Lucien - Sailor U.S. Navy

I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

I read voraciously, and talk politics incessantly. I read mostly non-fiction, primarily foreign affairs and biographies. I listen to Electronic, Jazz, Metal/Hardcore, Classical/Opera, and other forms of esoteric nonsense. I hangout at Coffee shops and play chess with anyone who will play and talk with anyone who seems interesting or who I can learn from. My politics can be described as either liberal-Republican, or conservative-Democrat (I am an Independent). But I prefer Pragmatic-Realist. I one day will be able to make great strides in making the world a better place. The first I have taken is to become a Yeoman (YN) in the United States Navy. READ MY BLOG IF YOU WANT TO TRULY KNOW WHO I AM.

"When you read about what others have done, you need to learn their lessons and then internalize what you have read. They are the same as you and me. Read about what happened at Sunda Straight, Savo Island, Jutland, PRAYING MANTIS - etc - and then ask yourself if you are prepared to do the same. If you and I are on the bridge and the call comes to do what our nation asks - are we trained, qualified, manned, and have the right equipment to do the job? Even more important, are we ready, like the crew on the HMS Cambelton, ready to assume the duties of those around us who have fallen where they stood their watch? Assume their duties calmly getting every bit out of ourselves and our ships to make mission? When the ship is on fire and our uniforms are spattered with the gore of our Shipmates, will CDR and YNSN be calm, professional and execute? Has the Navy prepared us? Have we prepared ourselves?Others have - and by their example so should we. "---- CDR. Salamander
