It reminds me of what "don't ask, don't tell" used to mean back in the 1990's.
-As long as you don't relieve me late for your watch, I don't give a #### what your beliefs are. -Don't show me a picture of your wife, girlfriend, or kids unless you expect me to lie out my ###. "No, that's her in the corner." "Oh, I thought that was a smudge on the picture.." -or- "Wow, you must have used a wide-angle lens". As an example, our gallant CO on the Bremerton decided we needed a "dependent's cruise" because our time in the shipyard wasn't ####ty enough. So there we are, sailing to Kauai with a load of wives, kids, and the bull#### that entails. I sneak off to berthing to grab some smokes out of my rack and, well, submariners are submariners. One of my shipmates and his wife decided that if they couldn't hone one off at test depth, well any depth would do. Let's just say that neither of these people were in demand to pose for fashion magazines. Never mind their feelings, I had to witness that ####. Last edited by ET2SN; 01-16-20 at 09:27 PM.

No, just most of the time when the ship is underway. Berthing is usually rigged for white when most of the crew is supposed to be awake (manuv. watch, drills, daytime watches and routines in-port, field days , etc.). There wasn't really a hard and fast policy (it could also be different ship-to-ship) but rig-for-white was better ("safer") unless some guys were trying to sleep. This is a pretty good question because I've never really had to pay attention to it. Like I said earlier, there's no hard rule about when to change the lighting in berthing. An interesting variation would be week-end in-port duty days. On Sat and Sun, The CO, XO, COB and most of the crew are not on board. Berthing could be rigged for red by 9 AM if someone had a tough previous night in town or at home. Last edited by ET2SN; 01-17-20 at 05:22 PM. |

No Pens!
I'm wondering if the pens were actually made in Mexico.

I have a law related question.
In some of the movies, series or documentary I have seen where an American court have been a part of this. Some speaker say something like State against...name of the accused Isn't Trump head of the State ? So what will speaker say when this impeachment start ? State against Trump ? Or Markus |

Im not by any means a legal scholar. But congress represents the people from their districts. Senators represent their whole state.
I'll hazard a guess and say it would be the People vs the President.

It doesn't look very deep to me, do you need glasses?

If you ignore the politics and focus on the "facts" of this case, this investigation would never have made it past a Grand Jury let alone a probable cause (preliminary) hearing. Last edited by MaDef; 01-22-20 at 09:26 AM. Reason: spelling |
