No. The common denominator is gun free zones.

o common denominator is Islam, the guy was a Saudi.

Took command at change of command ceremony at Pearl last year August 8th. Former commander moved to Squadron Command at Yokosuka Base, Japan.

Commander Tyler Forrest, USNA Class of 2002. Fast attack commander is not easily achieved even in “peacetime” whatever that means (which is nothing in our hot “cold” war)

Please reread my post. I concur with your statement. But it only applies to security personnel. The average soldier, sailor, airman, marine are prevented from carrying personal weapons.

I am going to backtrack and admit I was WRONG in assuming it might have been U.S. personnel. But I am not going to rule out meds as a possible influence quite yet.

They are permitted carrying of armourer issued weapons per command chain, not personal weapons of course. Nidal Hasan was stopped by mil police- not rentacops.

Navy regs in re: guarding the entrance gangway/exterior hatches access to our warships is clear, they are assigned duties of certain ship’s company of each vessel regardless of what port they are in. What happened to the Cole— was failure on many levels. The rubber boat with a bomb should have been shot out of the water at 1K yards. But not under billy boy clinton’s helping out his buds in Qatar.

In re: Pearl. The submarine in drydock is nuclear powered, and likely so armed. Worth billions. The Navy regs post a guard at any access point (typically at both ends of a gangway, and any hatches on board that are opened. Deadly force authorized. NIS will determine if the UNIONIZED contractors were a threat, perceived either rightly or wrongly. The suicide of the petty officer does not contradict the potential they were (many possibilities for that, such as if he had been compromised in some way- with them. Never can know, nor may we ever know. This is like a shooting in a nuclear missile silo- we’ll never know). NIS will figure this out.

Our family recalls... always, that it was faulty welding by UNION striking shipyard workers in Groton—shoddy workmanship- that caused the USS Thresher to flood and exceed crush depth killing a friend/classmate Commander, many technical expert contractors (not Union), and the ships compliment. Horrible.

Should also note that there are many many screens placed on these contractor workers for reasons of sabotage, and espionage. See: the little a@@clown who wanted a day off at Norfolk, and started a fire in the ship in drydock costing millions. The screening system may be why some workers “show their a@@ to Naval Personnel, though usu. not officers. This crap has to stop, the Ray Mabus culture of civilian social experiment forced on the Navy. No more. Including mixed sex crews on subs- no way.
