Carter is not part of the Baby Boomer generation. He is two generations older than the Baby Boomers. He has children in the Baby Boomer generation.

You are showing disrespect to a great, dead man. It says more about you than about him.

Not too familiar with Navy submariner parlance, Salty Walty?

I look forward to watering the grass on Peanut's grave. I'll add a few drops in your name. :thup:

A boomer is a nuclear submarine. As a Boomer Captain he was talking about the boats he commanded in the Navy. (And yes, submarines are all boats, not ships).

Actually, Carter never a submarine captain, and did not actually serve on a nuclear submarine. He trained to be on the Sea Wolf(second nuclear submarine), but his father died before he could.

from that link above said:
Carter was a peanut farmer-turned-multi-role public servant. He served as the 39th president of the United States between 1977 to 1981 . Less known to most Americans, his public life began at the U.S. Naval Academy and service in nuclear-powered submarines.

I hear you that he wasn't a captain... but that is what he was referring to as a Boomer, not as part of the Boomer generation.

Just to be "that guy", a boomer is an FBM submarine. It carries between 16 and 24 intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Boomers go out and just make big circles while being very, very quiet. I was on one in the early 1980s.

Yeah. I didn't want to get too deep into it. He didn't captain any of them though. So he served in early nuclear powered subs, actually helped design the power plants that worked in the subs, smart cookie, probably the smartest man to serve as President. Too bad that didn't translate into "good president" or even "good decisions"... He was a patriot though, and the most impactful ex President ever, he did more good as an ex President than he did as President. If you were on boomers in the 80s you would have had some of my friends on board... CT(I)s...

I would TDY on boomers back in the day. Sometimes I even slept on missiles and/or torpedoes on temporary racks set up for us as all the coffins were assigned to the folks that were stationed on the boats.

I was in the SOSUS system in the navy in the early 70s back then Boomers were SSBNs and attack subs were SSNs .
Don't know when they changed the designation .
We were the ones that helped get our subs super quiet.
went an several SSNs and SSBNs running them through AUTEC .
That was fun.
We could detect Russian subs and ships at ranges of thousands of miles .
Then John Walker sold us out and the Russians found out they had to quiet their subs , it made it harder for us but we did some improvements on our system and can still keep track of them anyways.
It was one heck of a system.

I was in my third week of Air Force basic training when that happened, it was very depressing to my entire squadron.

As I said, I was not fond of all things done by Carter. Still, he was good hearted, and did serve our nation.

He deserves recognition for not abusing subordinate employees wearing a blue dress or such.

Carter was perhaps the best ex-President in American History. He was a good man, if ineffective President.

May he rest in peace.

neocon globalist fuckholes believe in abuse.

especially of Americans.

:truestory:
 
it's amazing how many of you military careerists are supposedly small government.

absolutely unreal.

as long as you get yours I guess.

I guess your real mission at the end of the rainbow was to suck corporate cocks and hate Americans online..

He was so great that the American people booted him out of office after one terrible term, Walter.

Worse, Toshiba sold them the planers and the software that created quiet screws and the Akula class submarine was born, nearly as quiet as ours... (Akula = Shark in Russian)... I do not buy Toshiba products.

I agree 100% , Toshiba really fucked us when they did that and really helped the Russians.
I can't go into a lot of it because it is still classified at least secret, Heck I got out in 73 and there are things that I can't talk about till I am 100 years old and even then they can extend them.
I know just like you being a CT , were you at MEAD?
Had a friend that was a CT at MEAD.

Yes, I served my years at Ft. Mead. I worked in the NSA building. Occasional TDY on Boomers (It was always a boomer)... I did TDY on an Aircraft Carrier once and even flew twice on an EP3 out of Japan... USN 1988-1993...

And yeah. I had SCI clearance, I cannot tell most of my stories.
