Good Morning All,I would like to hear some opinions on the Navy Sub colliding with the Japanese,fishing vessel.Here is mine.I think that the US is so busy trying to put blame on some one, that they have missed, what has really happened here.Major Question???? How the "HELL", did they not see this ship on radar???? Answer,A CLOAKING device that made it invisible to Radar.If this "SHIP" did not contain something other than fishermen,"WHY???" would the Japanese want it raised.The dead are dead.Many have been lost at sea.I can only hope someone in Government would also ask this QUESTION!! Understand this, this is only an opinion,"MINE" SeeYA "WHITFIELD"

A second Question,On TV this morning they release statements that the sub was spotted on Sonar not Radar,one hour,prior to the collision,the seem to me,to be trying to blame the man that failed to plot the ships course.My Ouestion is if it was on sonar 1hr.earlier,why wasn't it on sonar before,before impact???? "WHITFIELD"

Home with the flu, sorry to hear about Wayne, a good man, and yes he always did get the job done, I had cut the end of my thumb off and it had been about a week when I ran into Wayne, he said Doug let mw take a look at it, well I stuck out my thumb and he grabs it and rips the scab off, well I had cut threw a vien so when he ripped the scab off blood started squirting everywhere, I chased him around that motel room with that thumb, got blood all over that hawian shirt of his,all he did was laugh, Wayne hired me with ASI, my brother brought me over to his house, we walked out to that pole by his trash cans , he threw me a pair of hooks and said "climb", simple as that, I'm sorry to hear of his passing, they don't make em like that anymore, at least theres someone up there to keep Ricky in line, I can just see those two togeather again.

Hey Doug, I see you are alive and kicking. How are you liking life after W.M.C.? I spliced for you some last summer then you left for greener pastures. Heard from John Bell this winter, we went skiing up at Squaw. Me I am out of cable for a good while. I'm going to have some pretty major surgery on my chest. Doctor said I had better quit climbing poles for awhile lest I kill myself. Don't want to end up like, Wayne! Going just about crazy waiting to get into the operating room. Anyway thanks for the instuction last summer, it made me a better splicer.

ROGER, HEY MAN! I SEE THE TALK ABOUT DOOLE YOU NOW HOW HE DOES. NO NEED TO TAKE UP FOR HIM ROGER. HE IS BURNNING HIS OWN BRIDGES. YES IT IS DAVID DOOLE. I WORKED FOR DOOLE MY SELF. I DID SEE THIS FIRST HAND. I FOUND THAT IN ORDER TO GET THE GRAVY,YOU REALLY HAD TO BE REALLY CLOSE TO DAVID,PERSONALLY! HOW DO YOU GET CLOSE TO DOOLE? ASK ROGER. HELL HE LIVED WITH DOOLE.HE EVEN NAMED HIS CO. AS DOOLE THE GOD FATHER. NOTHING AGAINST YOU ROGER, AT LEAST YOU DID STICK UP FOR WHAT WAS FAIR.OR AT LEAST WHEN I WORKED THERE. I DON'T KNOW WHO THIS IQ IS, BUT I HAVE TO AGREE WITH WHAT HE SAYS. WHERE YOU HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU GOT PAID IN PA.ROGER? OR DID YOU GET MOORE LIKE HIS FAVORITES TOO? $300 MY ASS. MR.DRT GOT PAID MORE THAN $300. COME ON ROGER, WHOS SIDE ARE YOU ON ANY WAY. YOU DO KNOW ME. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO TELL YOU WHO I AM.YOU ALSO KNOW THE WAY DOOLE IS TOO. YOU YOURSELF HAD TO KEEP HIS FAVORITISM TO A MINIMUM. JUST SO HIS COMPANY WOULD LAST AND YOU WOULD HAVE A JOB. YOU CAN'T HID THE TRUTH, ROGER. UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME KIND OF PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH DOOLE THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN BUSINESS. THE WAY DOOLE GIVES THE GRAVY TO HIS FAVORITES AND PENCIL WHIPS THE PEOPLE HE IS INTIMIDATED BY OR DON'T LIKE. BY THE WAY,HOW DID YOU GET ALL THOSE GRAVY RUNS ANY WAY? YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT HE JUST GIVE THEM TO YOU OUT OF THE KINDNESS OF HIS HEART. THERE ARE TO MANY PEOPLE THAT WILL STAND UP AND SAY DIFFERENT ABOUT DOOLE. INCLUDING THE WAY HE CHARGES $2300 FOR BASIC CABLE SPLICEING TOOLS THAT ACTUALLY COST ABOUT $600. AND AS FOR DOOLE, THIS I SAY TO YOU. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND AND I WISH THE BEST OF IT TO YOU. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GET A BIG JOB AND THE WAY YOU HAVE DONE YOUR PEOPLE, YOU WILL KNOW WHY YOU END UP WITH THE SHAFT. YOU CAN'T DO PEOPLE WRONG AND EXPECT TO GET ANY REWARD FOR GREEDINESS. AND MARK MY WORDS. FUTURE TELLS FORTUNES NOT CARTOONS,AND YOU REEP WHAT YOU SEW. THIS KIND OF TREETMENT DOESN'T FALL OUT OF THE SKY ON SOME ONE WHO DOES PEOPLE RIGHT. YOU GOT THE SHAFT IN NEW ORLEANS,EUNICE,AND PENN. AND I WOULD THINK YOU WOULD HAVE LEARNED YOU LESSON BY NOW. WHY CAN'T YOU STOP BEING SO GREEDY? YOU END UP CUTTING OFF THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU.THE ONLY COMPANY THAT WILL KEEP YOU WORKING FOR THEM IS GDI. WHO DO YOU THINK YOUR FOOLING? I WILL NOT TELL ANY LIES ABOUT YOU. I WILL TELL THE TRUTH IF SOME ONE ASK ME THOUGH. TRY YOUR POLITICS ON THAT DOOLE. YOU CAN'T RUN A COMPANY WITH NO MANAGING SKILL,YOUR JUST A SPLICER THAT WANTS TO BE A MANAGER. FACE IT DOOLE. YOUR COMPANY WAS ACTUALLY MANAGED CORRECTLY, FAIRLY AND EQUAL IN EUNICE WHEN YOUR DAD AND BROTHER WAS MANAGEING IT. ITS NOT THIER FAULT YOU WANTED TO DO THE JOB WITHOUT ALL THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT! THATS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU GET GREEDY AND ALL YOU CAN BLAME IS YOURSELF.INSTEAD YOU ARE USING DON AND DONNIE AS SCAPEGOATS AND BLAMING THEM. WHEN ALL THEY WERE DOING IS WHAT THEY WERE TOLD BY YOU,DOOLE. YOU NEED TO GO HOME AND TAKE A LONG HARD LOOK AT THINGS DOOLE AND RE THINK, BUDDY! JUST MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T BURNNED ALL THE BRIDGES. BUT YOU ARE DEFINATLY WELL ON YOUR WAY. HOWS THIS FOR UNFAIR? HOW ABOUT PAYING SOMEONE $750 WK TO RUN SERVICE FOR 43 SPLICERS AND ON TOP OF THAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO CLEAN UP TOO.TELL ME SOMETHING DOOLE WHO YOU HAD RUNNING SERVICE KEPT YOUR COMPANY GOING! HE WOULD COME IN IN THE MORNING ABOUT 7:30 AND WORK UNTIL 3:00A.M.AND COME IN THE NEXT DAY AT 7:30 AND WORK AGAIN UNTIL ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT,AND ON WEEKNDS HE WOULD STILL WORK LONG HOURS. WHERE WAS YOUR THANKS DOOLE? I THINK YOU OWE THIS PERSON A LUMP OF GRATITUDE DOOLE. HE COULD HAVE TURNED OF HIS RADIO,PACKED UP AND LEFT. THEN WHAT WOULD HAPPEN? GDI WOULD HAVE LOST THE CONTRACT. BUT WHAT DID DOOLE DO? HE LET HIM GO.SAID HIS SERVICES DID NOT BENIFIT HIM AT ALL. SOME GRADITUDE DOOLE.WHATS NEXT? YOU GOING TO CHANGE YOUR NAME TO KEEP FROM THE EMBARASSMENT? OR JUST TURN IT ALL OVER TO YOUR WIFE TO HIDE? IT WON'T WORK DOOLE. YOUR KARMA FOLLOWS YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO. .... POOR DOOLE, MAYBE THINGS WILL START LOOKING UP FOR YA? BUT NOT UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY STOP BEING GREEDY.

Anyways to answer some fo your questions here we go,.....How do I get all those GRAVY RUNS? Well you ought to know how if you asked me like so many of the other guys did. I would work while all the rest of you guys would be in bed or partying out somewhere, and get my run done before anyone would get up the next morning. When I walk in that office with my billing in hand before most of the guys showed up, I COULD ASK FOR THE GRAVY
