<p>Go Navy 2011:</p>
<p>“Based on what I know about the military and the Internet, a public forum is a poor choice to air grievances, especially if you are going to practically identify your midshipman - as some posters recently have.”</p>
<p>Dang, was that directed at me? I was wondering what the possible ramifications would be. Maybe my son would be embarrassed (I think he’s past that, I’ve done it regularly for such a long time, being a mom and all.) Perhaps his Senior Chief would get on him? Really? I know Senior Chief’s are tough, but man, to get on someone for what their mommmy said? Darn. </p>
<p>But I think I’ll take comfort in what Capt. Barbara Craig (Ret.) said on the parents’ list. It would be inappropriate for USNA to punish a mid for what his or her mommy says. </p>
<p>Which is not to say that it is appropriate to denigrate USNA, but I don’t believe that is the intention of anyone here. And, BTW, as I heard many wives say during my husband’s tenure in the Navy, I am not in the Navy. </p>
<p>I just believe that PPPPPP. Or, to clean it up a bit, Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. And that applies to the King Hall/mando meals situation which is the only part of this that I have commented on (aside from the lack of editing on the part of whoever typed the letter from the 'Dant).</p>
<p>Oh, and where else can we air our grievances, real or imagined? 
At least here we can vent. I say an internet forum is better than calling the Supe’s office…or the Baltimore Sun! :)</p>
