Navy Master Chief Interviews

A young Navy Officer was in a bad car accident, but due to the heroics of the hospital staff the only permanent injury was the loss of one ear. Since he wasn't physically impaired he remained in the military and eventually became an Admiral. During his career he was always sensitive about his appearance.



One day the Admiral was interviewing three Master Chiefs for the Command Master Chief position. The first Master Chief was an Aviation Navy type and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview  the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?" The Master Chief answered, "Why yes. I couldn't help but notice you  are missing your starboard ear, so I need to know whether this impacts  your hearing on that side." The Admiral got very angry at this lack of  tact and threw him out of his office.
 
 The next candidate, a Submarine Service Master Chief, when asked this same question, answered, "Well yes, you seem to be short one ear." The Admiral threw him out also.
 
The third interview was with an Surface Master Chief. He was articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the other  two Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral wanted this guy, but went ahead with the same question, "Do you notice anything different about  me?"

To his surprise the Surface Master Chief said, "Yes. You wear contact  lenses."

The Admiral was impressed and thought to himself, what an incredibly tactful Master Chief. "And how do you know that?" the Admiral asked.  The Surface Master Chief replied, "Well it's pretty hard to wear glasses with only one fucking ear."

USS New York - Poised to Take Death to bin laden and assorted murdering muslim terrorist islamist

With a year to go before it even touches the water, the Navy's amphibious assault ship USS New York has already made history. It was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the World Trade Center.

USS New York is about 45 percent complete and should be ready for launch in mid-2007. Katrina disrupted construction when it pounded the Gulf Coast last summer, but the 684-foot vessel escaped serious damage, and workers were back at the yard near New Orleans two weeks after the storm.

It is the fifth in a new class of warship - designed for missions that include special operations against terrorists. It will carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 combat-ready Marines to be delivered ashore by helicopters and assault craft.

"It would be fitting if the first mission this ship would go on is to make sure that bin Laden is taken out, his terrorist organization is taken out," said Glenn Clement, a paint foreman. "He came in through the back door and knocked our towers down and (the New York) is coming right through the front door, and we want them to know that."
