Moore Fri, 04 Apr 2008 19:59:16 +0000 http://commentsfromleftfield.com/2008/04/the-admiral-and-the-recruit#comment-28693 Hey, Chief. When I went through, fall of 96, they had shift boot camp companies to divisions... Can't remember how much earlier, but I remember a couple of older petty officers referencing it. When I got to the ship, we were all in divisions. I was in RL Div on board Ike for about seven years before I left it. I don't necessarily want these people to have been drafted, or to voluntarily serve. I don't think military service is mandatory for elected service, and I don't think pandering is a necessity, though, in Hampton Roads Virginia, it kinda is. I just want people to respect the service. If they don't understand something, then say so. That's kind of the same deal with Tuzlagate. I don't care if she didn't have to duck sniper fire. I really don't care what Hillary did as the first lady. I just want her to be up front with what she brought to the table. If she picked up a few things in the White House, that's fine, but if you're pretending you're commando first lady co-president, I have issue with that, you know? Hey, Chief.

Gives one goosebumps, I suppose. I don'r know what Navy has divisions of men. The Navy I was in had Companys in Boot Camp. A destroyer squadron of eight ships had two squadrons, 4 ships each. the can I was on was in DesDiv 222. People like Rep. McHenry make me wish for a mandatory draft. Everyone of those sorry-ass Repubs should be forced to serve in the military. Nice story. Gives one goosebumps, I suppose. I don’r know what Navy has divisions of men.

Come on, don't kid yourself. Do you really think anybody but an America would have direct access to a US Congressman, in the green zone, alone? Come on, don’t kid yourself.
