USS John S. McCain Gun Shoot

PACIFIC OCEAN (Mar. 25, 2024) Cmdr. Cameron Yaste, the Commanding Officer of the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS John S. McCain (DDG 56), fires at the "killer tomato" during a gun shoot. The ship is in U.S. 7th Fleet conducting routine operations. 7th Fleet is the U.S. Navy's...

Someone really hated their skipper and set the dumbass up with this shit. There's famous, then there's internet famous.

Then there's someone cleaning bilges for the remainder of float...

This entire DVIDS post is a poor representation of mission readiness.

I find this to be concerning as well.

I meant the female with the turkey gobbler neck, not the manhandling.

Pointing out an offset heat shield, chin strap not on the chin or shooting from the cardboard box is hardly a readiness issue in my mind in comparison to the double and triple chins and someone letting the skipper keep shooting with a backward scope while he still hasn't figured out something's fucky.

The carrying handle? Looks locked to the right to me, but it might be the camera angle playing tricks.

Ahhhh, so I wasn't the only one!!!! I feel better now.

Well how's he supposed to know??? The lens cover is closed.

Correct, the backwards scope with the lens cover closed and brass in the air I thought was the obvious point of the OP's post.

Remember when our moms used to tell us they were disappointed? Well... I have no other words for this shit show of a photo op.

 

[Steel+Killer]

I think this is a psy op trying to get China or Russia to strike first because they will think the US military is a bunch of imbeciles.

I'll withhold commenting for now to see what others notice/think. Agree the angle could be fucky on the carrying handle picture but something (or two items in particular) seemed off to me but I'll keep that to myself for the time being.

I will say the Hide has been nicer than we have about this picture. I wouldn't be surprised if the Navy takes it down soon.

I couldn't shake thinking that name sounded familiar... I doubt it's through anyone's fault in those pictures but given the last public blunder that ship had in the news, I wouldn't say that these images exactly instill confidence moving forward and am a bit surprised that this post didn't receive extra scrutiny from Big Navy before it went public.

And that ladies and gentlemen is an incredibly embarassing gaffe now captured here on the Hide before it automagically vanishes never to be spoken of again publicly. I so hope someone was able to snag some of the comments that were posted...

It's looking like they're going into damage control at the moment and the pictures would have disappeared into the ether had we not been discussing it here on the Hide. The good news is we have the pictures preserved (still have my fingers crossed that someone will be able to screenshot the comments) but the bad news is... well, we likely do have a military, or at least a Navy, that is run by a bunch of imbeciles... so there's that.

I thought everyone knew that sailors began as gays ?

The capt always had a "cabin boy" .....not much creativity needed to know why.
They were always associated with ruffled shirts and bare chests ???
"Shiver me timbers and pat the poop deck" ??? TMI, right ??
Women on board were considered bad luck and in ill taste ??
Just consider that classic stance of the Capt Morgan dude, no self respecting man would ever be caught in such a pose.

Not much further needed, amirite ?

Don't suppose you have a Twitter account to see what comments are being left by chance? I have to imagine that the remarks are nothing short of epic.

And there was not to be a white man found.....

BTW, the Navy's own demographics say there is a 4:1 male:female ratio with over 2/3 white overall.

Understood and we'd probably be of the same mind hence me not having/nor am willing to create a twitter account either. But- I had to ask as nobody else seems to be chiming in yet to grab those comments. Just attempting to be an opportunist but certainly understand your position on the social media accounts.

There’s a reason most officers are only issued a handgun as their weapon.
