isn't the sea usually involved *at some point* when it comes to the Navy?

I wanted to see the extended Meet the Press interview with Adm. Mike Mullen (military/press tension is supposed to be addressed), so I clicked through the links on the website instead of listening to the segment that included Bloomberg's bullshit about continuing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. The video wasn't up yet (it is now), but the site led me to the JCS bio for Mullen.

His rise in the Navy started at sea.


Really, Navy/JCS PR people? Someone on your staff actually wrote and posted that line, seriously?

Wow. Just, wow.

Um, Navy boot camp is in Illinois or Indiana, and A-school & C-school are in San Antonio. Maybe there is another Navy training facility actually located on one of the coasts?

Or maybe he started proving himself as someone who was gonna rise through the ranks of the Navy while he was actually at sea?

Idek, I'm trying to figure out a way to interpret that, but I'm having a hard time.

His rise in the Navy started under ground.



I'm sure they just needed some sort of sentence, and that one worked.
