Army here, but I had a coworker who was so short in height that he said they made him permanent “s***house mouse” on a submarine. Ring a bell?

Anyway, if she can dish up good chow, then more power. I know the difference between a motivated cook & a bad one.

You are correct. Right now the US Military is basically a tool to protect and further the interests of the Globalists and she would continue to use it that way. To the highest bidder, of course.

Hitlery would have a special, secret office to coordinate her traiterous deeds.

I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth.

The word for that is 'waterbrash'. Ain't FreeRepublic a great place?

Or, thinking of The Hunt for Red October:

“A g-damn cook!”

She’s a chief so I doubt she’ll be cooking very often, there’s a lot of administrative work that needs to get done too.

The RIB to the Azores was probably the worst part of the whole ride. And probably did more damage.

>>I could see getting a few signatures but “qualified” no eFen way.

The new Navy has probably turned submarine qualification into just another pencil-whipping exercise like SW or AW or any of those other new badges they hand out. Sad.

What happens if she gets pregnant?

Can’t just surface a boomer and sail to the nearest port. an abortionist on every vessel, this is the obama/clinton Navy.

May God do to the abortionist and the mother, what the abortionist does to the little trapped baby in the womb.

Hitlery clinton, the Benghazi murderess, would promote a lesbian Captain to Chief of Naval Operations and she would make sure every submarine had women aboard.

Only if she gets her ten percent.

Her brothers are NOT going to allow that to happen. The Chief’s Mess is tight. Thank God most of those on this thread are clueless.

____________________________________________________________

How are her brothers not going to allow that to happen? It happens to almost everybody at least once. I lived on the Patrick Henry from 68 to 73 and one of the most fun things to do was watch for the new guy to flush while blowing tanks. You have to bend over the bowl to reach the handle, whoosh! I know it shouldn’t be so comical but it really was.

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, when you are underwater you have to save everything that goes down the drain in a tank. On occasion the boat comes up to a shallow depth, usually to get a satellite fix, when that happens the external pressure is greatly reduced so it doesn’t take as much air to blow the tanks to sea. When the tanks are blown to sea it takes time, more than a few minutes. The person who is doing that job hangs signs in the head saying that the shitters are being blown but there is always someone who gets out of bed to take a leak or a dump and ignores the sign. It is ok to do this as long as you don’t flush while the tank is pressurized. It doesn’t take much pressure to spray a lot of crap in your face. After you clean yourself then you get to clean up the area you just sprayed with $#It, you wake up and learn not to do it again.

Hopefully, she at least knows how to make a decent sandwich and a big pot of coffee.

Pisser of all this is that whether she is qualified or not, it is assumed by most that she isn’t and this is just another affirmative action promotion.

And what other navy is doing this?
China?
Russia?
Belize?
