Not necessarily true. The Navy is populated by gays. So it is possible that they are having relations with members of other services.

I'm not sure this is supposed to be an off color joke..
but I a USN Gulf War vet of 10 years find the reference that the Navy is populated by gays very offensive. The Navy has no more or less than any other service with the "don't ask don't tell" policy.

it is funny though.... there sure is alot of sex with subordinates going on...

When I got out in 1997 (women on combat ships was brand new) there was alot of it going on too.. but man thats alot of CO's being releived for it..

Well this could just mean the Navy actually has higher standards and takes complaints more seriously than the other branches of the service. Its also war time, a lot more stress. I could see myself getting my drunk on during some downtime and chasing some skirt to blow off some steam.

lol whatever, colonel and captain are equivalent ranks depending on the service. OP should have used the correct term, but everyone knew what he was talking about...

No no, captain is an entirely separate rank from colonel. :D

Yep. The worst thing they have ever done was to put split tails ( women ) on ships. Now they are discussing putting them on Subs. God our leaders are stupid.

We had this one on the tender called " Fan Room Sally " ....

I can't believe we've gotten this far without any mention of the dreaded Rear Admiral.

That's almost like saying a submarine = battalion. After all, they're both typically commanded by an O-5 :rolleyes:

Now you're getting it.

I work with lots of military detailees. O-6's from any branch tend to come in and do the same level of work. I realize there are actual differences for what they do when not detailed to a defense agency.

OO, OO, OO!
I have an idea! Instead of making a general statement, based on some stupid bullshit, tell us how this is different from any other period of time.

For all I know, 86,000,00,000 Colonels in the Navy, lose their jobs a year.
Why is this information relevant to anything?

Likely, what is happening is that Jedi has read a headline. She now thinks that since she has read a headline, that she posses some knowledge that no one else has.

Never mind that the info is bogus/stupid as hell. She will spout it off as some sort of fact and feel superior to everyone else. It's really just a desperate cry for attention and an attempt to garner...
(I got bored here and gave up. I am sure someone else can finish for me.

I am going to go mount a booby.

Olds is spouting off nonsense because he feels threatened in some way by Jedi. He feels a need to give himself more value by somehow bringing down the value of Jedi.
