Sailors go through boot camp at Naval Station Great Lakes near North Chicago, but things are different due to COVID-19. The current class of recruits was sent to Great Wolf Lodge, a nearby hotel and water park, for two weeks of isolation before training. And no, they weren’t allowed to use the waterslides.
We’re thinking of those recruits — their service to country and their safety — in light of a controversy rocking the Navy: Whether Capt. Brett Crozier should be returned to his position as commanding officer of the USS Theodore Roosevelt. Naval officials have made a mess of an investigation related to a March coronavirus outbreak aboard Crozier’s aircraft carrier in the Pacific.
It’s a troubling situation. Should sailors, their families and Americans have confidence in the Navy ability’s to manage a health crisis at sea? That’s what needs to be resolved.

DOD leadership has always been very weak when it comes to caring for the troops. That's why we have people in Leavenworth that should not have been deployed. And that's why this happened. People are considered a consumable resource while on active duty.
And when we are piped over the side and stop making money for Haliburton and Raytheon? They stop taking care of us all together!
