Lol. US military shot down party balloon near El Paso after drone suspicion, official says https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-military-shot-down-party-balloon-near-el-paso-after-suspecting-drone-official-says

I may be an outlier here, but I actually prefer an unelected and (mostly) "figured head" Senate, same with our Head of State.

Oh 100%. I'm curious about how hard they're going to after the ones they don't have on file but believe they know about.

Was it one of the new HVACs in cabins 1-5, or one of the old ones that would leak water on you when the ship took a heavy roll?

Stop. You're going to fracture his fragile world view.

One big concern I have, which I'm curious whether is even being considered at high levels (though I doubt it would be made public) is that in an all out war between China and the US, I feel it's likely China would include SK in their target list due to their Western leaning and the fact that...

In response... Gloves are starting to come off

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha I know this was for @CadNav but thanks for that bud, I literally LOL'd at the very first clip. One time we had a sea training ORO who people reeaaallly didn't like. We were transiting toward Massachusetts in sea state stupid, and he got thrown from his rack onto the deck in cabin 5...

I remember we were doing a boarding in the GOO at the beginning of monsoon season. It was so rough (relative to the size of the Dhow) that the Dhow looked like a cork bobbing in a wave pool. Three of the members of the first wave had to come back due to sea sickness. I remember watching one of...

That's exactly what it is. There are 3-4 "section bases" on the ship where off watch personnel close up and standby to fight fires and floods. The first 4 get dressed in firefighting gear and will be the first ones to attack a fire if needed. They usually do drills in early morning (like 5 or...

Don't forget to mention the plethora of different measurement units they use: Ship's draft, breadth, and width: meters Ship's height and aircraft altitude: feet Water depth: meters unless you are working with Americans, then fathoms Distances: nautical miles, cables, and yards Distance for...

I didn't think I could even say this anymore, but, this is new low: https://deadline.com/2026/02/donald-trump-truth-social-ai-video-obamas-apes-1236710978/

I see you know how to Nova Scotia.

@CadNav How long were you in the infantry for? What rank/qual did you get up to?

Officer courses aren't referred to be "QL#". In fact neither are NCM courses anymore, they are referred to as "RQ" course (Rank Qualification, ie RQ-S1-SonarOP). You'll firs bring NETPO, followes by NWO Basic (the former NWO 2 and NWO 3 courses). To prepare for this, you absolutely can read the...

@Halifax Tar @Oldgateboatdriver oh yea I would never expect a Coxn to do that. I've never had a Coxn come up to bridge except to talk to the CO, nor do I think any of them would do that. I did have an experience similar to this once. We were doing a MOBEX so I went to the boat deck (diver), and...

Tell that to my IMO who, I'm not exagerating, spent about 50% of his off-watch facetiming with his girlfriend from the wardroom. Starlink is a blessing and a curse...
