  • Just imagine in what kind of world we could live in, if people just worked together instead of killing eachother.

    Having been a Ro/Ro engineer during the Desert Shield operation, I'm still fascinated by these tremendous endeavors. I remembered, once the ships master received the orders, the vessel discharged all the containers on the nearest port and the ship sailed empty to load war materials to the assigned port, and back for more.

    My last active-duty assignment prior to my retirement from the US Navy was Navy Cargo Handling Battalion One out of Williamsburg, VA.

    Thought provoking fact: In the early 1980’s, the US Military repainted most of their trucks and tanks from OD green to desert tan. I’m guessing they knew we were done fighting in the trees for a while and were going to fight in the deserts ‘somewhere’. Now, we’re changing many of the vehicles from desert tan to OD green again. Weird.

    The handling of logistics for the 1944 D-Day invasion was nothing short of mind boggling. Continuous improvements & adaptation to current & future situations is imperatively important. 🇺🇸👍

    There is nothing else you can do in life that gives you the experience you gain by serving in the military.

    I had never heard of the sealift command. I guess I never really thought about it. That's cool 😎!
  • @LAP1050
    Huh, I thought they just left their equipment behind after quitting a conflict.
  • I spent five years on the S S Cape Inscription plus being electrician on Jupiter moving cargo to Saudi Arabia. Seen a lot of this.
