Report: U.S. Navy to Sideline 17 Ships for Lack of Manpower

There are not enough Merchant Marines for the U.S. Navy to fully man 17 vessels, causing officials to take them out of regular operation.

No subs? No thanks. Too bad they have destroyed our military and infrastructure this bad. Meanwhile our adversaries are building.

I suppose I could tell my wife I'm going to Subic Bay to, uh, play some golf... On second thought I'd like to survive my golden years.

That is my great-great uncle Carl Osborne. That photo is his prisoner photo at Leave worth prison in Kansas. He was convicted for extorting a shop owner in a ring called th Black hands in the early 1900’s.

It took a lot of research through news clippings, census reports and online prison records with pictures to get that pic. He died a few months after getting released in Leavenworth, KS. His body was shipped to Plattsmouth, NE which is where a lot of family are from. He was buried at night with no obit in the papers (very odd). I am sure his sister (my great great grandma) had him buried that way. Having your brother die, just out of the Federal pen would have been embarrassing for the family back then (1914).
