Recently, a sailor on the cruiser Shiloh started to behave erratically. He claimed he had the ability to shoot fireballs from his hands and that he had traveled into outer space. Despite his obvious insanity, no action was taken. The sailor, named Peter Mims, then hid aboard his ship, and no one was able to find him for a week.
Peter Mims was a troubled sailor who wanted out of the Navy.
He had financial problems, his marriage had fallen apart[,] and his chain of command was riding him about qualifications. He'd sought mental health counseling, but was not treated when he needed it most.
Or discharged from the Navy when he needed to be.
Before he disappeared from the cruiser Shiloh on June 8, Mims was known for making crazy[] yet[] sincere claims. Shipmates recalled him saying he had been to space, and that he could shoot fireballs out of his hands.

Left over Obama stank.
The USN is strapped by show-the-flag missions, and with its current PC culture, its ships can’t even stay out of the way of slow-moving tankers.
God help them (and us) if they have to dodge hyper-sonic anti-ship missiles.
In my era, I NEVER saw USN warships deployed looking rusted and nasty. That was the Soviet navy, bleeding rust. Now USN warships look like that. It’s another indicator of serious problems.
The Navy seems to have been particularly hard hit by the degradation in quality of the military under Obama.
Just like the media...one cuckoo and they imply that the whole Navy has something “very wrong” with it.
What? Feces and urine have a rather distinct smell . They don’t smell like fuel or oil.
Feminization destroys military order
Accommodation destroys discipline
True, both of which appear to be continuing undr Mattis, especially feminization. It’s heartbreaking to watch.
It’s not just the Navy. :(
another example of this generations issues. bad education and everyone is a winner and can do as they please.
So, lazy MM’s don’t want to take it to the head? Back in my day, someone had to clean the bilges eventually. And it was never a pretty job.
Exactly. There something very wrong with the entire country. And it could very well be terminal.
“What? Feces and urine have a rather distinct smell . They don’t smell like fuel or oil.”
you might retract that statement if you smelled the monster I just dropped in the office bathroom...lol
Anyone who can mistake the smell of feces and urine for that of fuel oil needs to have his smeller recalibrated.
Look for an article on ‘thousands of physical fitness waivers’
Our enemies have noticed.
Simple solution to this:
Convene a medical board, have him adjucated as mentally ill,
then give hima medical discharge.
Free as a bird,but can’t possess firearms.
“It’s another indicator of serious problems”.....
Trump, should he be so inclined, will/could make some changes, staring with the Chief of Naval Operations. Having served my time about a Heavy Cruiser (Admiral’s Staff, 6th Fleet) such things would NEVER have happened.
Mims OBVIOUSLY had a mental disorder and sounds like there were a few onboard that recognized his problems. I would direct the fault of not doing something to remove him from the ship should (and normally does) fall upon the Ships Captain or Executive Officer, assuming the knew of the problem.
Crazies, gays and transgenders, what the hell could go wrong? Not the Navy I was part of.
