When you interview for the Blues you open your whole life up to the Navy. I know people in interviewed for the team and because their home life was a total train wreck they did not get the spot. It is a real honor to be chosen for the blues, which goes for both Officer and Enlisted.

The law is the law, Situational Ethics is a bunch of cr*p and is much worse when it is applies to the military. Applying it to the Military would cause a cancerous effect that would undermine the chain of command and cost lives when it comes to a combat or training situations. It also greatly effects moral in a unit and bad things start happening when moral is in the toilet. Do the Crime, Pay the Fine! Just because a President can get away with such things doesn’t give anyone a “do whatever you want” card.

I have to say I give the Navy a huge thumb up for this action, sometimes it is tough to do the right thing and it appears they did the right thing (from what little facts are in the CNN bit).

The Commander-in-Chief can play hide the sausage or whatever with a Govt employee in a Navy blue dress and keep his job and some much lower Navy type looses his job for playing with a Navy blue dress!!!! :roll:

So you're saying the only diffenence between Ike or Clinton is that Clinton was a draft dodger. They had similar sexual problems. I wonder what problems we'll have with B.O. (other than spreading the wealth)? Sorry, back on the subject..
