    Captain Bligh wouldn't have put up with this crap ...

    If this is the Navy, thank God we've got an Air Force.

    Competitors were judged in the categories of lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight and masters, for age 60 and over, according to five disciplines: mass, definition, proportion, symmetry and stage presence.


    This stuff must surely have a devastating effect on morale.

        What was it the Duke of Wellington said ? When shown a list of officers the War Department proposed to send him he replied:
        "I don't know if they frighten the enemy but by God they frighten me !"
        I note that Navy Times page has several other stories concerning sex offenses by Navy personnel.

          Reminds me of The Village People singing "In The Navy".

              Or as Admiral John Jervis said, "Promotion to the flag has happily removed from the command of ships men who at no time in their lives were fit to command so much as a rowing boat."

                Well... while we beat up the Navy... lets not forget some of the others....

                like Marine Sgt. Brandon Morgan ......

                One thing different from my time..... they are all enlisted... not draftees

                    I served in the Army 1967-1971, those types kept their mouths shut-and they didn't have important political patrons.

                      When I was a kid I knew there were some queers somewhere. They weren't in my neighborhood. I spent four years in the navy(but not shipboard). I never saw any weirdo behavior. But then, this was Texas, not San Diego. Once in a great while I see some flaky looking guy but for the most part, people act normally around here. Don't let the underworld dictate what is normal. Just because you see it on Jerry Springer that doesn't make it the norm.
                      If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.
