Happy 112th Birthday, Submariners!

Here's the official Navy video for today's Submarine Birthday:

  1. Y'just gotta love the truth:

    "Astronauts Bitch Slap NASA Over Global Warming Stance"

    I may have paraphrased the title just a bit...but you get the picture.

    I do believe MCPON West is the culprit of that little annoyance.

  4. Just because you're an astronaut doesn't mean you know shit about climate study.

    But go ahead and hijack another thread with your political agenda.

    ReplyDelete
  5. ^^^If 'truth' is an agenda, then I'm certainly guilty of that, but true science has no political agenda.

    In any case, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."

  6. What are sup-marines and sup-mariners? Listen to the video.

  7. The narrator says: "Submarine forces - We are lethal, survivable and effective undersea warriors forever. This is our force, and today is our birthday!"

    Since the admirals tried, but could not find a women submariner with an April 11th birthday, viewers are left to wonder whether the narrator is one of the first women submariners. My bet is yes, she is, and her narration was also outstanding.

    ReplyDelete
  8. To each his own, I suppose. The female narrator sounded like a YNSN to me. And a non-qual at that, in any case.

    Just more PC nonsense.

    The admirals' both sporting pocket rockets (the coveted Poseidon/Polaris patrol pin) was at least as impressive.

    Question: do SSGN 'guys' wear pocket rockets as well?

    1. SSGN sailors are submarine sailors so they need not wear such trivial little pins especially the yellow ones. They are however part time sailors so I suppose they have the best of both worlds.

  9. Regarding NASA's 'global warming' expertise:

    "...nearly 50 former astronauts and scientists--including the ex-boss of the Johnson Space Center--claim the agency is on the wrong side of science and must change course or ruin the reputation of the world’s top space agency."

    Sounds like someone's been doing their homework...and some haven't.

  10. There was one young submariner that started singing "submarines once, submarines twice" song.....pity that he would be written up in present times, if he really sung it in uniform.

    ReplyDelete
  11. The narration was by an MC1(SW). If you are able to watch it to the end you can see the credits roll by. I was able to do it, even though I threw up a little bit in my mouth...hooyah!

    Just curious as to what a YNSN should sound like? Everyone was a "non-qual" at sometime in their career, but sounds like to me our commenter has forgotten where they came from, and spent all their time on Shore Duty.

  13. Thanks for the prompt, skimmer boy:

    "...here's to the skimmers, FUCK YOU!"

    Having completed the submarine song, we now return you to our regular, scheduled programming.

  14. "Pocket Rockets" is that all you think about? Try thinking about women or getting underway sometime. You just need a heavy dose of Saltpeter!

  15. Since when was the whole "Hoo ya" bullshit incorporated into our little military subculture?

    I went through dive school in the late 80s and it was in heavy rotation there by Navy and jarhead instructors. Got out in the early 90s and don't think I ever heard it on a boat.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wow! Only 7 posts before we call out that a (Gasp!) Woman narrated the piece. And only 8 till we bash her! Stupid Women thinking they are equal to us. It must be a slick ploy by BIG NAVY to brainwash us! Why don’t you show your Mom or Wife what you write about women, I bet she would be so proud.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I don't think it was "throw up" in your mouth your trying to refer to Anonymous.... But hey in today's Navy!! I think the "narrator" MC1 did a great job and Kudos to the submarine force for having the "intestinal fortitude" to select her for the honor!

    OOH RAH!

  18. Nice try, 4-Stop...but I don't see anyone bashing women, with the possible exception of calling this one a "non-qual"...which turned out to be correct.

    So sad if that hurts your feeeewings. So sad.

  22. I agree with 4 stop that there is bashing of women, but should we take the word of "Anonymous" who clearly can't see that our "non qual" does have a qual as a "SW" after her MC1! First I thought you were a sour grape insider from your quote that "they didn't select her ...it's her job" because you didn't get the opportunity to be the narrator since your statement leads others to think that there are only female MC's from the team that made the video. Now with all your "Sea Lawyer" comments it is clear your background is with the Chair Force! Aim High Anonymous

  23. Why, oh why, are skimmers so stupid?

    With the hope that there is some hope for there, here are some inspiring words for all in skimmer land to take to heart.

  26. Matthew 7:1-3

    "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.

  27. Global warming is settled science. There is no legitimate disagreement among actual scientists. People with some sort of circumstantial knowledge, or scientists that are not climatologists or mathematicians, or physicists sometimes disagree. But actual climate scientists who are experts on the climate? Very very few disagree. In fact, the consensus among actual scientists has coalesced on "yes there is global warming" there is some disagreement on the edges about the severity and some disagreement about the effects, but virtually no disagreement on whether it happens.

    Apparently, you don't have to be too smart to be an astronaut. It's not exactly news that skittle shirts are fucking stupid,

  30. . . . does have a qual as a "SW" after her MC1 . . .

    As far as most of us are concerned, that means she's STILL a non-qual.

    They came to the other side of the sea, to the territory of the Gerasenes.

    When he got out of the boat, at once a man from the tombs who had an unclean spirit met him.

    The man had been dwelling among the tombs, and no one could restrain him any longer, even with a chain.

    In fact, he had frequently been bound with shackles and chains, but the chains had been pulled apart by him and the shackles smashed, and no one was strong enough to subdue him.

    Night and day among the tombs and on the hillsides he was always crying out and bruising himself with stones.

    Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and prostrated himself before him, crying out in a loud voice, "What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me!"

    (He had been saying to him, "Unclean spirit, come out of the man!")

    He asked him, "What is your name?" He replied, "Legion is my name. There are many of us."

    And he pleaded earnestly with him not to drive them away from that territory.

    Now a large herd of swine was feeding there on the hillside.

    And they pleaded with him, "Send us into the swine. Let us enter them."

    And he let them, and the unclean spirits came out and entered the swine. The herd of about two thousand rushed down a steep bank into the sea, where they were drowned.

Then all the men of the city shall stone him
    to death with stones; so you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel shall hear, and fear."

  52. Hey Joel, while the retard rodeo is in session above?
    On the Tullibee in 85, you had to crawl down a scuttle to the Chief's Quarters in the bow compartment lower level. At eye level for anybody but a midget was a brass engraved plate that read "The Stupid Shall Be Punished" behind the ladder.
    There was no blue shirt that did not understand that term on the boat, and back then, you did not want an INVITE to the quarters if you were a blue shirt. If a Chief told you to dog the scuttle, you were in for a major @ss chewing.
    No shyt, there was no way of stopping yourself from pausing and reading that sign.
    Remember crawling down a scuttle one handed with 3 cups of coffee in your off hand? LOL.
    God bless the Submarine Force, please let them weather the latest storm.

  53. "And Hagar bore Abraham a son; and Abraham called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abraham." (Genesis 16:1-16)

  54. Hagar, ha'-gär (Hebrew)–flight; to flee one's country; fugitive; wanderer; stranger.

    Sarai's handmaid, the mother of Ishmael by Abraham (Gen. 16:1-16).

    Metaphysical meaning: The natural soul. It is a stranger to the awakened spiritual phase of the soul, in that its thoughts and emotions are sensual and are likely to be selfish and unholy, thus producing fear and uncertainty (wanderer). The sensual must give way to the spiritual; it cannot stand in the presence of the Christ truth, but flees (flight).

    “Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, so also it is now. Howbeit what saith the scripture? Cast out the handmaid and her son: for the son of the handmaid shall not inherit with the son of the freewoman. Wherefore, brethren, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the freewoman.” (Gal. 4:28-31).

    If you stop feeding the fire, it will go out. Stop showing them (the skimmer pukes, the bible thumpers, etc) any attention, and they will get bored and fuck about elsewhere.

    This is exactly what submarines are supposed to teach you; "don't react to stupidity or we will aggravate you to death".

    Happy Birthday submarines! Welcome to the 21st century. You have outlived your usefulness, and it shows.
