Bobo sends us a Navy Times link<\/a> about some more Navy guys losing their jobs. Capt. John Heatherington and his senior NCO Master Chief Missile Technician (SS) Eric Spindle of the Naval Ordnance Test Unit in Cape Canaveral, FL were relieved because they knew that their people were taking up collections for their 2014 Submarine Birthday Ball at strip clubs. <\/p>\n

The firings stem from the command\u2019s fundraising for the 2014 Submarine Birthday Ball at Cape Canaveral, with NOTU members soliciting sponsors for a November golf tournament to raise funds for the ball, Daniels said, including local dry cleaners, restaurants and two local adult entertainment businesses.<\/p>\n

[SSP spokesman John] Daniels said Heatherington knew of the donations from the strip clubs but did not rectify the situation. The fund-raising team included active-duty, civilian and contract personnel, who are being handled administratively, Daniels added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, because when you think of sailors on land, you never think of strip clubs, do you?<\/p>\n

Speaking of running aground, Pinto Nag sends us a link to NBC News<\/a> which reports that the U.S.S. Taylor, a guided missile frigate has run aground in the Black Sea while it was on duty for the Sochi Olympics. I guess they were going to port. <\/p>\n

The ship had been operating in the Black Sea for about a week when it went in for a standard port call in Samsun, Turkey last Wednesday. The vessel’s prop was damaged in the incident \u2014 and now, nearly a week later, it remains in port as inspectors continue to assess the damage.<\/p>\n

A senior U.S. military official says that there was an oil leak from the prop but that it was quickly contained.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So they either ran aground or they are some part of a clever Joe Biden plan to establish a missile base in the Black Sea. I report, you decide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
