#3 Sailors aboard the USS Hartford had also rigged up loudspeakers so they could play MUSIC on duty, an official report found last night.

Outrager! This shit must stop nao! It's unheard of, I mean wtf? MUSIC? On a sub? Damn someones needs to be admonished severely. Got it, no smoking from nao on. That'll teach 'em.

#4 And I just about had a aneurism when I read that they didn't have their shoes on.

Back in the real world, I'm wondering why they weren't aware of the ship.

#6 That will be career ender for virtually anyone in a command position on that boat, officer or enlisted. Even if the officers are slackers, the chiefs should be maintaining discipline. That's assuming they're not court-martialed for derelection of duty.

#7 retards. I'm actually fairly laidback for a jarhead but this is beyond idiocy. Beer on the pier, do crazy shit after you break ice on the polar caps are all good to go in my book. Your navO listening to John Mayer or whatever while negotiating the straits of hormuz is Idiocracy Level stupidity.
