Congress gives $2 billion for Navy shipbuilding plan

(EXCERPT) By DALE EISMAN, The Virginian-Pilot © September 30, 2003
Last updated: 10:31 AM

WASHINGTON -- A pro-defense, Republican-controlled Congress has given
Navy shipbuilding programs a $2 billion boost, but with the cash has
come a disquieting message: Don't expect too much more.

Even as they agreed to spend $12.2 billion on seven new ships next
year and signed off on a five-year deal for five additional
Virginia-class attack submarines, lawmakers rejected a more expensive
seven-sub package and underscored their reluctance to take on
long-term shipbuilding obligations.

A House-Senate panel also warned the Navy's civilian executives
against negotiating future contracts with sub builders Northrop
Grumman and General Dynamics without specific permission from
Congress. Northrop does submarine work at its Newport News shipyard.

The message is, ``there are only so many dollars to go around,'' Rep.
Jerry Lewis, R-Calif., chairm...

Navy searching for Rota sailor who vanished before court-martial

(EXCERPT) , By Scott Schonauer, Stars and Stripes European edition,
Wednesday, October 1, 2003

NAVAL STATION ROTA, Spain — The Navy is looking for a Rota-based
sailor who disappeared before he was scheduled to face a court-martial
hearing on drunken driving charges.

Petty Officer 2nd Class Jay G. Melevo, assigned to the naval station’s
Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Unit, was scheduled to appear at a
special court-martial on Sept. 19. But he vanished sometime before the
hearing.

Base spokesman Lt. Corey Barker said on Tuesday that the Navy is
actively trying to find the sailor but has had no luck tracking him
down.

On June 28, Melevo was over the legal limit when he got in his car in
base housing, hit another vehicle and fled the scene, security
patrolmen reported. An investigation determined that he st...

ABOARD THE ENTERPRISE -- While Cmdr. Michael White was out at sea this
month, his daughter Mackenzie took her first steps back in Virginia
Beach.

Normally, White would be home within the next few days to see
Mackenzie take some more baby steps because sailors typically return
home after their predeployment training, which ends today for the
Enterprise. But this time, the Norfolk-based carrier is headed
straight from training to the Mediterranean Sea.

Like many others on board, White had mixed feelings about the
assignment.

``There's some benefit to ripping the Band-Aid off all in one
stroke,'' said White, the carrier's strike operations officer. ``At
least, that's how I sold it to my wife.''

The Enterprise is on a ``compressed schedule'' for two reasons, said
Vice Adm. Gary Roughead, com...

Warships, war birds will star in parade kicking off Fleet Week

(EXCERPT), by James W. Crawley UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

September 30, 2003

More than three weeks of military appreciation and celebration begin
this weekend in San Diego with a parade of warships and war birds.

The Miramar Air Show and a classic car rally at North Island Naval Air
Station will highlight other weekends as the city celebrates the
seventh annual Fleet Week San Diego.

Appreciation events such as a parade, golf tournaments and races are
planned for military personnel and the public during the Fleet Week
period.

"It's important for someone to say 'thank you' to the military and
it's important for the military to know that people are thanking
them," said Ronne Froman, wh...

U.S. lawmakers say Iraq WMD intelligence deficient

Who is behind the "Terrorist Network"  in Northern Iraq, Baghdad or
Washington?

/ / According to Powell, the head of the Kurdish terrorist group is a
person by the name of Abu Musab Al Zarqawi who "fought in the Afghan
war more than a decade ago". (Colin Powell's Address to the UNSC, 5
February 2003 ). Ironically, this statement points to the complicity
of Washington rather than Baghdad. What it actually means is that
Al-Zarqawi fought in the US sponsored Afghan wars as part of a CIA led
operation. What Colin Powell's statement suggests is that their "main
suspect" Abu Musab Al Zarqawi was in all likelihood trained and
indoctrinated in a CIA sponsored training camp in Afghanistan or
Pakistan. \ \

Bush at the UN—a war criminal takes the podium
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2003/sep2003/bush-s24_prn.shtml

/ / But a growing majority of world public opinion sees US militarism
as the greatest force for chaos in the world and equates the Bush
administration's methods with out-and-out gangsterism. The US
president unleashed a war that is widely acknowledged even within US
establishment circles as unprovoked and unnecessary. By conservative
estimates at least 10,000 Iraqi civilians were slaughtered and the
number of young conscript troops who lost their lives may number tens
of thousands more. To claim he acted to ``honor the rights of man'' is
obscene. \ \

--

/ / There is no doubt that Washington's predatory economic plans for
Iraq will provoke even broader and more intense resistance to the US
occupation. Unlike the American people, the Bush administration is
more than willing to accept the resulting increase in young American
soldiers, reservists and National Guard members dying daily to secure
increased profits for the administration's corporate backers. \ \

Bush's Mental Illness
http://forums.alternet.org/guest/motet?show+-ugO8LT+-ilad+Currents+885

/ / If George wasn't driving the world down the road to extinction
with his wars, his environmentally disastrous choices and world
alienating policies--"Look at me, ma, no hands" he says while sitting
behind the wheel of our children's future--I'd think he was almost
fascinating.

Nowhere was George playing grown-up more conspicuous than his staged
re-election photo op on the USS Lincoln. When I saw him all dressed up
pretending to be a naval aviator, I kept waiting for him to pull out
his GI Joe doll with karate action, sit down and start playing: "Bring
'em on. We can take 'em. Huh, Joe? Take that--heeeyah," while making
Joe do a big karate chop as the real soldiers look on, saluting their
Commander in Chief.

A summation of George's egocentric philosophy might very well be his
words to Bob Woodward: "I am the commander, see. I do not need to
explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the
president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they need to say
something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation."
What a profoundly childlike thing to say (not to be confused with
childish). It sounds to me like a kid trying desperately, yet
transparently, to convince people he is fit for a role he secretly is
unsure he can fulfill and discuss. \ \

Great Big Love

What  can  the  demon  bush  do  now  for  Iraq, that he
couldn't  before  robbing  and  murdering  one  bro,  or
thousands for generations untolled?

Know  that we still when reviewing our history, conclude
yet  again,  the  lawless bush demon terrorists, had one
hundred   percent   access   throughout   Iraq   without
restrictions,  and  that  all  of the available evidence
concluded,  as  still  does,  that  yes  indeed,  it was
possible,  and  highly likely, that Saddam had destroyed
his  weapons  of  mass  destruction  (provided  in  part
CRIMINALLY  by  bremer's  (publicly  insured) "Kissinger
Associates"  (BNL)).   Not one child needed for criminal
plunder  to the war crimes of the  ungodly buford blount
was  required.  What can the demon bush do now for Iraq,
that  he  couldn't before robbing and murdering one bro,
or  thousands  for generations untolled?  DU discharged,
is  microscopic heavy metal MEASURED radioactive (gamma,
plutonium,   millirem),  and  toxic  times  five.   It's
soluble,  oh,  and  it's  not  soluble.   DU  will  kill
needlessly   American   bushite   soldiers   by  several
different  scientific  methods.   Simultaneously.   It's
deadly  accuracy,  has  nothing to do with opinions, and
those  that  support  silence  on  the  science  of said
weaponry, are Our greatest enemies.  It is the cowardice
of  American  service  People,  to  not work actively to
destroy  bush and rumsfeld as traitors, or to even speak
up  for  their  own families by living for freedom, that
they  continue  to  fall  unworthy  dying  as sacrificed
slaves,  to  the  bush demon being as human hating Satan
worshipers.

A  current  outdated CBC web page, alleges fictitiously,
most scientists believe DU is harmless.

I am the Lord of our world and I want attention over the
oppression of ignorance being practiced by our corporate
news  control.   The ignorantly evil who refuse to allow
US   Justice  for  living  freely,  must  be  challenged
immediately,  and  directly  with reason for.  Murdering
Humanity  as  war  crime  advocates  for  demon  bush to
further  steal our rights and good fortunes, must be met
with reaction eventually.

When buford (a blatant traitor to America and to all the
flag  represents truly) was asked why according to THEIR
heinous  estimate,  did  he commit bushite troops to the
murder  of thousands for no objective but to commit mass
murders  in  demon bush's name he puked, "We just wanted
to  let  them  know that we're here.",  by murdering our
families he did for no other reason he threatens?, still
living?   Me?   Blount you nazi fuk, you don't speak for
anyone.  I challenge blount personally on a fight to his
termination.   If  he refuses, and is still not arrested
for  war crimes like death squad franks, 9/11's bush and
rumsfeld,  bill'em  Patriot  for  Love  and country, the
flag, and Humanity.

The Massacre of Rashdiya
http://www.occupationwatch.org/article.php?id=345

/ / ``The American bombing of the district of Rashdiya began at 3 p.m.
They used cluster bombs. It
continued until 9 p.m. During these hours casualties began to be
carried to the hospital in civilian cars
and pickups because there were no ambulances in this district. We
received a great number of
casualties, all of them women and children. \ \

The 9/11 Joint Inquiry chairmen are in "conflict of interest":
Mysterious September 11 Breakfast Meeting on Capitol Hill
by Michel Chossudovsky Global Outlook
http://globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO308C.html

/ / The two Joint Inquiry chairmen Sen Bob Graham and Rep Porter Goss
were fully cognizant of the
"Pakistani ISI connection" and the role played by its former head,
General Mahmoud Ahmad.
Why then did they choose to exclude an examination of the role of the
ISI from the Joint Inquiry's 858
page Report?

...
...On the morning of September 11, the three lawmakers Bob Graham,
Porter Goss and Jon Kyl (who
were part of the Congressional delegation to Pakistan) were having
breakfast on Capitol Hill with
General Ahmad, the alleged "money-man" behind the 9-11 hijackers.
...
... Was this mysterious breakfast venue a "political lapse", an
intelligence failure or something far more
serious? How come the very same individuals (Goss and Graham) who had
developed a personal
rapport with General Ahmad, had been entrusted under the joint
committee inquiry "to reveal the truth
on 9-11." \ \

Again,  please  forward these words to every soldier you
know of,

thanks in advance,

Johnny Wizard

HTH:
WARNING to the Family and Friends of a Returning Sailor:
You will soon have your loved one home again.
He has been living in an extremely crude environment for quite some
time and will require time to adjust to his former lifestyle.
The key to help him through this difficulty is
PATIENCE.
Remain calm when he mixes his mashes potatoes with his chocolate
pudding, stirs his coffee with his finger and eats as though someone
was going to steal his food.
Bear with him when he walks out the kitchen door and throws the trash
into the backyard, yelling "Now dump all trash and garbage over the
fantail."
Do not be alarmed when he ducks his head and steps knee-high as he
walks through a door, because it's not a neurotic condition. It's just
the way he has been walking for the past 4 months.
Show no surprise when he accuses the grocer of being a thief, argues
with the sales clerk about the price of each item or tries to sell
cigarettes to the newsboy on the sly.
Most important of all:
His digestive tract will also require some adjustment.
For the first week, all vegetables must be boiled until colorless and
falling apart, after they've been sitting out in the sun for at least
a week prior to his getting home.
Eggs must be tinged with a shade of green and be runny, hamburgers
nearly raw and all other meats must be extremely well done.
Have beef for the first five or six days, calling it roast beef the
first night, braised beef the second, beef tips the third, beef stew
the fourth etc.
If milk is served, it should be at room temperature and slightly
diluted with water.
Be sure to put a tablespoonful of salt in each pot of coffee.
If he prefers to eat his meals while sitting next to the trash can,
don't be concerned. He's grown so used to the smell that it may take a
while for his normal tastes to return.
In the evenings, turn off all air-conditioning, open all windows and
let in as many bugs as possible.
Let him sleep on the floor in the laundry room with the dirty clothes
because he's so used to the smell.
For the first few nights, wake him every three and a half hours. Tell
him he's late for the night watch in the backyard. He'll understand -
he's been doing something just as stupid for the past four months.
Under NO circumstances should he be allowed to get a complete night's
sleep during the critical adjustment time.
His daily routine may seem strange to you, especially when he wakes
everyone up at six in the morning screaming "Reveille - Reveille - all
hands heave out and trice up - drop your cocks and grab your socks!"
Just smile and nod and make sure everyone is up and on the back porch
at
seven for muster, instruction and inspection.
Then in the late afternoon, humor him when he walks around the house
closing all the windows and doors and reports to you "Condition Able
set throughout the house."
After sundown, don't argue with him when he yells at you for opening
up the window blinds while "darken house" is set.
His language may seem foreign and you may not understand all the terms
he uses. It isn't necessary that you do. Just smile and be pleasant.
Some of the terms you may hear are: Turn to, Sweepers - Sweepers, All
prisoners at large report for muster, Sick call, This is a drill,
Liberty
call.
Do not be surprised when he answers the phone: "Living Room, Petty
Officer Smith speaking, this is a non-secured line subject to
monitoring, how may I help you Sir?"
NEVER make favorable references to the Navy leadership structure. To
do so will almost always illicit an extremely loud and profane
outburst which may continue for hours.
The bathroom is quite possibly the most dangerous place in the house
for your USS Whatever returnee. When he refers to it as the head,
don't be alarmed, it isn't a sexual reference. Before he arrives,
strip the bathroom of all accessories such as bathmats and any and all
toiletry items. Crack the mirror and run water on the floor. Toilet
paper is optional, but if it is furnished, it must be placed in a
puddle on the floor. Turn off the hot water at the source for the
first few days. Wait until he is in the shower, soaped up and then
turn the water off altogether for about 15 minutes.
All of these precautions are imperative, because if he walks into a
bathroom which is complete with the above mentioned items, he may
shrink into a corner and curl up into a fetal position, wide-eyed and
shaking. If this happens, there are only two proven and accepted
methods of snapping him out of it: yell "Mail Call" or "Liberty Call."
In either case, stay clear of the doorway.
In closing, always remember that beneath that suntanned shell there
beats a heart of gold, it being the only thing the Navy couldn't
confiscate or reschedule at a later date.
With kindness, patience and the occasional swift kick in the ass, your
loved one will soon return to his former self.

At-Home Training Course For Want-to-be Naval Sailors

Section I: Initial Briefing
Memorize the following and NEVER forget them!
The Five Most Dangerous Things in the Navy
A Seaman saying, "I learned this in Boot Camp..."
A Petty Officer saying, "Trust me, sir..."
A Lieutenant JG saying, "Based on my experience..."
A Commander saying, "I was just thinking..."
A Chief chuckling, "Watch this shit..."
= * = * =
Section II: Basic Training (required for all hands)
How to Learn to Adapt to Being in the Navy:
1. Lock all friends and family outside. Your only means of
communication should be with letters that your neighbors have held for
at least three weeks, discarding two of five.
2. Surround yourself with 200 people that you don't really know or
like: people who smoke cheap cigars, who snore like Ford trucks going
uphill, and who use curses for punctuation like a child uses sugar on
cereal.
3. Unplug all radios and TVs to completely cut yourself off from the
outside world. Have a neighbor bring you a Time, Newsweek or
Proceedings from five years ago to keep you abreast of current events.
4. Monitor all home appliances hourly, recording all vital information
(i.e., plugged in, lights come on when doors open ekcetra)
5. Do not flush the toilet for five days to simulate the smell of 40
people using the same commode.
6. Lock the bathroom twice a day for a four hour period.
7. Wear only military uniforms. Even though nobody cares, clean and
press one dress uniform and wear it for 20 minutes each week.
8. Cut your hair weekly, making it shorter each time, until you look
like you lost a fight with a demented sheep.
9. Work in 19-hour cycles, sleeping only four hours at a time, to
ensure your body doesn't know (or even care) if it is day or night.
10. Listen to your favorite CD 6 times a day for two weeks, then play
music that causes acute nausea until you are glad to get back to your
favorite CD.
11. Cut a twin mattress in half and then enclose three sides of your
bed. Add a roof that prevents you from sitting up (about 14 inches is
a good distance). Then place it on a platform four feet off the floor.
Place a small dead animal under the bed to simulate the smell of your
bunkmate's socks.
12. Set your alarm to go off at 10 minute intervals for the first hour
of sleep to simulate the various times the watchstanders and nightcrew
bump around and wake you up. Place your bed on a rocking table to
ensure you are tossed around the remaining three hours. Make use of a
custom clock that randomly simulates fire alarms, police sirens,
helicopter crash alarms and a new-wave rock band.
13. Have week-old fruit and vegetables delivered to your garage and
wait two weeks before eating them.
14. Prepare all meals blindfolded using all the spices you can grope
for, or none at all. Remove the blindfold and eat everything in three
minutes.
15. Periodically shut off all power at the main circuit breaker and
run around shouting "fire, fire, fire" and then restore power.
16. At least once a month, force the commode to overflow to simulate a
'black water system' oops.
17. Buy a gas mask and smear it with rancid animal fat. Scrub the
faceshield with steel wool until you can barely see out of it. Wear
this for two hours every fifth day especially when you are in the
bathroom.
18. Study the owner's manual for all household appliances. Routinely
take a random appliance apart and put it back together.
19. Remove all plants, pictures and decorations. Paint everything
gray, white or the shade of hospital smocks. You are permitted to use
baby-shit beige for "decorative highlights".
20. Buy 50 cases of toilet paper, then lock up all but two rolls.
Ensure one of these two rolls is wet all the time.
21. Smash your forehead or shins with a hammer every two days to
simulate collision injuries sustained onboard Navy ships when
traversing passages or doorways.
22. When making sandwiches, leave the bread out for six days, until it
is hard and stale.
23. Every 10 weeks, simulate a visit to another port. Go directly to
the city slums wearing your best clothes. Find the worst-looking place
you can and ask for the most expensive beer they carry. Drink as many
as you can in four hours. Take a cab home taking the longest possible
route. Tip the cabby after he charges you double because you dress
funny and don't speak right.
24. Use fresh milk for only two days after each port visit.
25. Keep the bedroom thermostat at 50F and use only a thin blanket for
warmth.
26. Ensure the water heater is connected to a device that provides
water at a flow rate that varies from a fast drip to a weak trickle,
with the temperature alternating rapidly from 40 to 95 degrees.
27. Use only spoons which hold a minimum of 1/2 cup at a time.
28. Repaint the interior of your home every month, whether it needs it
or not.

Assunto: new AF ribbon, suitable for adding to lace on skivvies
AFSec Roche has approved the AF Expeditionary Service Ribbon to
recognize members' support of air expeditionary force deployments. The
ribbon will be awarded to active-duty, Reserve and Guard members who
completed a contingency deployment after Oct 1 1999.

"Deployed status is defined as either deployment on contingency,
exercise, deployment orders or members sourced in direct support, in
theater or out, of expeditionary operations with an overnight stay
away from home station," said Tech Sgt Simmons, awards and decorations
superintendent at the AF Personnel Center. To qualify, individuals
must have deployed for 45 consecutive days or 90 nonconsecutive days.
There is no time limit to accumulate the 90 nonconsecutive days. "Any
deployment qualifies regardless of the duty, destination or location
of the temporary duty, including those within the continental United
States," Simmons said.

So, if a flyboy has to be away from Momma overnight, he gets a
ribbon...

Isn't that thweet?

Next, they will get one for shoelace-tying and one for being forced to
stay in a Motel 6 instead of the usual Hilton...

I knew the AF were "pansies" but really a ribbon because
you "had" to go TAD "overnight"?  I've seen it all now.

Actually, the first part of the quote sounds simliar to our
sea service ribbon, BUT allowing them to add up all their
TAD trips towards the ribbon is wimpish IMHO.

It's like getting the sea service ribbon without ever going to sea.

Hehe.  Go work with the VP community sometime.  My friend Doug is an AECS
and has been VP/VXE6 most of his career.  His counter is 0y0m0d, but he's
got a silver star on his sea service ribbon.  He's by no means unusual in
that community.
