On its website, the Department of Defense lists eight military deaths due to COVID-19, but that number includes guard or reserve service members. 

The one service member, Chief Aviation Ordnanceman Charles Robert Thacker Jr., 41, died in April. Thacker Jr. served on the Theodore Roosevelt.

One service man had died.

I think we should just give up to the Russians or the Chinese. The price of freedom is just too steep.

Unconditional surrender to President Xi with much groveling and boot licking.

Note 1: He looked overweight, was pallid, and had a desk job.Captains are not the only ones who cheat at annual body fat measurements. Military has 2 overlapping pyramids.

Just how muc sunlight do you get if you don;t go topside on a carrier.

Specifically, how many nmol/L of vitamin D does a sailor gain or lose on sub, carrier or smallboy due to lack of sunlight?

Why do we fortify milk with vitamin, if it is no big deal?

People use to get scurvy on long voyages, but those sailors were never shut up in a tin can. They worked the ropes.


"Many people don’t meet the recommendations for vitamin D. In fact, one study found that 25% of Canadians don’t meet their needs through diet alone (3Trusted Source).

People who live in northern latitudes where sunshine is limited in the winter, as well as those who don’t spend much time in the sun, often have lower blood levels of vitamin D (2Trusted Source, 3Trusted Source)."

You can measure your blood sugar without pricking your finger in recent years, but can you measure your vitamin D levels without a lab test? NO.

How much sun does a RED JERSEYED E7 get?

They can supervise, but they can't loiter. How much of their job and time are spent on the flight deck?

Next, we look at the reasoning and that is going to be a slog.

Drink more milk.
I'm tapping on 75 and drink a little short of a quart most days.
