To start my response here's a quote from a female Sailor who served with Capt. Honors in Enterprise from Yahoo News...
"He was a caring professional and, yes, he has a sense of humor, but you need that on a boat," said Misty Davis, who served on the Enterprise from 2006 to 2010. The offending video was shown in 2007, and was a compilation of previous videos he had shown, she and others said.
"It's no worse than anything you'd see on `Saturday Night Live' or `The Family Guy,'" Davis said Monday. "I used to watch all of them. They were freaking hilarious."
I watched the video, wasn't at all offended and all I can think is how awesome it must be to work for an XO or Skipper like Capt. Honors. I have to agree with A4's, you guys have to take a stand, this is FUBAR! I still remember what it was like being a young Airman. I worked for and with O's and E's who were wound up too tight and thought their shit didn't stink for a number of reasons. But I also worked for guys like Capt. Honors, guys who cared about me, cared about the troops. Those were the guys; my LPO's, my Gunner, six of the pilots and RIO's in my squadron (that I can think of) who treated us as team member's, not just as AO3 or some enlisted guy. There were JO's and Senior O's that would joke around with us and others that wouldn't give us the time of day. Those guys that treated us like we were apart of the team, those were the guys I would've done anything for. My level of attention to detail went above and beyond for guys like Lt. Richardson or Lt. Riales.
It's tough living on the boat; 6 months on the boat ain't 6 months on shore. O's and E's need a morale boost once and awhile, if life becomes too PC you start hating life. I'd be curious to know how retention was while Capt. Honors was aboard, I bet it was high. The libs hate the military as far as I'm concearned and every chance they get they hammer away at it, this is a perfect example.
When will senior leadership start saying, this isn't the private sector. I'm sorry you're offended but that's too damn bad! You guys are asked to do some crazy shit, stuff people in the private sector can't even begin to fathom. Yet along comes Capt. Honors, a former F-14 and Super Hornet driver, XO and Skipper of a f'n carrier and because someone thinks his videos were offensive the Navy yet again has to change and the Capt.'s career is potentially over? That's not right. As a cop I deal with the PC shit A LOT! That, like you guys is how we deal with stress, by laughing at it, laughing at ourselves, laughing at the idots we deal with. Every dead person call I go to they always have to be naked, it's gross. It's also sad that someone passed away, someone's father or mother died. A drunk guy gets hit by a train and is killed, again someone's father dies. How do we as copers deal with it, we joke and laugh about it. Is it cruel? Yea. But that's how we deal with it. That's something the PC police don't understand.
