The base commander in Montauk was recently relieved of his command for doing that. There was a picture in the paper caught at just the right moment for dramatic effect and the brass saw it. Apparently his certification for weather like that was not current. And to think, my old man and a buddy used to take a 36ft motor lifeboat and a case of beer out on the snottiest nights they could find and try to roll it over in the surf. The services are becoming just like the rest of the government. All bureaucrats, no balls. |

Don't cheifs command the life boats? EDIT: Answered my own question: "Chief Petty Officer James Weber, a 21-year-veteran of the Coast Guard and a popular figure in the Montauk community, will lose his position..." www.newsday.com/long-island/suffolk/coast-guard-relieves-montauk-station-commander-1.1544126link. The military ain't what it used to be...I can assure you that. A senior officer can't even say "What the FUCK are you thinking" to a jr officer without getting written up or relieved. |
