#1 So, take the next best thing - Already safer than the Covid Vaccine proved with over 2 Centuries of use, and still going strong, with endorsements by most of today's medical community (who prescribed the 21st Centuries' Pfizer, J&J, Merck remedies) as an "all else fails fallback remedy"

Demand plummets for Vaccine

#2 ...Seen this story elsewhere, and something just doesn't feel right about it.

What they should do - and I may catch some Hell for this - is tell them to prepare to get underway, then get a squad of MPs aboard to carry this guy off, and not let him loose until the ship is out to sea.

#4 The CO is unnamed. That's a tell right there, as the ID would shed unwanted light on the actual issue - perhaps something to do with the alphabet.

#5 How peculiar... I always heard for 'ossifers' it was Obey, Resign, or Leavenworth

#6 I'm so old I remember when the Navy was famous for helping to win wars. Nowadays, it is poor ship-handling and goofy policies.

#7 so in other words mike you're readily available to take it in the ass like you're saying do to an adulthood long service member. Guess you would sit down willingly and when they put one of the letter people in a foxhole with you.

#9 they have no reason to take MP's on the ship, wouldn't that be about the same as a mutiny if the CO has done nothing wrong? Evidently he hasn't , why give out exemptions if they can't be used. I know I'm not the smartest individual here but some really need to get out of their bullshit thinking from 50 years ago.
