Jim, That was about the case when I joined the USN many years ago. Now I just hope that I am in the ground before the USSA DDG(G) 69 GaLeTr gets commissioned. Seems to me that the country I spent a large portion of my life defending is going down the tubes due to gutless self serving politician’s, and hordes of slimy lawyers and lobbyists.
Don’t lose hope. Rebellion is brewing!* We are going to turn this country around.
*And trolls are being zotted.
I hear they’re going to allow women AND homos on submarines. Man, oh, man. What a mess that’s going to be. His, hers, maybes, both, either and or ways.
