quote:

After the incident, the foreign media reported that "Donald Cook" was rushed into a port in Romania. There all the 27 members of the crew filed a letter of resignation. It seems that all 27 people have written that they are not going to risk their lives. This is indirectly confirmed by the Pentagon statement according to which the action demoralized the crew of the American ship.

Ya this story sounds legit.

This was like every week with us for a while. It became a game to see who would get caught sober enough to be called back, culminating in guys chugging 40s in the parking lot before driving home. Of course we weren't clinic corpsmen and didn't, you know, live in the barracks right by work or anything

That's ridiculous. It's not really a frequent thing. It was a little more complicated of a situation that we were getting recalled for but who cares. Got that Memorial day to look forward to. :frogbon:

I haven't read any other source about any destroyer in the black sea suddenly making port, but I am pretty sure radars don't just shut off when they are jammed. Odds are they had a malfunction unrelated to what any russian anything was doing and had to make port, and russia is using it as a propaganda point.

Could also be lovely google translated page as well, as it looks like it was kind of machine translated.:shrug:

E: Read a page on CNN of all things, no "sudden failure of anything" was claimed, but eh, I trust naval equipment about this much, which is not really much at all.

I believe the article was for domestic consumption, and then translated for posterity. I doubt the source is any more credible than Mark Levin or the Korean Central News Agency.

It is here for its comedy value.

edit: someone else explain how Aegis is not a singular system, but a brand name for a collection of systems that allow for practically complete dominance in a warfare environment, and that SPY-1_ (the thing that most people see and associate with destroyers and cruisers) has a power output that can make birds fall out the sky fully cooked by radiofreq energy -- therefore jamming it is a comical thing because we just increase power to overcome raspberries.

They have some weird colored flags that fly out on some ship mast looking thing with weird colors going along. All I know about them is we can't fly the ensign lower than them if we're at half mast.

So my friend's fiance just got told in boot camp that he's going to be an MM Nuke, when will he find out how lovely his life is? She's asking me questions like I know the answer.

Because I can't find a decent thing to turn into a big AV. :shrug: It is amazingly difficult to fit an image into 180x200 and it still look decent, I suppose i could replace it with a giant flaming skull gif or something else suitably retarded that you would see as a phone background circa mid 2000's.

When he gets to his boat. If he's going sub, he should push for welding school. It won't make boat life any better, but it will prolong the inevitable for a few months.

No bonus.

About that requal. We went like two years without proficiency welds, so we had to do a one week refresher course to requalify. It was time spent away from the boat, so it was worth it.
