Commodore Snoogie Woodums, The People Commodore(TM), Maritime Marshal of the People's Navy(TM), Executor of Naval Equality and Tickling for the Common Good(TM), Keister Keel-Hauling & Redistribution(TM), Distributor of Total Nautical Nonsense(TM), and newly appointed Uber-Brew-Meister of Snobweiser(TM) has once again be of utmost service to The People(TM).

I have been of hiding under burkha because of (that is none of business and not to be part of this story) and because my burkha makes for one to invisibility I was as unseen as the sky over Europstan suffering from volcanic ashes.

I have not to know who voices were of speech, but passing by one of many out building at Gulag I was to hear over someone to say that Commodore Snoogie Woogums latest escapade service has been duly noted and that at some time in nearest future he is to be serving up award of some kind.

It is seeming that on Friday USSA Navy serivces men and womens were with no ability to log in to Faux News facilities but still possessed power to CNNNN and MSNBSC. Here is what was said:

“Access to this site has been denied in accordance with Navy policy to safeguard the security posture and/or to maintain the operational integrity of the NMCI.”

This was the message encountered on Friday by Navy corpsmen when trying to access FoxNews.com via the Navy's internet system. Other news sites during this time, including the Rushes Limbigot, were also inaccessible through the Navy Marine Corps Internet (NMCI.) MSNBC and CNN, however, did not present the same problem."

Commodore Snoogie Woogums had been working on secret system something - I am still computer challenging and not of knowing big computer wording - but his initiative had been of good working.

I am of not knowing what special accomodation be or when to be presented but want all should congratulate Commodore Snoogie Woogums for being oustanding example to All Peoples Cubists(TM) for gallant work of keeping Faux News from Navy eyes.

Just so Mrs. Al Czarweary, Snoogie would get a medal if there was any room left for one on his coat of many medals. As it is he has so many already that when he walks he tends to fall forward. Perhaps we should start pinning them on his back to even the load.

As for the blocking of FauxNews I hear tell that BuPers (that's Navy lingo for Bureau of Personnel) will soon be requiring all squids and jarheads to subscribe to the NY Times. That way they'll get their classified orders even before the Pentagon issues them through the normal chain of command.

Sweet fancy gulags! Oboma doesn't need any silly Fairness Doctrine, all he need do is speak the word and it is done ("so let it be written, so let it be done"), eh Comrades?! Congrats to Comrade Woogums for accomplishing his highly applaudable goals. A world without Faux News. A world without Limbaugh. What a world!

Comrade Snoogie Woogums,

Congratulations! Today the Navy, tomorrow the Air Force and the Army, and then we can begin the process of indoctrinating all troops to do Dear Leader's bidding. Never mind that stupid oath all military personnel take to the evil and moronic constitution written and created by racist whiteys.

Ahh, Thanks Comrades,

Seems though there were a few complaints from a few of the Sailors, that they couldn't access Faux news and they sent e-mail to them about the problem. Of course I had their addresses flagged as soon as they were sent to that horrid web-site and had em stop by for a little personal "chat".


By the way, now seems a good time to kick off our new recruitment video since all of the sudden I have some openings now that just sprung up for quite a few new recruits if anybody is interested.

Glorious News fellow travellers. The people's Navy is offically a power for the collective good. Enjoy the following release from High Command. I'm sure Commodore Snoogie Woogums is behind bringing in this war mongering tool of Bushitler and turning it into a fertile ground for social experimentation.

(prog off) This message is for real... Can't wait to see the 'green' bombs and 'non-lethal' missiles flying.

SUBJ: NAVY 2010 EARTH DAY MESSAGE//
RMKS/1. ON 22 APRIL THE NAVY AND THE NATION WILL CELEBRATE THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF EARTH DAY. OUR NAVY THEME THIS YEAR IS "PARTNERING FOR A GREENER FUTURE."

2. IN OUR ON-GOING EFFORTS AND ACTIONS TO PROMOTE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND INCREASE ENERGY SECURITY AND THE READINESS OF OUR FORCES, WE ESTABLISHED PARTNERSHIPS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF ORGANIZATIONS.
OUR PARTNERS INCLUDE THE OTHER MILITARY SERVICES, FEDERAL AND STATE AGENCIES, NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS, INDUSTRY, AND OTHERS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY EXPERTISE. THESE PARTNERSHIPS ARE IMPORTANT TO THE NAVY. WE RELY ON THEM TO ACHIEVE SHARED GOALS OF PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND PROVIDING ENERGY SECURITY FOR OUR NATION AND ALLIES.

3. THE NAVY AND OUR PARTNERS HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE FOLLOWING.

- NAVY ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM. IN MARCH, OPNAV N45 HOSTED THE FIRST NAVY ENVIRONMENTAL FORUM TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF NAVY-WIDE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS/INITIATIVES, INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING, MARINE MAMMAL RESEARCH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION EFFORTS. THESE FORUMS WILL HELP BUILD LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS WITH OUR ENVIRONMENTAL STAKEHOLDERS.

- OCEAN POLICY TASK FORCE. SINCE SUMMER 2009, THE NAVY HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE INTERAGENCY OCEAN POLICY TASK FORCE, LED BY THE WHITE HOUSE COUNCIL ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY. THE PURPOSE OF THE TASK FORCE IS TO DEVELOP NATIONAL POLICY AND A FRAMEWORK THAT ENABLES SUSTAINABLE USE OF OUR OCEANS, GREAT LAKES, AND COASTAL AREAS IN A MANNER THAT SUPPORTS OUR NATION'S ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, RECREATIONAL, AND SECURITY PRIORITIES.

- ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING AT SEA. THE NAVY HAS COMPLETED ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING, PERMITTING AND CONSULTATIONS FOR EIGHT TRAINING, TESTING, AND OPERATING AREAS AT SEA. WE WILL COMPLETE AN ADDITIONAL SIX WITHIN A YEAR. THESE EFFORTS WILL MARK THE BEGINNING OF A CONTINUOUS CYCLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING WORK AND ANNUAL RENEWALS WITH THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE. THE RENEWALS WILL BE SUPPORTED BY EXTENSIVE REPORTING AND CONSULTATION REQUIREMENTS.

- MARINE MAMMAL STRANDINGS. THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE AND THE NAVY WILL SIGN A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU) AT THE END OF APRIL TO ESTABLISH A NATIONAL FRAMEWORK WHEREBY NAVY MAY ASSIST THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE WITH RESPONSE TO AND INVESTIGATION OF MARINE MAMMAL STRANDING EVENTS DURING MAJOR TRAINING EXERCISES.

- MARINE MAMMAL RESEARCH PROGRAM. THE NAVY COLLABORATES WITH ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES IN DEVELOPING OUR ANNUAL RESEARCH FUNDING PRIORIES TO INCREASE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MARINE MAMMALS AND TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL FOR OUR ACTIVITIES TO AFFECT MARINE LIFE. THE NAVY WILL SHARE OUR MARINE MAMMAL RESEARCH PROGRAM PLAN WITH INTERESTED NON-GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS AT THE END OF APRIL. INPUT FROM THOSE GROUPS WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR FUTURE RESEARCH.
- ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION. THE NAVY CONTINUES ITS EXCELLENT PROGRESS ON ENVIRONMENTAL RESTORATION AT OUR INSTALLATIONS.
MANY PROJECTS ARE INCORPORATING LOW-IMPACT DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES TO CONTROL AND MINIMIZE RUNOFF INTO SENSITIVE COASTAL WATERWAYS.
IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, LANDFILL CAPS AND PARKING LOTS IN REMEDIATION AREAS ARE BEING DESIGNED TO ALLOW WATER TO SAFELY FILTER DOWN THROUGH THE SOIL RATHER THAN CREATING RUNOFF INTO THE CHESAPEAKE BAY.
4. EARLIER THIS YEAR, SECRETARY MABUS ANNOUNCED, HIS FIVE ENERGY GOALS THAT WILL SIGNIFICANTLY ENHANCE ENERGY SECURITY FOR OUR NAVY AND THE NATION. THE GOALS INCLUDE HAVING 50 PERCENT OF THE NAVY'S TOTAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION PRODUCED BY ALTERNATIVE SOURCES BY 2020; CHANGING THE WAY THE DEPARTMENT AWARDS CONTRACTS DURING THE ACQUISITION PROCESS TO CONSIDER THE LIFETIME ENERGY COST OF THE SYSTEM; CREATING A "GREEN STRIKE GROUP" COMPOSED OF NUCLEAR AND BIOFUEL POWERED VESSELS BY 2016; REDUCING PETROLEUM USE IN THE DEPARTMENT'S COMMERCIAL VEHICLE FLEET BY 50 PERCENT USING HYBRID FUEL AND ELECTRIC VEHICLES BY 2015; AND PRODUCING AT LEAST HALF OF ALL SHORE-BASED ENERGY REQUIREMENTS FROM RENEWABLE RESOURCES AND HALF OUR BASES BEING NET ZERO ENERGY CONSUMERS BY 2020.
WE ARE MAKING GREAT STRIDES TOWARDS ACHIEVING SECRETARY MABUS' GOALS.
EXAMPLES INCLUDE:

- GREEN HORNET. ON EARTH DAY, AN F/A-18 HORNET WILL COMPLETE A TEST FLIGHT AT NAVAL AIR STATION PATUXENT RIVER, MD USING A 50/50 BLEND OF CAMELINA-BASED FUEL AND CONVENTIONAL JP-5 JET FUEL. THE TEST FLIGHT IS A STEPPING STONE TOWARD NAVY'S GOAL OF SAILING THE GREAT GREEN FLEET BY 2016 SUPPORTED BY AIRCRAFT FLYING ON BIOFUEL.
THE NAVY IS ALSO PARTICIPATING IN RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS TO INDENTIFY OTHER BIOFUEL SOURCES WITH THE GOAL OF REDUCING OUR DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN ENERGY SOURCES AND USING A FUEL WITH A LOWER NET CARBON FOOTPRINT THAN PETROLEUM FUELS.

- ENERGY EFFICIENCY. WE ARE AGGRESSIVELY PURSUING A BROAD SPECTRUM OF EFFICIENCY INITIATIVES SUCH AS STERN FLAPS AND PROPELLER COATINGS, ADJUSTING OPERATING PROCEDURES AND REDUCING OUR OVERALL CONSUMPTION OF PETROLEUM, ENHANCING COMBAT CAPABILITY, AND REDUCING THE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT OF OUR OPERATIONS.

- USS MAKIN ISLAND. USS MAKIN ISLAND IS THE EIGHTH WASP CLASS AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIP. COMMISSIONED IN CY2009, IT IS THE FIRST NEW CONSTRUCTION PLATFORM TO BE EQUIPPED WITH A HYBRID PROPULSION PLANT THAT POWERS THE SHIP WITH ELECTRIC MOTORS AT LOW SPEEDS AND GAS TURBINE ENGINES AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE SHIP'S GAS TURBINES ARE LIGHTER AND MORE FUEL EFFICIENT THAN THE STEAM BOILERS USED TO POWER OLDER AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT SHIPS. THIS HYBRID PROPULSION APPROACH AND OTHER DESIGN EFFICIENCIES ENABLE THE SHIP TO TRAVEL FARTHER ON LESS FUEL AND WILL SAVE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FUEL COSTS OVER THE LIFE OF THE SHIP.

- SHORE ENERGY PROGRAM. THE NAVY'S COMPREHENSIVE SHORE ENERGY PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON EFFICIENCY AND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY FACILITIES AND VEHICLES. OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS, OUR ENERGY EFFICIENCY HAS INCREASED 14 PERCENT THROUGH INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION, INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY SYSTEMS, AND SUSTAINABLE DESIGN PRACTICES FOR OUR NEW FACILITIES. WE INVESTED A PORTION OF OUR AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT (ARRA) FUNDING TO DEVELOP OCEAN THERMAL ENERGY CONVERSION (OTEC) TECHNOLOGY. WE ARE WORKING WITH INDUSTRY TO DEVELOP TIDAL TURBINES IN PUGET SOUND, WA AND WAVE GENERATORS OFF THE COAST OF OREGON. A 200 MILLION DOLLAR MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACT FOR SOLAR ELECTRICAL POWER AT INSTALLATIONS ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST WILL PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY FACILITIES AND REDUCED GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS. IN MARCH, WE CUT THE RIBBON ON OUR FIRST "LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN" (LEED) SILVER CERTIFIED FACILITY AT NAVAL BASE VENTURA COUNTY. THIS BUILDING WILL USE 31 PERCENT LESS ENERGY AND 23 PERCENT LESS WATER. MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF ITS CONSTRUCTION WASTE WAS DIVERTED FROM LANDFILL DISPOSAL. ALL FUTURE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS ARE BEING DESIGNED TO MEET LEED SILVER STANDARDS FOR FUTURE ENERGY COST AVOIDANCE, GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSION REDUCTION, AND ENHANCED ENERGY SECURITY FOR THE SHORE INFRASTUCTURE.

5. ON EARTH DAY AND THE FOLLOWING MONTHS, MANY BASES AND NAVY PERSONNEL WORLDWIDE WILL HOST ACTIVITIES THAT CELEBRATE THESE AND OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT HELP TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PRESERVE OUR PLANET WHILE ALSO INCREASING OUR NATION'S ENERGY SECURITY.
I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN EARTH DAY EVENTS AND TO SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF NAVY ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMS WITH YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY ON A CONTINUAL BASIS.

6. I GREATLY APPRECIATE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP, HARD WORK, AND DRIVE TO HELP MAKE OUR NAVY A PREMIER ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENERGY LEADER/STEWARD AND TO INCREASE OUR ENERGY SECURITY.

Thanks for that info Zaphro which I'm sure you got off the "classified" section of the NYT. How refreshing to see that the Navy has new priorities. Back when I sought adventure rather than just a job the only thing we cared about was killing the enemies of America and surviving a nuclear war for 3 days so we could launch our missiles and fulfill our mission. I'm so glad our current SECNAV isn't as narrowminded as previous ones.
