All Hands.....Must Read Insider info [View All]

Hello all,

This Friday we had an all hands meeting in our spaces. There our CO was babbling on about something going on with our current operation in Iraqi Freedom (I have to spare details due to security). Anyway, he went into a different realm of things explaining "things will be getting bumpy soon".I found myself wondering what he meant, and Today, sadly I found out. On my desk when I got in from Lunch was a template to fill out a will.

I was dumbfounded...a 19 year old with just a tv and a computer in his room having to fill out a will? I immediately started questioning my chain. This is the answer I recieved:

" The United States Navy is downsizing to the point, to where at any time we might have to send you to a ship." I reply "XO, I have friends on boats, and they didn't have to fill out a will" XO Replies "CNO(Chief of Naval Operations)Mandatory...read the fine print, Petty Officer." I reply "Thanks a lot ma'am".

Ok, let me get this straight. They are making me fill out a will because the Navy is downsizing, and due to programs such as Blue to Green, the Navy is getting smaller and smaller, but the Army and Marine Corps are getting larger and larger. I am thoroughly convinced that they will be whipping every man in the current military into combat-readiness for another conflict. This implies only one thing...War with Iran, and it will be fought with every current resource we have, thus inducing the draft.

Just something to munch on
