Also the old Hay-Pauncefote Treaty is still in effect and Wisconsin would comfortably exceed the maximum allowed gunpower for naval vessels on the Great Lakes.

The Alabama is in Mobile. The Kittyhawk in a hulk in Bremerton. The Intrepid in NYC and the Midway in San Diego is just fine.

So a little bit of SBP-DIC offset news. In the House, the number of cosponsors for HR 553 has increased to 365 with the following additions: Rep. Fudge, Marcia L. [D-OH-11] 06/28/2019 Rep. Chu, Judy [D-CA-27] 06/28/2019 Rep. Graves, Garret [R-LA-6] 06/28/2019 Rep. Butterfield, G. K. [D-NC-1] 06/28/2019 Rep. Fletcher, Lizzie [D-TX-7] 06/28/2019 Rep. Yoho, Ted S. [R-FL-3] 06/28/2019 These districts are represented by assholes: Alabama: 4th, 6th Arizona: 5th California: 2nd, 11th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd, 34th, 35th, 45th, 50th Florida: 11th, 19th, 23rd Georgia: 5th, 7th, 13th Idaho: 1st Illinois: 3rd, 14th Indiana: 1st, 6th, 9th Kansas: 3rd Kentucky: 4th Maryland: 5th Michigan: 3rd Mississippi: 2nd, 3rd Nebraska: 3rd New York: 5th, 7th, 8th, 10th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 19th, 23rd, 25th North Carolina: 5th, 6th, 10th Ohio: 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, 16th Oklahoma: 5th Oregon: 3rd Pennsylvania: 4th, 9th, 10th South Carolina: 6th South Dakota: You only have the one Texas: 3rd, 13th, 19th, 21st, 30th Washington: 9th Wisconsin: 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th S 622 is holding still at 75 cosponsors. Shelby, Richard C. - (R - AL) Isakson, Johnny - (R - GA) Perdue, David - (R - GA) Ernst, Joni - (R - IA) Grassley, Chuck - (R - IA) Braun, Mike - (R - IN) Young, Todd - (R - IN) McConnell, Mitch - (R - KY) King, Angus S., Jr. - (I - ME) Hawley, Josh - (R - MO) Fischer, Deb - (R - NE) Sasse, Ben - (R - NE) Portman, Rob - (R - OH) Lankford, James - (R - OK) Toomey, Patrick J. - (R - PA) Reed, Jack - (D - RI) Thune, John - (R - SD) Lee, Mike - (R - UT) Romney, Mitt - (R - UT) Kaine, Tim - (D - VA) Warner, Mark R. - (D - VA) Johnson, Ron - (R - WI) Barrasso, John - (R - WY) Enzi, Michael B. - (R - WY) The Senate is a bag of dicks and didn't add SBP-DIC offset to the NDAA. Jim Inhofe, on behalf of an anonymous senator, blocked Doug Jones' attempt to add it through unanimous consent. After blocking the amendment Inhofe said "now, what we can do is go ahead and do what is necessary with this very popular cause." Jim Inhofe is the chairman of the committee where the standalone bill in the Senate to repeal the offset is rotting away. Prick. McNally fucked around with this message at 04:53 on Jul 2, 2019 |

Seems to me we have a fair number relative to our naval and merchant fleet, I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make? The amount of museum ships in Manitoba is a bit weird but hey, they keep well in saltwater. I really need to check out the museum in L’Islet someday, I’ve been meaning to for the past 15 years or so.

I took a tour of the regular weapon magazine on Reagan and holy gently caress is it out of the way. Made me very glad I didn't have to climb a ladder down three decks to get to work every day (or climb three decks back to get to the bathroom). They didn't let us take pictures though. Also! If you get the chance, visit the Midway on Memorial Day weekend. They get a bunch of retiree volunteers up with the aircraft displays talking in more detail about them, and you can take a tour inside the E-2.  Also also, I'm super glad right now that Trump has no idea what an E-2 Hawkeye is.

I used to be a volunteer on the Midway so I've been all through the old girl's insides (insert ur mom joke here to taste), and I did a bunch of work restoring the CIC with a bunch of old ex-Navy dudes. If you notice the callsign Gator on one of the displays, well that's my dad's old callsign that I convinced them to let me add to the exhibit.

I really want to know how much a brand new Sherman would cost top build today for a parade. Atleast like 2-3 mill right because each one would be basically hand built from scratch? It's not lrt ether tooling wasnt scavenged for anything else in the 70 years since we're stopped building them

Isn't there a veterans group taking over a bunch of poo poo on July 4th, like got the permits when trmup was talking about a big parade? Or was that for veterans day? I somehow remember something like a 5k being organized for one or both of those days. Have a few people make cardboard tanks and group run the 5k. Those were probably the two best tanks on Bragg. At least motive long enough to get on a train. Def gonna poo poo everywhere. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 04:05 on Jul 2, 2019 |
