    I serve in the Army for 27-year active duty and retired as a Master Sargent/E-8 with four combat tour, but I never seen something like that in my military career. Leaders at all levels bear responsibility for properly and effectively maintaining unit discipline while safeguarding the rights of all in their charge. Fairly and consistently administering discipline through Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP) proceedings has long ensured the ability to maintain good order and discipline. This Sailor in this case during this Navy mast proceeding should have more severe punishment than 3 days of "bread and water". I can't belief why this Navy Captain give him a light punishment.

    He's not that great of a man because he basically threatened Japan to trade with the USA. He showed up uninvited with guns out and forced trade. Tell the correct story. This guy was an asshole and probably provoked Japan.

    To maintain my 180 pounds average weight I ate more than anyone else aboard the frigate on which I served. I was really tight with the mess specialists, they even had me on permanent mid-rats when deployed. Nothing like an 8 by 8 fried eggs&bacon with a double order of SOS followed by a bowl of raisin bran and glass of milk with a mug of coffee to start the day. Mess specialists made my day, every day and at every command. I paid it back with interest as a mess cook, fixing the scullery as needed and keeping the CPO Quarters satisfied.

    In the early 70s the enlisted voted the old uniform out and the officer's type uniform in.But this required special lockers because that uniform required it to be hung on hangers.After millions of dollars had been spent on the new lockers they started to complain about the new uniform.Said things like they had been mistaken for milkmen when they went home on leave,etc.Now that they bought the old uniform back since the early 80s they're starting to complain about it again.I just hope the US taxpayer doesnt fall for this crap a second time.

    Thanks for your careful historical research on the origins of the funeral salute and debunking all the myths about it. As a former newspaper reporter, I have seen (though tried to avoid circulating) many flimsy “traditions” and too-perfect-to-check anecdotes cited as the origins of various customs or phrases. The topic of the last salute is near to my heart because my father, a retired LCDR and Annapolis grad, passed away 19 months ago. He loved the Navy and its traditions, and would have enjoyed your videos.

    I was Navy enlisted from 73 to 77, and we were allowed to wear Cracker Jacks, and Mrs. Nixon's 1930's gangster suit wasnt popular with the guys. I was lucky as my brother in law had also been an enlisted Navy Radioman earlier, and I got loaned his wool Cracker Jacks, which I wore proudly And returned to him after EOS. And when I left the USS Vancouver, left the business suit on the bunk compartment table for the other guys to grab for use, in distain... Navy now back to Cracker Jacks, all is well.

    3:50 Japan was closed to the Western world and to the Russians during that time, *except sometimes for a limited number of Dutch people* allowed to be present only on the artificial island of Dejima, off Nagasaki. The Japanese sought access to Western subject matter experts and Western books on subjects such as gunnery, medicine, sailing, shipbuilding, metallurgy, and navigation, but under highly controlled conditions and exclusively on Japan's terms. From 1603 to 1868, Japanese leaders mostly closed Japan to the outside world largely because they considered Christianity something of a national security threat and a sneaky vehicle for colonialism. There was some overreaction, but over time, there were examples both in Japan and abroad suggesting this viewpoint was not entirely without merit. Sometimes there were civil disturbances in Japan that involved groups of Japanese people who wanted to follow their interpretation of Christianity. During that period in Japan, some foreigners intentionally disseminated false information about other foreigners with whom they had disagreements. They claimed that those affiliated with different groups sought to create problems for Japan. These falsehoods stemmed from disputes and competition among Westerners over their schemes for financial profit, over the different denominations of Christianity, manuevering in Japan in the hope of an advantage for one Western country over another, and so on. The strictness of the ban was not always absolutely the same, and the information above is a simplification.

    Im not sure why this came up on my YT feed now, but it was a nice burst of nostalgia remembering my Navy days. I absolutely hated this cover, and thankfully only had to wear it three times in my short Navy career. I wasn't a fan of any of our headwear to be honest, but in dress blues, I would begrudgingly give the Dixie cover some respect. You had to buy a new one every damn inspection though. Edit: Just noticed your rate at the end of the video, Rah fellow devil doc!
