Congratulations to Admiral Lisa Franchetti

[BOSSHOG]

The Navy’s first female Chief of Naval Operations. Promotion well deserved by an American hero and professional amongst a field of many. Admiral Franchetti Will be leading almost 450 thousand active and reserve personnel serving around the world. Congratultations shipmate.

Meanwhile

Our attention is directed towards another mediocre bent shit can hero of the party of bent shit cans as he tries to lie his way out of more shit.

And a hearty fuck you Tommy Tuberville. You couldn’t carry Admiral Franchetti’s jockstrap. You couldn’t wear it.

1. Congratulations, CNO Franchetti.

2. As Ex-Navy, Agreed Well Done Shipmate!

Anchors away!

7. Just an addendum, but there is no ex Navy, once a squid, always a squid.

Just kidding Navy, you guys and gals were the best in getting us Marines to where we needed to go and then supporting us.

15. Well while that is true

Those days were a long time ago. However, I just had a dream the other day that I was having a hard time reporting for duty having been called back.

I get those dreams every so often and it scares the shit out of me… Because in the dream I am no younger than I am right now!

3. Did he let this promotion pass through?

If so, why this particular one....

[BOSSHOG]

6. No he didnt

The powers that be at DOD had to take action to keep our military running. She’s got the title but cannot make any appointments herself. All because a peckerwood wants to force 12 year olds to have their rapists babies. The party of responsibility indeed.

4. From a retired Marine,

Congrats. Adm. Franchetti, I would follow you into the bowels of hell knowing that you would bring me back safely.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Semper Fi teammate (from your neighborhood squid)

One of the finest officers I worked for was a Marine LCOL, Ross Plasterer. We were in an aviation training squadron in the early 70s. He retired a LGEN. He worked my ass off and took care of me at the same time. Leadership personified.

5. I couldn't agree more

8. My son is in Seabee training right now.

I have great hopes for her.

And a repeated FUCK YOU to Traitor Tubby.

10. Traitor Tommy Foiled?

Looks like Putin will have to remove one of his medals.


Congrats to USN.
From a former Coastie.

[BOSSHOG]

11. Not quite

But the sane professionals running DOD had to take action to, for lack of a better explanation, keep us safe. She hasn’t been confirmed nor can she make appointments but DOD put her to work. Thank Goodness. Loved you Coasties. Y’all had the best chow hall on Poland Avenue in New Orleans on the industrial canal. Seafood buffet every Friday. Les e les bon ton rouler. But Hurricane Katrina ended that happy arrangement.

12. I was never prouder of the CG than Katrina.

Not a nanosecond of hesitation.
No fear when duty calls.

[BOSSHOG]

13. USCG always prepared

I’m pretty sure they still have a presence at Joint Base Belle Chase, about 30 miles south of NOLA on the coast.

14. She's "acting" CNO as of right now.

Only due to the fact she has been vice CNO for the past year.
