re: Extended Military Deployments Are Neither Unexpected nor Unprecedented

It’s not the deployment as much as not making port calls.

Regardless, I will remind many here that in the height of the GWOT, the U.S. Army extended several active-duty Iraq/Afghanistan tours to 15 months to sustain the surge (and didn’t notify them until they had already completed 12 mos.)

Do you remember how that turned out? People were pissed about that too.

Could the PMac hold enough? I remember the football celebration we couldn’t get in. Think west side in the football stadium?

Never heard about brawls…. But a ship with 5000 people fights are bound to happen. Is the amount of days underway being disputed? Is moral on ships as important as the work they do? Is centcom disputing moral onboard?

No should have rotations planned better. You’re blaming the sailors? Should look at the war department and admirals.

They haven’t had a port call in 200 plus days. Moral on these ships can’t be ignored. A rotation should have been planned and executed before the national news got wind.

Hell… I’d say no gymnastics national championship either. He helped DD build that program too.

My childhood spent at the old box watching his teams. I’m sure he will find a game to coach in heaven. RIP Skip.

Gave up 1 run, 2 hits. Solo home run and a bunt single throwing error. Lost 2-0. Why pitch him anymore when you can see no one is hitting Perez enough to put some runs on the board. Frustrating to watch.

I started a college fund for my daughter when she was 4. If she doesn’t go, she will have it when she turns 21. If she needs it, I don’t want money to stop her from going to the school she wants.
