@cdrsalamander I am heading there next week - first time to visit my son stationed there and he is taking leave and we traveling the country for 2 weeks. Can’t wait - of course his momma is more excited to see him but also happy to travel Japan. 😎
“USS Abraham Lincoln headed for port in Thailand after 250 days at sea.”
The chaos that is about to ensue very few can understand.
Half a years saved paychecks, cheapest port call around, women behind display cases. Stay out of the boxing ring!
Good speed shipmates 🫡🇺🇸

@CindySMBS@florida_grand@FloridaGirl314 “Unbearable” noise pollution? More misinformation… the only noise you may hear from one is the monthly generator testing that lasts all of 20 minutes.
@FloridaGirl314 I don’t know why we still talking about this - new data centers are closed loop cooling systems so beyond the initial entry of water it doesn’t use any after other than normal bathroom use….
My son is trying @johnkonrad - got his paperwork in and it says it was forwarded to hiring but hasn’t heard a thing in over a month. He even went and took some certs at a school in Jax. Wants Entry Level- any help?
A few years ago, a young engineer at Maritime College got into knife making.
I commissioned him to make a knife of a very unusual and exceedingly difficult design. He failed. Repeatedly. For over a year.
Then he went aboard a ship and learned new machine shop skills.
He delivered the knife, then moved on to win the hit series Forged in Fire.
Here’s the machine shop aboard the Navy’s newest fast oiler.
Go join MSC and learn a skill.
@TimSheehyMT So what’s the answer - legitimately curious? I know nothing about ranching but love beef…and certainly don’t want to see American Ranchers hurt - but prices are high
On the last day of the Obama administration the national debt was $19.95 trillion. Now it’s $40 trillion. Trump and Biden and Congress under both parties doubled the national debt in the last decade. Once you get past the fun finger pointing, the fact remains this was a bipartisan failure.
Should have had a war tax right after 9/11 - would have helped with some of that plus ended those engagements quicker. They however pale in comparison to entitlement spending and tax cuts that aren’t covered.
In the mid-1990s the national debt was roughly $5 trillion and there was a push for a federal balanced budget amendment. In fact, the vote in the US Senate on the BBA fell just one vote shy of passage.
Imagine how different the fiscal trajectory of the country would have been had that requirement been adopted?
Would anyone have predicted at that time that 30 years later the debt would reach $40 trillion?
