@RealChapAmerica@SecWar@DeptofWar@USNavy@NavyChaplains Back when I was in the USN, I was gunshy about going to the chaps for anything *because* they always presented as an officer first, spiritual leader second.
I can't feel like someone like that will take what I have to say in confidence without narcing me out.
@TheEbonyMaw Gotta love intra-office email encryption that is incompatible with half the email servers a company uses.
FFS we work for the same org, there ain't shit you're telling me that needs to be kept *that* secret.
@HiddenHistoryYT Another turret barrel is on display in Verny Park in Yokosuka as well. About an hour south of Tokyo by train. Also home of the famed battleship Mikasa!
@HiddenHistoryYT One of her anchors, a turret, a screw, a rudder, and some other parts are on display outside the Yamato Museum in Kure; about 45 minutes south of Hiroshima. Well worth the visit.
@pnwguerrilla As much as I hate doing this, in defense of his lawyer (ew); he's a court-appointed public defender. Karmel Kandy-Ass' family blew all the crowdfunding dough on anything they could so they were unable to afford even a cheap lawyer.

@japan_nobunaga I had a coworker buy an 8 ounce steak of wagyu and prepare it in the traditional American fashion. He said it "tasted funny" and it put him on the toilet for two days ๐คฃ
We asked if it was wagyu and then laughed at him for cooking and eating it wrong.
@gamu0514 Even ignoring media bias, Japan is still a high trust society; so election fraud would be something relatively inconceivable. It was the same here in the US, up until 2000, when we had the "hanging chad" scandal during that election. A lot of people started to lose faith.
@AlexHollings52 There are some things in this world I am not allowed to touch; but just give me five minutes with a screwdriver and I'd have one hell of a conversation piece...
@tuuu28283 Recently it's Godzilla Minus One. Some buddies and I watched it a year or two ago and not a single one of us spoke or even glanced at our phones until that epic was over.
