Slow news day.

[The Dad Fisherman]

They've been coed for decades...not just now.

Somewhere in my house I got pictures of my Division officer, as well as a few of the other Div-O's, from when I was in....dressed in Drag holding up a sign calling himself the O'Bannon Whore...then they proceeded to have a "Drag" race around the decks as we laughed our Asses off.

Guy was a warrant officer who had 27 years at sea under his belt....I still had plenty of respect for him after he did that, as well as most of the other guys on the ship.

Its called lightening up for a few....there is a lot of tension on a ship. Take a look at your bureau when you go home...now picture sleeping on it.....for 3 and a 1/2 to 5 years, because that about all the personal space you get.........oh yeah, stack that same bureau 3 high and put 75 of them in your house. Don't forget that probably 10% of them probably annoy the #^&#^&#^&#^& out of you on a daily basis too.

You don't think they need to lighten up a bit w/ a little craziness....it harmless fun.

In some ways I'm surprised this guy went to the lengths of "comedy" that he did - certainly in this day and age. But it was pretty funny overall. BUT (here is the spencism part) by all reports he took a ship with a miserable morale and a lot of problems and made the vast majority of them blow off steam and reverse the poor morale. Not an easy thing to do I'm told.

As for the video, it was pretty funny. It was also a compilation of the most offensive and risque many previous videos. Go take a couple years of the most offensive clips from South Park and see what people think. Certainly the old foggies that have never seen it.

There are a lot of things we don't understand as civilians. We won't see the messages, humorously or crassly delivered in that video, that people in the Navy will have seen. And oddly enough, there were a few.

Its all moot now. Capt Honors has been sacrificed. I have a feeling he will land on his feet somewhere. Wouldn't be surprised if he as the first Navy Capt (retired) to host SNL, that would be sumptin.
