CNO Adm Zumwalt allowed beards and other facial hair but it was supposed to be trimmed and of neat appearance, LtJG Mabus certainly did not meet the intent of the Z-Gram (Z 70) by Adm Zumwalt. And now we find he makes the decisions that should reflect great things about the Navy, Her men and her ships. To honor a Navy ship with the name Cesar Chavez is a dishonor to our Navy and our country, Cesar C. said that the two years he served in the Navy were the worst two years of his life. He may have been a hero to the agricultural worker of the fields of California, but he was not worthy of being mentioned anywhere with the exception of the (heroes of socialist movements).<br /><br />Very Respectfully,<br />Nvyman834Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-24857678321948058092011-05-20T07:42:08.303-04:002011-05-20T07:42:08.303-04:00Poor, poor, Cesar.

He joined the Navy with an 8th grade education and the Navy discriminated against him as a Seaman by only allowing him to work as a deckhand or painter. In the Navy, he quickly learned that he would not learn anything that would help him in civilian life and he had no hopes of advancing in the Navy.<br /><br />From "Cesar Chavez: Crusader for Social Change" <br />By: Brenda HaugenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-57755545463171675472011-05-20T07:30:09.231-04:002011-05-20T07:30:09.231-04:00I like the picture of LT Mabus.

I remember that day in January 1985 when we said goodbye to those beards (the Coast Guard followed shortly after). <br />CTTCM Robert "Buldge" Jordan walked into work with the remnants of his beard in a jar. The jar had this on it: "They said I couldn't wear it, not that I couldn't keep it."<br />CWO4 Brian AshpoleCWO4 Brian Ashpole, USN-Retirednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-33966626026794192202011-05-19T10:59:19.765-04:002011-05-19T10:59:19.765-04:00Is it just me or does Mabus seem to be the unsavor...Is it just me or does Mabus seem to be the unsavory Sailor in these photos?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758747359382999584.post-14320513479912565412011-05-19T10:58:10.266-04:002011-05-19T10:58:10.266-04:00GQ

By my read of NAVPERS 15555D, burial-at-sea from a U.S. warship is an honor rendered only to a limited eligible few that does not include terrorist mass murderers (Muslim or otherwise) who are sworn enemies of the United States of America.
