It seems like you have a lot of anger inside you that must be difficult to live with. Maybe therapy would be a better outlet for you than being abusive to internet strangers

>As a surface warfare officer, Farrell has done tours of duty on the guided-missile cruisers USS Vella Gulf, USS San Jacinto and USS Vicksburg; she served as the executive officer on the latter.

Man, what a fucking downgrade in tech. At least her new office must smell nice.

(/s, she's rightfully very proud of her new post. Quote from here.

Glorifying the military is gross

It's gotta be considered a desirable posting in the USN. You get lodging in a safe, vibrant city, on an assignment that doesn't run the risk of violence unless you get an active shooter-type situation, and each day varies based on the ship duties, tourists you interact with, and community outreach you engage in. BJ Farrell has two young kids, so sending them to school in Massachusetts is about as good as it gets. I met her last summer during a tour of the Constitution, and she was very much enthusiastic about the work she and her crew do, and the historical opportunity presented to her.

That ship has literally been a museum since 1907…so it wasn’t even a military ship during WW.

When I was a kid, the dude that lived across from me served on the Constitution, and every once in a while, I would catch him in a very similar uniform leaving in the morning.

It was quite jarring the first time.... to say the least.

Very Cool!

I think the uniform is rad but the top comment in that post is about how it doesn't fit her. Which like, you're probably right, but it seems to be missing the point of the post...
