    Amazing. :roll:

    Wonder if the trekkies will add this to their history of the ships named ENTERPRISE?

    I can't believe this guy did this and thought it would never come back to haunt him.

    Yeah, some of the crew are defending him over it too. No one says the captain has to be a tyrant but he's not supposed to be 'one of the guys' either. It's supposed to be more Picard keeping to himself and much less Kirk chasing tail as far as I'm concerned.

    Well, if you do want to be one-of-the-troops, don't video yourself.

    He doesn't seem to be a very bright bulb does he?

    Yea, and from I can gather, being the captain of a USN carrier is usually grooming for a top spot, admiral etc. Silly chap.

    Well thankfully he's gone and that means no one on his watch will end up getting killed while he's busy jerkin' it in his cabin to a 'Girls Gone Wild' DVD. The next question is how he managed to get so far ahead in the ranks if he's such a shortsighted goof-off.

    Note that he made these videos when he was XO. He got promoted after making them. So command should be looking at themselves and their stupidity, not just him. I guess it was no problem when it wasn't a media story. Exactly like the police force - only act if a cop's misbehavior is found out (like say the guy who pushed that woman down), otherwise no problem.

    I love the smell of hypocrisy in the morning.

    Let he who is without sin cast the first stone andy.

    Reduced to quoting scripture? Your masters have taught you the art of evading the issue well. And just above I see you casting your own stones. Guess you have no sin.

    Not really. By US law, the command of an aircraft carrier is reserved for a naval aviator. Typically, CAG (Commander Air Group) is the stepping stone to commanding a carrier. But command of a carrier is no guarantee of a bump to Butt Admiral because a carrier captain is typically a fighter jock and fighter jocks tend to do things like this.

    You can always take the person out of the frat party but you can't always take the frat party out of the person. You'd think after Tailhook they would have paid more attention to keep this sort of thing from happening again (even if this new embarassment is far less disgusting than what happened at Tailhook).
