge (CGN 25) departed the Mediterranean Sea for a 65-day, 30,000-mile around-the-globe cruise to be carried out completely free from refueling or logistic support while operating at a normal tempo. The three ships, traveling under all kinds of weather conditions, made the 5115-mile transit from Australia to Cape Horn, South Africa at an average speed of better than 25 knots--demonstrating the capability of nuclear-powered surface ships to reinforce quickly U.S. interests in remote areas and operate over great distance at high speeds without logistic support.

So far nothing. But, I would not discount that. the big thing was getting out of the draft, ala Clinton and Guiliani.

Anyway another article I found.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,161699,00.html




GLENEAGLES, Scotland — President Bush has named former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson (search) to help shepherd his yet-to-be named Supreme Court nominee through the Senate, White House spokesman Scott McClellan (search) said Wednesday.

Thompson, a Republican and actor on the NBC television series "Law & Order," agreed to accept the post in a telephone conversation with the president on Monday, McClellan said.

"Senator Thompson will guide the nominee through the confirmation process," McClellan said.

Justice Sandra Day O'Connor (search) surprised Washington last Friday by announcing her retirement from the high court after 24 years, giving Bush his first opportunity to name a new justice. Court watchers were expecting such an announcement from Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist (search), who is 80 and afflicted with thyroid cancer.

Thompson, 62, retired from the Senate in 2002 to pursue an acting career. He has appeared in the movies "The Hunt for Red October," "Cape Fear" and "In the Line of Fire."

He was elected to the Senate in 1994 to serve out the term of Democrat Al Gore, and was easily re-elected in 1996. He retired in 2002. Thompson was a member of the Judiciary Committee, which will hold confirmation hearings on the eventual nominee.




Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., said his former colleague has a "profound understanding" of judiciary matters and is known for a "no-nonsense style."

"Fred is a well-respected leader admired on both sides of the political aisle as someone who is fair-minded and straightforward," Frist said in a statement. "He is experienced in the ways of Washington and will undoubtedly provide valuable insight and counsel throughout the confirmation process."

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and a current member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, also praised Thompson as the "kind of person who can bring people together and can avoid something no one wants: a confrontation."

Ed Gillespie, former Republican National Committee chairman, also will help the administration push Bush's nominee. He is expected to help with strategy, lobbying and news media relations.

Fred Thompson is extremely appealing. He's good on the issues and can communicate. It will hard for the Libbies to paint him with the "Conservatives are Stupid" brush, since he comes across as very, very smart.

WOW... I think I could vote for and support Fred Dalton Thompson to be President of the United States! He's right on the issues, he's a great leader, and he has a cool name.

If he doesn't get elected President, he can always play on on TV.
