After all how can you chose a commander and chief if you do not
have a
clue what it's all about.

Bwahahahaha! Jeeze stop, my poor old busted up ribs hurt. An AD??
Can you
say REMF?

To hard to pronounce..

And without AD's the rest of the fleet would just fall apart.

I was on a Sprunce class destroyer the David R Ray until I went to
ABC
school and the Navy needed my skills more on a AD.
