[QUOTE="Sliderguy, post: 1713073, member: 44081"]I hope the Navy and other armed forces are using the money they are cutting in the areas most needed. My son is an Seaman on an CG cruiser in San Diego CA harbor and he tells me that they have cut certain training missions and other activities because of these so called cuts. Before my son went into the Navy, VP Biden gave him a challenge coin. Not for being in the Navy but because each time they showed up my son had two drop what he was doing or changed his schedule to come in and get certain items in order before the VP/President came to play. He worked at Andrews Air Force base since he was 15 and was a Pro Shop Attendant. He made sure the Golf Carts were in tip top working order before they went out to play. My son told me that some of the secret service was a pain in the behind. One time 1 hour before Obama was to come to play with Boehner, my son was making sure the golf carts were shiny and cleaned because it rained that morning, a SS agent had to frisk him and took him into the locker room and asked him why did he have an utility knife. DUH! My son got a little heated and said let me show you something, see the pallet full of golf boxes they are full of range balls and the plastic straps needed to come off.
