Splash the zeros. I say again, splash the zeros. (What a great movie. I found it on Amazon Prime and watched it again.) | ||

Why the hell are we playing with these guys? With all the remakes that Hollywood is doing, what would this movie be like today? You could make it a British film, where the new aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth goes through the portal and ends up off the coast of Singapore Dec 9, 1941 right before the Japanese sink the British Force-Z Squadron, 1 battleship, 1 battlecruiser, 4 destroyers, all by airpower. or, A US attack submarine goes through the portal and ends up off the coast of Hawaii Dec 6, 1941. | |||

I know I've had to have seen this movie but I sure don't remember seeing it... I guess that means I will have to watch it (again?) | |||

Navy guys - a question. In the Army - a commander is always -6. For instance Black 6, Bulldog 6, Raven 6 or whatever. Does the Navy have a similar 'number' to designate the commander? If the same conversation happened in the Army - it would be 'Alert 1, this is Eagle 6 - splash the Zeroes...' Great scene no doubt. -------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

IIRC, it's designated by "actual". As in "this is Nimitz Actual" And what a great cast in this movie. Love it. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

Not quite, (apples/oranges) “actual” means you are speaking to the commander and not his RTO or a staff member. What their call sign is is different, the call sign is the position. For example, I was “Cynic 06” in Iraq which was C Co commander. Someone can call Cynic 06 and get my RTO who can give them the info they need, he would say this is “Cynic 06 Romeo” so they knew they were speaking to my RTO, not me. We don’t typically say “actual” except when asking the person on the other end to get the “actual” commander on the horn. “I need to speak to Cynic 06 actual” “Roger” “This is Cynic 06 actual” “Roger Cynic 06, we have...”. Note how it just goes back to the call sign sans “actual” after that confirmation and a commander making a call isn’t gonna say “actual” either, they just use their call sign. “People have to really suffer before they can risk doing what they love.” –Chuck Palahnuik Be harder to kill: https://preparefit.ck.page | |||

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
"Ahhh, Black Cloud, you've been doing unauthorized rain dances again." When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | |||

Saw the "Actual" designation in a few books. It took me a while to figure out what it meant. | |||

I'm talking about the classic paradox of time. Imagine, for example, I go back in time and meet my own Grandfather. Long before he got married, before he had children. And we have an argument, and I kill him. Now if that happens, how am I ever going to be born? And if I can never be born, how can I go back in history and meet my very own Grandfather? ______________________________________________ Life is short. It’s shorter with the wrong gun… | |||

CQB60, you have simply changed / created one possible alternative timeline. The one where you existed still exists as do a million trillion other timelines universes where other decisions have been made. There are and are not a million trillion you’s That’s my quantum take on things anyway. "Guns are tools. The only weapon ever created was man." | |||

That is a Martin Sheen quote from the movie. | |||
