Reminds me when I was extended on a patrol
 

Back in 1968 I was on a ballistic missile submarine-we were on patrol when the Scorpion was reported overdue-well we, were extended two weeks beyond our normal patrol schedule 74 days , we were extended 12 more days--this is akin to what we are experiencing with Covid now--its been 30 days--be prepared for another 30 days --till we know what's really out there--this is no drill --its for real--be prepared for the long haul-

In the end we'll be better & stronger for it !!

If we go another 30 days we’ll be drooling and we’ll be the United States of Venezuela with no economy.

Honestly, hang on--if you have the guts to believe "politicians" before the real facts hit--more power to you

What “real facts” are you alluding to?

To quote Yogi Berra, " its not over till its over" or in my words," who wants to be the last person to die from Covid"

It feels like pay-it-forward-house-arrest. I'm doing the time but didn't do crime. So, am I entitled to a free-pass for stealing toilet paper?

Spit it out already. Stop playing Mission Impossible and speak. We cannot stay home forever.

Yes it does and I’m over it

For a bunch of people who I believe never knew what it really meant to be sequestered, this is a pussy cat--inconvience i s temporary , the alternative is forever--you've never been underwater for 86 days- you haven't a clue what deprevation is--for most people here its a speed bump & I'm trying everything I can to bite my tongue

And the great majority are not military. Enjoy your glittering generalities. I’m done.

To Goldwingnut- I was on SSBN -635 G- retired thru the reserve as ICC(SS)

Am I supposed to be comparing the contribution of being in a submarine to that of a nurse going into work today knowing the enemy for sure is in the room ? I don't know how to do that. But I do know who to give the badge of courage to. Pussy cat pussy cat I love you.

All I know is the submarine force was strictly volunteer, and I believe anyone in the current medical force is strictly volunteer & all I can say is I'm with you --

Don’t bite your tongue....go ahead.

staying home longer
 

A Few more days at home is better than eternity in the box. Just grin and take it as recommended
