The commanding officer of the USS George Washington told his crew Thursday that the Navy will begin to move sailors off of the aircraft carrier following a string of suicides and complaints from service members about conditions aboard the ship, whose projected departure from the shipyards has been pushed back once again.

Capt. Brent Gaut announced that the ship will move 260 sailors "to an offsite barracks-type living arrangement on Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth" -- specifically, a Navy Gateway Inn and Suites -- starting Monday, according to a recording of the announcement reviewed by Military.com.
 
"We'll be able to expand that number at about 50 additional beds per week as we figure out exactly what is needed," Gaut continued.

I remember being in dry dock at Portsmouth in 77, mid winter. Living hell with power outages, poor heating, noise that would wake the dead 24/7. But we maintained pretty good morale, hunkered down and got the job done. Damn generation of sissies manning now. Have you looked at the damn rust buckets steaming into port now? Never Happen back then, just minor rust spots. What the hell is happening to my beloved Navy?

Reaping the crops from the seeds of destruction the social democrats(communists) in American government have sown?
