SHIPS.

Speaking of Ships.......A few years after the Japanese lost the war....The asked the US if they would be aloud to rebuild a New Navy....And they were given permission 'But with one stipulation......All their new Navy Ships had to be equipped with Glass bottoms....

So this way they could see their old Navy Ships.........

Doesn't Japan have a coast guard?

[trike lady]

You got tickets for the USS BILLINGS that's great. Enjoy the ceremony. :clapping: I'll be watching the ceremony on the big screen laptop.

 

[bikerbillone]

Yes, thanks for the tip. Looking forward to a new experience, won't be on the cheap, but an experience. I'm guessing they have commissionings down south from time to time, so maybe we will catch another one later on if this one works out.

Breaking News.

The USS INDIANAPOLIS LCS17 is coming up for commissioning on October 26, 2019. http://www.ussindianapolislcs17.com/events/commissioning.html

This is my 3rd ship. :clapping:

 

[bikerbillone]

Guess I won't be going to that, are you?

 

[trike lady]

No I'll have to pass on that one too. Renting an RV is expensive and my plans were to rent one to go to Florida to view both ceremonies the one on July 27 and August 3. My laptop seems to be the cheapest way to see the ceremony. . I may just buy a large monitor for the laptop.

 

[bikerbillone]

Whoops, missed the one on the 27th, probably too late anyway, almost too late for the BILLINGS on Aug 3rd. Give me a head's up when ya know, I might be able to go again, who knows. You seem well connected on this business. Of course it gets expensive even though I live in FL.

 

[trike lady]

I work from this list and check it regularly: https://www.navycommissionings.org/ I check either by 'Commissioning Website' or 'Commissioning Year' and there are some that you have to work at finding info on. Some have 'Facebook' pages and so I have to dig for a website on those. Then there are those that you have to contact the 'Sponsoring Council' for info. I'm looking into membership in the Navy League and I'll know even more.

 

[trike lady]

Checked the list today and someone really needs to check their work, they have a ship listed as 'Under Construction' and a 2019 Commissioning. Sounds like its a PT boat. :xzqxz:

This is how they have it listed:

Ship name: John Basilone

Hull: DDG 122

Class: Arleigh Burke

Status: Under Construction

Location: Bath, ME

Commissioning Year: 2019

They're really in a hurry to get that one out to sea.

 

[rhino 2]

The Arleigh Burke class ships are guided missile destroyers ..

 

[trike lady]

Someone is really off on the time frame of that ship, maybe 2020 or 2021

The excitement will be building up on the 27th and the 3rd when the newest ships are commissioned and I have my own party. These ceremonies normally begin at 8:00am for me and so I am up, the big screen laptop is brought out and set up, breakfast is being prepared and by that time the ceremony is starting and I'm watching. The moment the order is given "Quartermaster break out the commissioning pennant' and then the order from the Ship Sponsor "Man our ship and bring her to life" and that's when the applauding starts and dishes go flying in the sink.

DDG 122 The John Basilone has anEstimated time for completion 2020?

So if its true to form 2022It’s interesting how the new ships of the class needed something like 30 +++ tons of extra weight added just for air-conditioning units for the new sophisticated radar that’s been added to them ..

 

[peteg59]

"Man our ship and bring her to life"

How much longer before the PC police force the Navy to reword their commissioning/launching ceremonial speeches???

Any day now the DDG 125 will be named The Nancy Pelosi ..

 

[trike lady]

I'd rather see one named for Ross Perot. :clapping:

My choice would be the Barry Goldwater

It was Amazing he lost the 64 election mostly because of a television commercial with little girl picking daisy petals....

Going off subject a little bit here but if you remember the Democrats were trying to say that Barry Goldwater could not run for president because he wasn’t a Citizen ! He was born in Arizona territory before it became a state

They'll ruin a time honored tradition. I can just hear the words now, "Okay you sailors, start the engine and shove off". :rofl:

Both Tom's aunts have birth certificates that read 'Territory of New Mexico' and that was before New Mexico became a state. They're both up in age. They can remember when Las Cruces was a small town with hardly anything in it.

 

[trike lady]

Next Saturday is the 27th and the Paul Ignatius is commissioned. :clapping:

HE IS THE HIGHEST RANKING ENLISTED MAN IN THEUSAF. HE IS SAID TO SPEAK TO ONLY TWO PEOPLE, GOD AND THE AIR FORCE CHIEF OF STAFF !!!LIKE IT OR NOT. THIS MAN PUT HIS NAME AND PICTURE TO WHAT HE HAD TO SAY.ONE HELL OF A LETTER!

Read This And Get Educated (He leaves no doubt how he feels...rather refreshing really.) by George Roof, Chief Master Sergeant, USAF (Retired)

Interesting Google Search on His Name

Because I am a "lifer" in the military, I've seen the impact of a president more than many of you can imagine. I enlisted with LBJ and saw just what a Democrat cluster flock was all about. I went to Vietnam and saw how we were constantly and incessantly bombarded with micromanagement from Washington that got thousands of military people killed. I sometimes wonder if I'll get to heaven, but if I go to hell, I'm sure I'll still be a few hundred floors above that bastard Robert McNamara, LB Johnson, John Kerry, Jane Fonda, and yes, even the "hero" John McCain.

After Johnson "abdicated" rather than having his a** waxed, I lived through Nixon who was hawkish but allowed the generals (and there WERE a few real generals back then versus now) run the show. Nixon was so out of touch that he never knew North Vietnam was about to surrender when the Paris Accord was presented .

Only God could help us after Gerald Ford was beaten by Jimmy 'Peanuts' Carter who'd been funded by Saudi money. The military was turned into Section 8 and even the White House suffered the austerity

Then the light began to shine and Ronald Reagan swept into the fray. He not only loved the country and the military, they l loved him back. Esprit d'corps was off the scale during his presidency. The Liberals were slowly turning into socialists, however, and about this time all the draft dodgers of the 1960's who'd been given amnesty by Jimmy 'Peanuts' were turning out college graduates with degrees in socialism. Bush 1 was an enigma from the CIA and though he never did much either way, he NEVER DID MUCH EITHER WAY.

Welcome to Bill Clinton. Clinton spent most of his two terms wagging the dog and creating the 'Oral' Office, sending a bomber to blow up Quaddafi's tent and killing a goat or two, while allowing the UN to set up the infamous Black Hawk Down situation He made history by becoming only the second president to be impeached.

I actually felt sorry for Bush 2. He was doomed to infamy from the start. He thought most of America was still the rah rah patriots of WWII when they were 'simply socialists' waiting to feed him to the sharks.

Then there came the Manchurian Candidate Obama with a faked (OK Democrats, let's say "of questionable origin" to assuage your PC brains) birth certificate, who'd gotten a free ride through college under a foreign student exemption, and whose college records and complete life history had been 'sealed.' (We know more about Thomas Jefferson's bastard children than we do about Obama, Michelle , OR their two faked kids.)

From his inaugural address, he slandered America and within days had begun to encourage dissension of the races as well as slandering police who "acted stupidly." That was mild to the crap that would come in doubling the national debt from what had been built by ALL THE PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS COMBINED, feeding us bullshit about how Muslims built this country, and nationalizing American industries.

Paragraph 9: Fueled by George Soros' money and using the Air Force fleet as his personal charters, he appointed malcontents and traitors into positions of authority. He trashed the Constitution by installing "czars" (interesting he chose a title like that) to bypass Congressional authority. By that time, Congress was completely corrupt on both sides of the aisle. No one had balls to impeach this charlatan Obama.

Mysteriously, the lone outspoken conservative Supreme Court Justice Scalia suddenly dies in his sleep at an Obama pal's hunting lodge and the Supreme Court is evenly split. Finally, Congress shows some balls and rejects Obama's Supreme Court, Justice nomination. The Libertards aren't worried because the fix is in. Soros 'has paid' demonstrators to cause turmoil at all the Republican gatherings.' Obama concedes that illegal aliens should vote as they won't be prosecuted, and Soros-manufactured voting machines are caught switching votes in certain precincts Hillary has cheated her way to the nomination and her lies are completely ignored by the brainwashed minions of sycophants who follow her.

But a shocking thing happened on the way to the forum.

Middle America had had enough and although the pollsters and the pipers tried to convince middle America not even to bother to vote, they were fed up with the denizens of the swamp. It was time. Florida was designated a "swing" state ignoring that all those old retirees living in St. Petersburg, and the fed up Cuban Americans of Miami weren't interested in their platform. Ohio and Pennsylvania, where coal production was blacklisted and where Obama had ridiculed them for "clinging to their Bibles and their guns," lay awaiting this supposed "landslide" Hillary vote,.... and creamed it.

The Socialist world of the Democratic Party disintegrated. An American who expressed unbridled love of country and respect for police, firemen, and military steamrolled across the heartland and the liberals realized their scheme was trashed. A CONSTITUTIONALIST would be nominated to the Supreme Court and if the old hag Ginsburg who'd claimed to retire if Trump were elected would actually retire and leave, the Supreme Court would have a massive majority of CONSTITUTIONALISTS for the next 40-50 years.

Now, the same party who'd ridiculed Trump on his comments about the election being rigged, started screaming that the election 'was' rigged. They even advocated having the election repeated. They created mobs that burned and pillaged, stopped traffic, threatened murder, battery and rape of Trump supporters, and became the anarchists that the socialist dream thrives upon. They run like castrated pigs for safe zones and use diaper pins as their national symbol.

This is exactly what happens when political correctness takes over and participation trophies are awarded to everyone. They can't conceive how disgusting and subservient they have become.

Donald Trump may NOT be the best person for the job, but he's such a welcome respite from the candy-assed wimps who've been running the swamp that it's refreshing to see. At the very least, Donald Trump derailed the Socialist train and bought us precious time. If he only does half of what he's promised, we'll still be legions ahead of where Obama has dragged us. Already countries who held us in contempt are lining up to be found in the favor of America. Donald Trump has done more in his short time in the public eye...he prevented Hillary Clinton from becoming president!

So for you liberal lurkers and you half-assed fence-sitters, Tough shit! You had your big hurray and now your party is over For you staunch Republicans in office, don't gloat so much yourselves. You've been put on notice by the American people that we're fed up with ALL YOU BASTARDS and if you don't start putting America first, you do so at your own peril. You might want to buy a copy of George McGovern's autobiography and see how shocking and humbling it can be for a professional politician to have to try to find legitimate work once he falls from grace.

This election was pure, unadulterated AMERICAN!!! Hillary was beaten and AMERICA WON THE ELECTION. You can claim he's not "your president" all you want, but unless you 'forfeit' your American citizenship, .....

YES, HE IS YOUR PRESIDENT!!!

Very truthful and a man not afraid to tell the truth. :clapping:

 

[ol' school]

Awesome letter! Thanks for sharing it Sully!!!

 

[peteg59]

Great prospective and thought process from this Top Dog Air Force enlisted man.:clapping:

He'll likely be forced into retirement though if a Dim becomes POTUS in 20', with his "manifesto" out there and on line for all to see...

 

[MDO]

That man's name is Wright, not Roof & he didn't write that.

I really can't believe you good people would fall for this.
