You're good, and thank you for supporting us. I encourage you to consider serving or entering one of the government jobs - people have this misconception that the military is entirely composed of front-line combat troops, and that just isn't true. There are plenty of supporting roles, most of which never see a single day of combat or approach within a thousand miles of it. In this day and age with economic insecurity, ours are some of the most secure, if you stay in.
Why don't you come on down to Naval Submarine Base in Kings Bay, Georgia, and find out? Or go to Bangor in Washington and ask any SSBN submariner. You'll get the same answer.
Nah, I've been in a hot minute. I'm a first class petty officer now, hoping to either make Chief or commission at some point. I know loose lips sink ships - nothing I've said is classified or controlled unclassified information, and all of it can be found on Wikipedia with a cursory search, and some common sense - I'm posting on the internet, so obviously I'm not underway. Mostly, I'm just trolling the civilians who think they know anything about the strategic picture. Thanks for your concern though, shipmate. It's sincerely appreciated. Hooyah.
If they are lawful orders, in accordance with the Constitution, then in accordance with my oath and creed, I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America and I will obey the orders of those appointed over me.
Nah, my shipmates already have dozens of children, all slated to enlist or commission in the most powerful nuclear navy in the world when they are eligible. You should've seen Family Day on the pier. Our next generation of recruits are already on their way and lining up, our next strategic weapons platforms are already being built and slated for DASO in the next few years. Just earlier this year, we surfaced SSBNs in both Faslane, Scotland and Busan, South Korea, and an SSGN in Perth, Australia. Our SSNs are everywhere lurking beneath the waves, and our Seawolves are listening and stalking wherever they're needed.
So stand down, civilian. There's no stopping this war machine.
I am a member of the United States Navy SSBN force, trained to set condition 1SQ for Strategic Launch of thermonuclear warheads if and when called upon to do so without hesitation. Each missile is capable of carrying in excess of ten multiple independent reentry vehicles, and each warhead is capable of at least ten times the power of Hiroshima.
What do you do for a living?
"The only way to achieve piece is the end of Islam as a religion and its people as a culture. There can be no other way to achieve peace with the terrorists." - how you sound right now.
Option A won't work out for them if they and their buddies cease existing and the strip is radioactive glass. Same with their buddies Hezbollah. And Israel, regardless of strategic ambiguity, almost certainly has the capability to pull it off.
I'm proud of being a United States Navy submariner in the strategic nuclear fleet. I stand ready to launch when directed by a valid and authentic order is given, without hesitation. I do not fear the crushing lightness depths of the sea or the torpedoes of our adversaries. HOOYAH AMERICA. KILL THE BEAR.

Friday Oct. 6, 2023. Assault Victim 35yr old Jasmine Adams, seated inside the Offices of her Attorney, Robert Brown, talks to the News about her ordeal suffered by the hands of an employee inside the West Brighton Deli Grocery Bodega in Staten Island. Friday Oct. 6, 2023. By Rocco Parascandola | rparascandola@nydailynews.com | New York Daily News PUBLISHED: October 9, 2023 at 6:51 p.m. | UPDATED: October 9, 2023 at 7:49 p.m.
A Staten Island woman buying pot from a local deli got into a misunderstanding with the cashier — who ended up macing her, dragging her outside by her hair, kicking her in the head and mistakenly calling her trans.
The shocking caught-on-video attack has left Jasmine Adams traumatized, her distress compounded by no arrest being made.
But on Monday, she moved a step closer to possible justice when her lawyer, Robert Brown, filed a discrimination suit in Staten Island Supreme Court against the West Brighton Deli Grocery & Grill.
The suit alleges that Adams, who is bisexual, was attacked because the cashier “perceived plaintiff to be transgender.” The NYPD confirmed Adams provided the same account to police when she reported the incident.
”Even if I was a transvestite, what does that have to do with anything?” asked Adams, 35, who was wearing an Apple watch wristband adorned with pride rainbow colors when she was attacked.
“Why were you so comfortable putting your hands on me? I wasn’t being aggressive. I didn’t have any weapon. I was a customer.”
The worker has been fired, but the store, on Henderson Ave. near Campbell Ave., has not cooperated in helping to identify him, police said.
Brown said cops dropped the ball by failing to release the video to the media, as they often do when it is trying to identify and locate a suspect, and by conducting just one cursory phone interview with the victim. The Hate Crime Task Force is involved in the case, police said, but Brown noted that no investigator from that unit has contacted Adams.
Adams, a mother of two who manages a home for disabled adults, stopped at the grocery to buy marijuana for a friend around 11:30 p.m. July 28.

Weed has been legal in the city since 2021 but so far, there are currently only nine dispensaries in New York City licensed to sell marijuana. Hundreds of other shops nonetheless sell pot products.
Because she’s not a smoker, Adams had her friend on the phone as she made the $40 purchase, asking questions to make sure she was making the right choice. The clerk mistook her conversation as an attempt to haggle for a lower price.
“I said it wasn’t about the price and that I was just trying to figure out what I was buying,” Adams said. “So I paid. But he sucked his teeth and got mad and me and threw [the marijuana packet] on the floor.” Cellphone footage shows Jasmine Adams being dragged out of Staten Island bodega.

An insulted Adams opted not to pick the weed up off the floor and asked for her money back.
“He said I was trying to get him fired and that he was going to call the cops,” she recounted. “I said, ‘Call the cops! I just want my money back.’ Then I heard him call me a transvestite. I’m like, ‘Transvestite? I’m a whole female. I have lady parts.'” Cellphone footage shows Jasmine Adams being dragged out of Staten Island bodega.

The next moments were a blur.
Before she could duck, the attacker maced her in the face, she said, then ran around the counter toward her. Barely able to see, she remembered grabbing a coffee pot and swinging it at him.
She doesn’t know if she hit him, but he grabbed her by her long hair.
As she was being pulled from the store, called a “b—h” and dragged down three concrete steps, several young people were outside recording on their smartphones, some reacting in shock to the assault.
“Oh, my God!” one woman can be heard yelling in video obtained by the Daily News.
“You don’t have to do all that,” another person says.
The worker threw her to the concrete and kicked her in the head, the video shows.
“Next thing I know when I opened my eyes, I was outside next to my car on the floor,” Adams said. “I said to myself that I gotta get outta here because I don’t know if he’s going to kill me.” Jasmine Adams is pictured in Staten Island on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023.

Adams somehow drove off in her car but stopped about a block later and flagged down a couple she did not know, getting their help taking her home.

When she called 911 after getting home, cops showed up but she was told she needed to go back to the scene, which is in a different precinct from her home, and call 911 from there.
Brown, a former NYPD captain, noted police are obligated to take a report no matter where the crime occurred and that forcing crime victims to return to where they were attacked is traumatizing. The NYPD said Adams told the 911 dispatcher she would go to the scene, suggesting she voluntarily offered to do so.
Regardless, when Adams went back to the grocery and called for police from there, it took officers four hours to show up, she said. The officers, she said, appeared to know the attacker, referring to him as “Mr. Fourth of July.” Jasmine Adams is pictured in Staten Island on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023.

Adams, who was bruised and cut as she was dragged and kicked, didn’t realize video of the attack was on Facebook until she was alerted by a co-worker. She showed it to her mom, who cried but didn’t watch it herself until recently.
“I tried to suppress what happened,” Adams said. “It makes you feel vulnerable. I like to believe that I’m a strong woman. To me, I wasn’t so strong. It makes me feel weak.”
As crime victims often do, Adams has blamed herself for being out that late and for not just leaving the store after the clerk flung the marijuana to the ground. Her friends have tried to convince her she had every right to stand up for herself.
“But part of me still blames myself,” she said. Jasmine Adams and her attorney Robert Brown are pictured in Staten Island on Friday, Oct. 6, 2023.

Workers at the store told The News they remembered the incident but referred all questions to a manager, who ignored requests for comment.
Adams turned to her pillars of strength, her mother and grandmother, before deciding to file a suit.
“They said that what happened to you is not right and that you need to let everyone know that,” Adams said. “For me, it’s not about the money. Whatever my sexual preference is, it shouldn’t be questioned when I walk in the store.”
So what's the Gerald R Ford Carrier Strike Group doing in the Eastern Mediterranean?
I wouldn't know, I'm the one wearing it, civilian. How does it taste? Tell me how the asphalt tastes.
Well congratu-fucking-lations, you got the attention of big brother USA now by killing and kidnapping Americans. Hope y'all are prepared for the Gerald R Ford and her CSG, 'cause ready or not, here we come.
We kicked in the door in the middle east, trashed the place, and left, multiple times now. We won't hesitate to do it again, and this time, we might decide not to be as nice as we were the other few times. You should be careful where you post that sentiment. The CIA has eyes and ears everywhere. Sweet dreams.
I'm sitting at my current location browsing because I'm obviously not underway - I still have internet access, on a non-secure website, on a non-secure device. Hence waiting for the order to get underway. If I were already underway I wouldn't be able to browse the internet.
I sit here, waiting for the order to get underway, for the EAM to set 1SQ so I can finally fucking launch some warheads on foreheads. Is that enough for you, or did you want me to 1306 to infantry?
Ublock Origin?
One Starbucks I went to in California wouldn't, they were "fully cashless" and proud of it. I tried, they just wouldn't accept it.
I learned last week that you can set up Thunderbird with Gmail and run it almost exactly like outlook, with rules and folders and all. Cut down about 3000+ emails I'd been too lazy to delete or sort on my own to zero with a few rules and folders. 10/10, highly recommend.
Ooo, a civilian is calling me dumb and delusional, guess I better take off these crows and fish. Oh wait, your opinion doesn't matter. You keep on keepin' on, and I'll keep y'all safe and comfortable enough to speak your mind the way you do. You're welcome.
