Well, what you wouldn't see: The USS Melvin...Originally Posted by Mel MakiIf Rod and his friends were running the Navy there would be no stopping this great nation!

Well, he knew it two or more weeks ago when those sailors were being airlifted off the carrier and when the Navy made its announcement about on the 26th. He didn't have any problems with that, now did he?...Originally Posted by Mel MakiMy first reaction is to think the number one man in the Navy knows more about this than you.

One of my points is that this was already public. CNN had footage of sailors being airlifted off the carrier more than two weeks ago along with the story about it. The same essential information in the captain's letter was already out there for awhile...Originally Posted by Brian McFarland
He never should have gone public about this. It's an internal Navy issue. The minute I saw this on the news I knew he was toast. I couldn't believe it! You have to remember, these ships are considered strategic national assets - they don't turn command of them over to just anyone. One little breach of trust (like going public with a problem and/or ignoring the chain of command) and you lose that trust, and therefore the command. I've been working for the DoD (mostly Navy) for about 35 years and I can't count the number of times I've seen this sort of thing.

I hope your son will be ok; I would think they're taking every precaution to minimize the potential for an outbreak.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Yikes! Don't tell my wife. Our son is deployed on the USS Eisenhower right now. He's an officer, so has better quarters than many, but still, it's tight on those ships.

No Mel, it's decided by how many people you CC in a letter...Originally Posted by Mel Maki
It isn't a popularity contest. Run the ship by vote?

Since you're the stickler for the rules, we'll have you quote the number from from the Navy rules and regulations manual...Originally Posted by Mel MakiSo 18 would have been ok?
