SWO O-4 on CNN this morning.

[Recovering LSO]

Don't be this guy.... If anyone knows this guy, tell him he's an assclown.

Whenever you get in front of a camera in uniform, you are speaking on behalf of the Navy - whether you intend to or not - and that's not most of our jobs.

 

[Brett327]

I don't understand the impulse that some people have to get in front of a camera crew. The best you're going to do on a good day is break even. This guy fell short of that mark.

 

[707guy]

Leave the bombs to EOD, leave the press to PAOs...

 

[exNavyOffRec]

Looks like he is former enlisted on subs? That and staying at a Holiday Inn Express should make him as good as a PAO right?

 

[Recovering LSO]

Guessing Midi sub cruise. No Good Conduct Ribbon.

 

[SynixMan]

Ha. We thought the same thing when it came on today.

 

[CommodoreMid]

Ironing your khakis is also good technique.

I'm not buying it. No way he stepped in front of a major network camera without some kind of authorization. ...unless his retirement lunch was scheduled for today.
(fingers crossed)

Don't underestimate the power of stupid, especially when it comes to hinges.

Sure looked and sounded like it when I saw it yesterday morning.

It's been a while since I've been to the Navy Yard other that to visit the museum, but the Naval personnel were in supervisory positions overseeing DoD civilians and contractors. Seemed like the civilian culture was dominant. Not an excuse, just an explanation.

The second most dangerous phrase in the Navy . . . an O-4 saying "I was just thinking."

Is that right behind a Chief saying "watch this shit"
