@David6179188752 @mercoglianos @johnkonrad Back then it was about maintaining mines and assembling them to be loaded on aircraft.

@mercoglianos @johnkonrad Now is that a minelaying or minesweeping designation or .. both?

Just curious… Can anyone tell me what “MNI USN” means?

@hskenncutter I do half water and half milk. Gives it a creamier taste especially if you add cheese.

アメリカから届いたグリッツを調理。まず説明書通りに塩で煮た。煮ているうちにどんどんグリッツの形が変わっていく。立派なお粥になったので、バターとチーズを入れて食べるが、やや物足りない。そこで鶏ガラスープの素を入れたら印象が大きく変わり美味しくなった。これは研究し甲斐のある食材だ🤗

Dear President Trump, Thomas Sowell is an American treasure. Please consider honoring him with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I can’t think of a greater representative of American values.

@CryptoMikli Not disagreeing, it’s just every time this comes up it turns to cut veteran benefits.

@CryptoMikli Considering the size of the veteran community in the US 5.4% of the total population I think we have bigger fish to fry.

Caleb Hammer explains why the VA disability system should be changed because too many people are manipulating it “Let’s reconstruct it so that if anyone served, we give them a permanent pension forever. Let’s not call it a disability, because people immediately misconstrue it, get coached on it, and completely abuse the process” “There are a lot of people who are suffering and experiencing real disabilities, but I’ve been digging deep, and we’ve had so many false examples on this show. So instead of having this system that’s so easy to abuse, like any other disability system, I’d rather have people go through their entire service and then receive a pension for life” “The only way to make any kind of social system sustainable, and actually provide it to the people who need it, is by making it sustainable”

@sparky_vq3 @thomasbsauer @gcanderson57 Man I hated dungarees. I lived in coveralls as much as possible.

@thomasbsauer @gcanderson57 I miss my bell-bottom Dungarees with patch-pockets, stencil name and iron-on rank, with a Dixie cup. we didn’t have to take our working uniforms to a tailor to get them built or updated.

About the old “blueberries” we wore for a number of years… An old family friend is a long-retired 4 star. Nearly 20 yrs ago, he asked his current flag officer friends “WTF?” with those uniforms. Then-serving admirals said, “Hey, don’t look at us, it was the master chiefs!” Apparently, a focus group called “Task Force Uniform” comprised of mostly senior enlisted who haven’t been to sea for a VERY long time were jealous of the Marines (many such cases) and their sharp new MARPAT uniforms at the time. The “NWU Type I” uniform was a stupid looking imitation of the Marines. Not only that, they also got rid of great traditional uniforms, added stupid ones like khaki and black service uniforms for E6 and below, and teased us with Service Dress Khakis, but never implemented them en masse; only the admirals and senior master chief got to wear them for “testing.” Whole thing was a complete shit show. At least we got quality coveralls. We need to go back. Whole thing was such a waste. No more camo unless you’re a SEAL, SeaBee, Diver, EOD, or similar. Working uniforms can be (new and improved) dungarees, wash khaki, etc. You get the idea.

@Howard58855 @thomasbsauer That was over stated. The only color that stands out is international orange and even then you are hard to locate.

@thomasbsauer "Blueberries". Hey! Let's dress sailors up in camo so when they fall in the water we can't find them!

@thomasbsauer @TheAdamWaite Yeah I hated EOD just for that alone. Oh and burning det cord on my forecastle.

@TheAdamWaite EOD spends very little time on ships. When we were, we’d just wear whatever the hell we wanted lol. When I was on a carrier as an EOD guy (uncommon), we’d wear flight suits more than anything else. They were comfy, and we did stuff with the helo guys more than anyone else!

@thomasbsauer I know I’m in the minority but I liked the blue berries. 1 our first Gortex jacket 2 cargo pockets 3 comfortable. If you are worried about not being seen in the water the only color that really stands out is international orange so imagine that one.

@HMBohemond Verhoeven didn’t want to make starship troopers. He wanted to make aliens from planet P but the studio had the rights for troopers so he adapted the movie he wanted so he could get the cash. He never even read the novel.

The Starship Troopers movie is so different, trying and failing to be satire, because Paul Verhoeven wanted to disparage and defame Robert Heinlein. It basically exists to slander the man and the novel because Verhoeven morally disagreed with it. Heinlein remains eternally vindicated because the movie is an endorsement of his ideas.

Larry Fink ends WEF with a quote from Elon Musk, "It's better to be an optimist and wrong, than being a pessimist who's right."

@DaveF937 Based on how the Navy has wasted its budget on all of its new ship building projects for the last 20 years. Not much. Money + complicated book keeping = fraud.

While viewing this, keep in mind that this is the SR-71 Blackbird that was revealed to the public in 1964. 61+ years ago. Imagine what we have behind the curtain.
