I'm a submariner and I am not offended at all. The fact is, submarines do not have media specialist attached to them, so for that very reason there just aren't the amount of images for submarine functions that there are for the other communities in the navy.
We don't need all the fanfare to know that what we do is a significant part of the global force for good.
I don't think for one single second that submariners were left out of this video for any other reason than it was compiled for ADM Roughead and what his career highlighted, the mission of fighting the war on terror, and the uniformity of all those who served in many ways alongside him. Look people, we have plenty of people around the world that bad mouth us, hate us and want to do our military and our country horrific harm. Can we accept this video for what it is and try to stay possitive?
While I completely understand your comments as to the Sub service being classified. There is no reason for an image or so to be included in the video. I have accepted that my husband will receive no fan fare and news coverage upon his return. This is a fact of "life". But for the Submariners not to be shown in any way is sacrilege! Hmmm...makes me wonder if you are a new Navy wife or have had nothing to do with Subs!
@821Karter I think you're reading waaaaaaaaaay too much into this. I'm a career submariner and the son of a career submariner; I didn't notice the lack of submarines until your rant pointed it out. As someone who is currently serving on the OPNAV Staff I can assure you that ADM Roughead doesn't need a tribute video to tell him what submarines are doing for him.
While I think this video is wonderful....I have to wonder where the "footage and or content" concerning Submarines! After my husbands (my) 24 years of service, I find it disturbing and saddening that the SUB SERVICE has not been included! Were my husband's 24 years for naught? Do they count for nothing? Go 4 months without word 1 from your loved one. NO VIDEO, NO EMAIL...NOTHING for 4 months or however long! HOW STRONG ARE YOU NOW!!!!!
@821Karter they honored the subs, what better way to honor something that is supposed to be silent and completely undetectable than to have them not be shown, a silent threat keeping the peace with their ballistic missiles?
@821Karter you must also keep in mind that most things having to do with the sub service are heavily classified, therefore, it's a little hard to get any kind of pictures or anything made public. However, there's no reason that the sub service should not have a mention
