He described the lot of the crew on X as “moldy showers, broken toilets, laundry down for weeks, long stretches with no hot water, a meal that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas. No soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.”
Sounds like an ICE detention center, almost.
Can't speak for the conditions of an ICE center, but I can confirm this is standard treatment for a carrier.
And carriers get it good too, theyre much more supplied and maintained than the small boys in the surrounding defensive fleet. After all, thats where any visiting admiral stays.
I remember weeks of dried up old sausages (rat turds) for meals. My LPO was salty af guy, brought his own rice cooker aboard for our shop. Very illegal. But we turned those shitty sausages into something decent with some rice and curry mixes. Other times youre eating unfrotsted cinnamon pop tarts every day. Surviving on sugar carb pastries and spearmint skoal.
Throw in all the other problems, broken heads, dirty clothes...
oh, and youre working ~10-14 hour days, 7 days a week. When they say they haven't hit a shore leave in 250 days, they mean they've been working for 250 days straight, 12 hours a day, no days off. There's no weekends when youre deployed.
small boys usually get to hit port more often. my six month deployment on an aircraft carrier got 4 of which i got 2 days each limited liberty. the very water poisoned us at one point. and they never let me sleep
Wow. What makes that necessary / what is everyone working on?
Providing troops with humane living standards is apparently "fraud, waste, and abuse" in this administration's eyes
The official said that the health and wellbeing of every Lincoln sailor was a priority: “Based on information available to the command, we have not identified an increase in reported suicidal ideation or suicide attempts aboard the ship.”
Lol, the Navy just said that this amount of suicides is a normal occurrence for them
this is uh, bad. If you cant feed your soldiers, they cant & wont be fighting for you. I hate that shit is this bad for them.
Moldy showers? Can't they just clean them?
Like, what else do they have to do all day besides play cards and suck cock?
If you are still on this ship after US army killed 150 kids first day of iran war you are scum, you are the terrorist.
Annabelle Loma told the outlet that her husband had tried to jump overboard after his spell at sea kept being extended.
Annabelle, honey, you just gotta be more supportive.
Tell him it's OK for him to get his dick sucked by another dude.
The responsible soldiers. Hopefully they can resign and move on from this stupid war.
Sailors, not soldiers.
Must have been a resurrected steak and lobster that scared them off.
That's just a typical Navy deployment... 🤷♂️
They should all literally kill themselves
