    I hate to tell you guys this but you've been fooled.  I was looking for the LA Times article because I wanted to see what part of LA he was from and I found this:

     

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/gold-member/

     

    I realize Snopes isn't very reliable either but when I couldn't find anything from the LA Times, I have to think they're correct.

    I did the same, but didn’t consult Snopes. There is no story to be found about this supposed person. I’m amazed people fall for this s**t.

    Bottom line....something new, government subsidized,  failed.  

     

    The only "subsidies" this attempt at maritime fuel savings is the usual business tax breaks 

    Tax breaks ARE subsidies and they are never-ending. Take away the taxpayer support and the entire green energy gambit dies overnight. 
     

    Now, let’s take this dead horse topic to a new thread and leave this meme thread alone.

    Second look at that that a TERP or ANA  so yep he is going for cover :)

    Please translate ANA. 

     

    I just now noticed the ejected case in the air. What is the block-like device attached to the hand guard/forearm?

    I'm the odd man out.  Did 20 years in Naval Aviation and when I retired my Sea Duty Counter was 0000. Didn't plan it that way, just how it worked out.

     

    My first sea tour was with an EW aggressor squadron, VAQ-34 out of NAS Point Muga Ca and NAS Lemoore Ca. (We did a home port change when we transitioned from the ERA-3B and EA-7L to the FA-18) We deployed a lot training the fleet in anti-ship missile defense techniques.

    My second sea tour was with VQ-1 (EP-3E) out of NAS Whidbey Island Wa. Deployed to Japan/Okinawa and Bahrain.

    My last tour in the Navy was with a Fleet Introduction Team out of the old NAC Indianapolis at first with a home port change to NAWS China Lake. For a shore tour I spent more time on the road than I was at home.

     

    BTW I have a lot of respect for those that were "Haze Gray and Under Way".

     

    Dad was VQ-1 pilot 1958-1960 and is why we sailed to Iwakuni. Small world. :)

    I logged 11 days aboard the troopships USS General Mann and 8 days aboard the USS General Mitchell before I was 8 years old - as one of two-dozen or so dependents.  The other passengers were Marines.
     

    That’s how we transited the Pacific in the late ‘50s & early ’60s. :)

    Is it?  On my phone it looks galvanized.   I guess I owe Alpo an apology.

     

    Sorry, Alpo!

    Galvanized won’t bend like that. If you zoom in, you can just see the sweated joint under the M of Plumber.
