Underway on board USS Providence SSN 719.  We had just LEFT the gulf to make our way home….we were already in need of repairs after 5 months of being deployed and had just made critical repairs to our electric plant.  It was about 2100 when every officer got called to the wardroom (we were at PD).  About an hour later while I was on watch finishing up some samples, we got told over the 1MC about the reports and the little info that was given to us.  Immediately this ship was on blackout comms back and forth, so the wife didn’t hear from me for two months.  We immedieatly turned around, flanked back, put two fish in the tubes, loaded up two tomahawks in the tubes, and found a welcoming committee waiting for us not knowing if they were friend or foe yet…it took about a week for them to denounce the attacks, but we didn’t know going in to that…Like to say after almost of a month of waiting, the ship launched every tomahawk we could at those fraking a-holes…we wanted to reload at Diego Garcia, but they said home is where we belonged…didn’t help that our Seawater systems were becoming fouled like a mofo after sitting off the coast for a month.

Providence would then be called to do the same its next deployment against Iraq.  This time she did reload.  :evil:

I often come across interesting news and information sources and thought maybe it might be of value of we could share some of them.  I would suggest nothing that was too narrow in focus or too partisan on issues.  If there is a partisan slant then it should at least be somewhat subtle, polite and humourous if possible.

Some of my historic favourites are:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/ -  No doubt the best source of weapons systems and general military/intelligence related topics.  Clear the cookie for this site to get past the number of article restrictions.

This is a new one to me, some of his views are opposite of mine but he does have humour to me.  This came to me when surfing and was a link to US natural gas production.  That article was here:

It seemed well written so I checked out the blog and liked his style, but it’s not been fully vetted yet.  I would be considered leftist in the US (on some issues that seem to be hot button and rightist on economic issues) but his recent comments on David Gregory et al were pretty funny

This website of course, it should be everyone’s goto site!

Good morning Garg. Suppose you drink black coffee though(like the Turk!)
Perhaps you could start adding milk.

There used to be an outfit in Calgary that allowed that.

Of course they were using miles gear… AKA Lazer Tag.

War on Global Warming
better known to experts as
Global Cyclical Weather Patterns.
See…The Four Billionth Annual Edition of The Annotated Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Other Undocumented Prattle.

The same experts that also wrote “How the Lord really needed only seven days to create the world, and how he never could allow a man-made warming trend?” …

Or was it the expert that wrote “How to try to be funny again and again” :D ;) ?
