  1. https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/International/exclusive-us-bring-back-gerald-r-ford-aircraft-carrier-eastern-mediterranean/story%3fid=106021259 This is what the US Navy didnt want people to know.
  2. You know the ads are targeted. Are you trying to find a cheesecake hack or something while growing out your hair?
  3. https://m.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-780016 Nah Israel took the war to them.
  4. The war is about to get bigger. Iran has officially enters this Donnybrook
  5. Yeah. It is easier to make something with 20 people than it is to maintain something with 80,000 employees. The FB data base is at something like 1 billion users a day. That's a lot of maintaining. Monetization is a driver but it is also to put out a good end user product. I hate ads but without ads you'd have to pay for it. Then everyone is bitching that they have to pay for stuff.
  6. Airlines are now credit card companies who happen to fly airplanes
  7. Well shit. Let's get this bitch started. Anchors aweigh, my boys, anchors aweigh
  8. He took the fall for Berrygate. If you know the inner machinations of the military industrial complex. Northrop Grumman made too much berries and to keep their stock price high. They dumped it on the Navy. Wrong place wrong time for Mr. Crunch
  9. None of this shit would have happened if they didn't force retire Captain Crunch. He would have made a great admiral. He just didn't know how to play the game.
  10. My politics swing pretty much to the right. But we can't talk about ineptitude in military leadership without someone who actively held up 100 or so appointments out of spite and you call that CR'ing it? Just calling a spade a spade. But I thank you because when the guys on the left call me a trumpkin and the guys on the right call me a libtard. It means I'm still capable of independent thought. So no sir Mr @Trey3216 thank you.
  11. I wish I could find the picture. There was one year we were top side for a swim call. Butch our nuke mechanic was qualified diver. He is standing in a picture with 4 other dudes and someone goes. I bet in a million years. You couldn't tell me who the nuke is
  12. I never went to dive school. I can't swim. But I knew probably 10 people that went. 3 came back with their dive pins. The others were back within the first week. The school may have changed and how crazy they can be may have changed, but the water will weed you out really fast. The ones that didn't make it were strong ass swimmers, they just panicked when shit hit the fan. I guess the first week they call it confidence week where they throw you under water blindfolded and they start spinning you around under water and punching you to see your reaction. A lot of the dudes didn't make it through that phase.
  13. he must've signed up for the NUPOC program. That and STA-21 are probably the two best officer programs to get into.
  14. Well shit. Why don't they go strike the Houthis then? They don't want to be under our command and control groups but they want to jaw jack at something they want us to do. Why don't they do it themselves?
  15. A snowboard and a oculus 3
  16. You sir are an idiot
  17. Funny story though. Recently landed a role as an IC4 Critical Facility Engineer with META. They pay pretty well. My first week there I started reading the procedures and the processes and I'm just thinking holy fuck why is this shit so familiar to me. Turns out they hired a former Deputy Director of NavSea08 to run their infrastructure side and he copied and pasted the process from the nuke side. What makes it great is his counterpart is an early dude with META so he says hey you can bring all the nuclear stuff in here and make it how you want, but we start trying to fry our people over stupid shit and that's not going to work. Very unique balance from what I see so far.
  18. Yeah during A school and Power school. It had your different ranges. The extreme ranges. We had guys who failed a test and their punishment was 45-5. That meant you had to do 45 hours a week of extra studying and at least 5 hours a night. A lot of those guys joined the Skipjack diving team. Skipjack was the barracks room closest to the school house. Everyone walked down "the spine" to get to the school house and every few weeks you would see someone take a dive off the 3rd floor.
  19. Hahahaha. The nuclear guys had to deal with more shit than anyone. First on last off. A forward division couldn't figure something out? Engineering go fix it for them while they go on liberty. We always said if it was a forward problem it was a boat problem. If it was aft it was an engineering problem. They only had one standard for us and it was double. Yeah, the nuclear program launched a bunch of awesome opportunities for us after the Navy but it was also the most crippling bullshit in the world. I once got a submarine turned around after 30 days on deployment because I missed an initial on the paperwork. My handwriting was there to say the indicator light turned "on" and the first initial guy had his initial there. Mine was missed because the line for my initial was cut off on the bottom of the page. I went from the top E5 with an early promote to promotable on my next evaluation.
  20. Have him hire a friend to film things. Go in public and punch people in the face.
  21. AWS is where it is because they were the first to accidentally stumble into the cloud space. Everyone else didn't see it and had to play catch up. Now that they are actually catching up they are actually beginning to lag. I recently jumped from AWS corporate on the infrastructure side to Meta to the Infra data center side. Night and day difference on how things are done.
  22. Saudi doesn't have dudes with the will to do bad stuff...is this a serious statement? I mean, my impression is that Saudi will do any and every fucked up thing you can come up with, so long as they see it as being in their best interests. Saudis will steal candy from a baby. Saudis won't still candy from the adults who are meaner than them.
  23. I tried. Apparently FedEx doesn't ship munitions overseas. And now the ATF is investigating me for ITAR stuff. Last time I listen to a college sports website telling me to send missiles to Iran to stop a war. Fucking regarded ass people.
