Future of USS Enterprise

[John Picard]

Here is the real insult, instead of naming a ship, they named a barracks instead!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(BLDG_7115)#Facilities

The barracks at RTC Great Lakes don't prevent a ship from bearing their name. (USS Constitution was the first of the new buildings completed.) Each of them is named for a distinguished ship (or ships, in at least one case) of the Navy (Constitution, Enterprise, USS United States, USS Arizona, etc.).

I did a stretch in those barracks way back when - they should have been named USS Garbage Scow

Ed, I had no idea you're a former squid! I went to "Great Mistakes" as well. August - October, meaning from setting Heat Conditions to Chill Conditions

July - Sept '77 for boot camp (summer heat on the grinder KILL ME NOW ) and then went to BEE school there until April '78 - just about the coldest, winteryist winter I've ever seen!! then just as it started to thaw, I went to San Diego.. timing is EVERYTHING
