Say Hello To Today's Navy

In a recent story in the Marine Corps times there was an article about one Navy Seaman who seems to represent part of what today's U.S. Navy is all about. It concerns Yeoman 3rd class Joshua Kelly whose passion is performing in drag.

While struggling to maintain financial stability while chasing his passion of appearing in drag, our intrepid little cross dresser decided today's new Navy would be the place for him. He now has a steady income, is travelling the world, and is giving "his" shipmates some entertainment while on deployment.

"My command alone has given me the most support. I can’t thank the ‘Eagles’ (VFA-115) enough for being not only outstanding sailors and leaders, but a family who takes care of each other.” While he’s not sure exactly what the future holds, Kelley anticipates that he’ll head to the East Coast once his tour in Japan is up. There, he expects to reenlist for at least another three years to finish what he started as a sailor, he said. (Oh isn't that just peachy keen!)

This is disgusting and to my Navy veteran comrades my condolences as to what the Navy has become. My father, a proud WW2 Navy veteran is now officially spinning in his grave.

 

I just did, and I am not sure. Here's the Yeoman 3rd class insignia and I think this is what is on his uniform. See the line under the bird? They are somewhat close that is for sure. Hey, if he is wearing the officer insignia, maybe that's part of his drag routine? Any way you stack it, this is a sad commentary on the U.S. Navy. I hope the Chinese Navy isn't too good, because if we go to war with them the people pictured in the top picture do not inspire any confidence in me that we will win - just look closely at some of those folks.

 

I went back to my pictures section in the computer and enlarged the photo. The bottom part of the insignia can't be made out even in the enlargement - the color of the uniform and the bottom part of the insignia are blending in too closely. I can't imagine though that an enlisted "man" would put on an officer insignia and then be photographed, that is asking for trouble. All I can say about this picture is that the way "he" places his hands mid-thigh speaks volumes. Also notice the way "his" knees knock together - it's like "he" has a skirt on.

 

There is quite a difference in the long standing tradition of seamen who cross the equator dressing up and the Navy actively recruiting crossdressers, homosexuals and other sexual deviants. All of the stuff happening today is taking place nowhere near the equator. All I can say is good luck to the Navy the next time the shooting starts, they are going to need it with the bunch they now have in it's ranks. Somehow I have a vision of some of these folks running around hysterically while under attack and if the order is ever given to abandon ship refusing to leave until they are allowed to return to their living area in order to retrieve their favorite red pumps. Good heavens!
