Other Places You Can Read Me- From 14 December 2009 on, I will be blogging at Watcher of Worldlings, Information Dissemination and the USNI Blog
- This Sailor's Creed
I am a United States Sailor, and a Warrior first. I fight under the Red, White and Blue of my Fathers and descend from the line of Jones, Decatur and Perry. In my ears rings "I have not yet begun to fight" and "Don't give up the ship", and in my veins flows Fire and Gunpowder.
I will master my profession and demand that my fellow Sailors master theirs. I will follow when led, and lead when able. I will place nothing above the welfare of my fellow Sailors, save my Mission, and no matter what my ship, squadron, station or watch, I will help deliver Defeat to the Enemy.
With Honor in my deeds, Courage in my heart, and Commitment in my hands, I will do my duty until Victory is in hand and Liberty is secure.
- The Sea
The Sea is a choosy mistress. She takes the men that come to her and weighs them and measures them. The ones she adores, she keeps; the ones she hates, she destroys. The rest she casts back to land.
I count myself among the adored, for I am Her willing Captive.
- Praise for the Yankee Sailor
Doing the tough work that most journalists shun.
- American ThinkerImpressive and thorough.
- Protein WisdomThis is the stuff of intelligence, not usual fodder for casual political bloggers.

- About Me
Location: The Deep Blue
Bio: I'm a Surface Warfare Officer, which means I am trained to operate ships and employ them in battle. I've spent 22 years in uniform and been deployed six times for five different conflicts, including both Iraq wars. I also have a master's degree in Middle East security affairs, and have written for Proceedings, Armed Forces Journal, Military.com and Navy Times.

Modern Day slavery
This is disgusting news. One would hope those responsible will spend a long-time in but this is South Korea where the justice system is more messed up than in the US. Where else does someone get less than 10 years for killing over 500 people?
