A Navy at war? Part IV

Think about 2006/7. Think about what our Sailors and Marines have done. Think about where we need to place our resources and efforts towards the defeat of an existential threat to our civilization. Think about how we we should recognize and reward every contribution that leads to victory.

A friendly note to VADM Stufflebeem. Admiral, tell your Staff Weenies to stop using MSWord to draft their messages. That is why you get all the awkward and unprofessional "?" in your messages. You can use special characters in record message traffic, but only if you use the correct procedures - and don't cheat. General beatings for all, my recommendation. Start with those who merged RM with DP so now we have underemployed NMCI'd ITs (different rant for different day). My 'ole RMCS would have never let that message leave his shop......oooohhhhhh nooooooo! Heads would roll! But that was then; this is now.
