#2 At the end of Obama's one term in office (I hope) will the military be in better or worse shape than it was after Carter?

#3 LMAO I wonder what would be said if they got a video of one of the many shipboard ceremonies? How about the gauntlet that ALL Chiefs must undergo to achieve that title? McCain (yes the Senator) needs to come out and say "Phooey" to all this publicity.

#4 God help them if they get wind of the wilder old Shellback stuff done to the pollywogs.

This was someone with an axe to grind to hold this then pop it years later.

#5 His mistake was not delegating this stuff to the video staff, telling them what he wanted, but with no officers on the movie. Then, like any good bomber, "to be nowhere around when the bomb goes off."

Then, he could personally disavow the movie, claiming it was not what was intended, which is cool, as long as he insures that not only does nobody in video production take the hit, but that they all get a substantial payoff for keeping their mouths shut.

Nobody should really have that much rank without a knifeproof back and a light coating of Teflon. And, like Bill Clinton, put nothing even slightly incriminating in writing.

#6 Shell back and the CPO initiation are mere shadows of what they once were; blame PC and/or women on boats.
while on the Kennedy ( 1997) it wasn't called the love boat for nothing; many a time i came out of my shop to find some level of he-in' and she-in' going on. bad for morale and discipline, but far better than the forthcoming he-in' and he-in'/she-in' and she-in' that will ultimately become mandatory, rather than optional.

#7 Exactly, USN. Especially after many of the straights get out when their enlistments expire. Or resign their commissions.
