Service to the Fleet, and on the street

A Navy officer testified in federal court in Washington yesterday that she moonlighted as a call girl for Deborah Jeane Palfrey's escort service for six months, starting in 2005, when the military says she was assigned to the Naval Academy as a supply officer.
Considering the high price of living in the greater DC, Annapolis, and Baltimore areas, a junior officer might have to moonlight to afford living there. LCDR Dickinson has surfaced in the wake of the Spritzer investigation, apparently moonlighting as a call girl.

Why should the Navy investigate her off duty activities, one wonders? Naval Officers are required to stay in good physical condition. Is off duty aerobics not in the line of duty? :boggled:

Up periscope.

Speaking of unintentional irony

"It was getting harder for me to do," Dickinson testified. "I had other responsibilities. I didn't like it." She added, "I quit for many reasons. . . . Partly because of other commitments."
I'll leave those other commitments as an exercise for the reader.

Make love, not war.

I had a hunch the Navy was about more than weighing anchor.

My brother was in the Navy in 1972, at the end of the Vietnam war. He had duty on a mine sweeper (read wooden hulled yacht); they went to he Gulf on Tonkin to sweep it after hostilities ended, and then spent the rest of his enlistment in Hawaii, going sailing every two weeks to give the weekend warriors something to do.
