Thank you for all your support, and the Final Five for Navy are:
- USNI’s blog
- Neptunus Lex
- Admiral Harvey's US Fleet Forces Command blog
- SteelJaw Scribe
- .....and little 'ole Salamander
That my friends is a group I am proud to be in formation with.
Give it a ponder and place your votes .... and while you are at it, throw a little love Maggie's way in the Military Support Category.
Vote early - vote often - and remember that you only have until 07 APR to vote.
Don't abandon your friends, it isn't - sniff - pretty.
UPDATE: I would also recommend "A Little Pink In a World of Camo" in the "U.S. Military (spouse)" category.
'scuse the ignorance. What hulk are we looking at here...and where ??
ReplyDeleteI am with Pete. But, I think it looks British.
ReplyDeleteI hate that I have to vote for either a Blog done by the good Admiral and for a blog by the good Cdr. I don't think you can compare the two. I am SURE that if the Admiral did not have gold braid weighing his wrists down we would see some utterly stellar blogging by him.
The most prolific GOFO blogger--and I would say the biggest champion of active duty blogging--I have not even seen mentioned and it has caused me to wonder why this is. Did Adm Stavridis get a nod in the nomination process? He has much of his staff blogging as well. Yet, no real mention of him... Is it cause he's not CONUS? Strange.
I'm thinking IJN heavy cruiser...didn't one get beached at Guadacanal?
ReplyDeleteNot even close .... you're going to kick yourself .......
ReplyDeleteAhem, that's the Soviet Cruiser Murmansk what ran aground in Norway while on the way to shipbreakers in India. They just left it to rust in place.
ReplyDeleteEasy answer. They all blog at USNI!
ReplyDeleteDo I get a prize?
ReplyDeleteThe triple gun turrets had me thinking it was a Cleveland class for awhile but then I remembered seeing this thing before, thinking it was weird that nobody had done anything about the wreck.
Back to the title...
ReplyDeleteVOTE! Mention in your OTHER favorite blogs to vote (if there are heresey/apostasy/blasphemy charges, let them wait until after the 7th).
Do it for your own reasons.
Personally I am looking forward to the acceptance speech transcript. Will it mention a favorite wine? That 34 yr old guy who dressed up like a BGen? We won't know unless we get out the vote...
Getting a little parochial, Mary? :)
ReplyDeleteWCOG gets a 48-hr liberty chit to use over any weekend.
ReplyDeleteVoted in all the categories. I'm alla twitter and duckbumps to see the results. ;)
ReplyDeleteHuzzah!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Navy under the current visionary leadership in DC?
ReplyDeleteWhat did you expect Byron ?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the support Sal. Can you also throw a little nod in that post for the Military spouse candidate "A Little Pink in a world of Camo"? The second place candidate "ArmyWifetoddlerMom" is also asking people to support Rachel Porto.
ReplyDeleteCPL Jonathan Porto was KIA in Afghanistan on March 14th, 3 weeks ago. I really, really want her to take this prize in a big way.
I gave you a plug over at Chromed Curses, who is in competition against BostonMaggie in the Mil Support category...now I'm gonna have two (more) wimmins ticked off at me...such is life. :-E
ReplyDeleteWhen did the Murmansk sink? How long she's been there?
ReplyDeleteI've read comments on the concern - at USNI Blog - about the concern moving Texas, Olympia, even Yorktown - this looks like case in point.
GOH - go vote for "A Little Pink In A world of Camo" (in US Military Spouse) and I will love you forever! LL is a good friend and I could never resent a vote for her.
ReplyDeleteAs I said in my blog, LL, Leta and the USO Girls walk the walk in troop support....I am just screwing around trying to get Sailors to pay attention to me.
Your wish is my command. I've never said "no" to a redhead, and I'm not about to start now.
ReplyDelete;)
She's been there since 1994, broke her tow on the way to the breakers in India.
ReplyDeleteApparently, she is being cut up in place now, at least according to this article. http://www.afgruppen.no/en/Environment/News/AF-Gruppen-is-removing-the-abandoned-ship--Murmansk--/
Dang,. Can I vote for two in the sailor category? I mean, I love you, man, but Lex was my first one, of Naval Bloggers. He very gently introduced me, with hardly any pain, and I soon learned to to move with him, and enjoy it.

ReplyDeleteSorry about that. Modem hung up on me when I was trying to post. I really don't have that kind of feeling for Cap'n Lex. Honest! Please delete all but one copy of that comment.
