Either way it's full of sh*t.

That's what you get for naming a capital ship after a person, much less a living person.

That's a hell of a poop deck.

Do soldiers on that ship feel like they're betraying their country?

Working on a ship named after Dubya... yikes.

Nixon, you dolt!

Plumbers, CRP, watergate, Nixon, yadda yadda...

sure haven't: Do soldiers on that ship feel like they're betraying their country?

Working on a ship named after Dubya... yikes.

It's George H W Bush. That's Daddy-Bush, not Dubya.

No, they named it right.

Misch: Five thousand sailors unable to report for doodie.

Wrong Bush but still makes me laugh (new window)

Problem solved.

/q&d, like diarrhea

on the case

We're taking you to the U.S.S. Walter Mondale. It's a laundry ship.

Yeah, what he said.

FTA: systems used on criuse ships....I think there a one lelluva lot more toilets on a crusie ship per person than on a battle cruiser. And the story about the items being flushed. meh.

The military needs something. Quick! Let's be outraged and send money. A lot of money! They are all gods and deserve to be our next leaders based on their cowardice in their unwillingness to oppose their country's reckless wars.

When I was getting potty trained, after a successful trip to the bathroom I would yell, "Mommy! Mission Accomplished!"

Yeah, what he said.

...and why some might ask? (while blinded by the hate).

Upon hearing of the Pearl Harbor attack, while a student at Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., George Bush decided he wanted to join the Navy to become an aviator. Six months later, after graduation, he enlisted in the Navy on his 18th birthday and began preflight training at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After completing the 10-month course, he was commissioned as an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve on 9 June 1943, several days before his 19th birthday; making him the youngest naval aviator then.

Bush's aircraft was hit and his engine caught on fire. He completed his attack and released the bombs over his target scoring several damaging hits. With his engine on fire, Bush flew several miles from the island, where he and one other crew member on the TBM Avenger bailed out of the aircraft. However, the other man's chute did not open and he fell to his death. It was never determined which man bailed out with Bush. Both Delaney and White were killed in action. While Bush anxiously waited four hours in his inflated raft, several fighters circled protectively overhead until he was rescued by the lifeguard submarine, USS Finback. For this action, Bush received the Distinguished Flying Cross. During the month he remained on Finback, Bush participated in the rescue of other pilots.

A real scumbag, amiright?

their are zero soldiers on that ship.

to military members:
airforce = airmen
navy = seamen
marines = marines
army = soldiers

to civilians:
airforce, navy, marines, army = soldiers

This pisses me right off.

I hope some contractors got rich on this job and that they choke on a chicken bone soon.

Read my lips, "No working toilets!"

It was named for him because he was President, not because of his war record. Same as the USS Ronald Reagan, and the planned USS Gerald R. Ford.

We need a pic of the USS Theodoore Roosevelt chasing a bear.

If Marines are called Marines, why aren't Army men called "Armies"?
Hmmmm?

Arcturus72: As a former navy sailor, I can honestly say there were more than a few times we had to deal with "Brown Trout season"... Mainly in the berthings for the ET's, EM's and MM's, which just happen to be the most hated divisions on ship... Coincidence?

There was also the time where we lost ships service steam while in port, and our berthing temps got down to 36 degrees... I was stealing all the blankets off anyone's rack who wasn't there on duty just to stay warm at night while I had to live on the ship...

There's a few hundred reasons I got out of the navy, and these 2 are just the tip of the iceberg...

I'm curious what ship has engineers and twidgets living together? Was is a nuke? Those 3 rates can be nuclear.

I didn't serve in the glow Navy but on the Saratoga A-gang and E-Div berthed together, below the jet shop and 1 deck above R and M Division. IIRC we all shared a common head. ET's were in the thinner air.

Philip Francis Queeg: It was named for him because he was President, not because of his war record. Same as the USS Ronald Reagan, and the planned USS Gerald R. Ford.

It didn't hurt his chances though. ;)

You really are confusing the two. I've met H.W. - good guy. That's alI have to say about that.

Meanwhile, "When I was unable to relieve myself for two days, I was irate to say the least." Somebody find that guy a thesaurus. And what does a two days full bladder look like anyway?

Two what? I'm talking about George Herbert Walker Bush, who the fark you talking about?

I guess apples really do fall far from the tree.

HotIgneous Intruder: This pisses me right off.

It is unlikely that this is the contractors' fault. A system-wide problem is 99% likely to be a design flaw. It is not uncommon for the military to assign personnel to tasks, like designing a sewage system on a carrier, without any consideration of the person's skills. I've been on both sides of the problem.
