>>> I’ll take bull-dyke for $100 Alex

Several years ago I attended a funeral at Arlington. One of the other mourners was a rough looking longshoreman type, almost scarey looking. Had I passed him on the street I’d have given him room. But at the funeral seeing him in his Navy whites with the rows of ribbons and the four stars he wore, I knew I was in the company of an impressive gentleman. It was a good reminder on not judging by appearances.

>>> Is it me or has there been a positive epidemic of skippers getting beached for cause in the past 3 years?

Were we to read such a list of cashiered officers in the Russian Navy we’d be calling it a slow-motion purge. By now the numbers of relieved ships captains, squadron leaders, and base commanders is approaching a hundred.

Actually, he was a warrior and exactly what a warrior would and should be like.

That abusive captain, she looks exactly like what she truly is.

Appearances are revealing.
