Supply Community,
On May 17, 2017, I provided the below statement to the U.S. District Court, Southern District of California in the sentencing hearing for CAPT (ret) Robert Gilbeau. I was asked to provide a statement focusing on the impact that CAPT (ret) Gilbeau's actions have had on the Supply Community. In other words, I was there representing all of you, and I want you to know what I said on your behalf.
This was not an easy task, but it was a necessary step for us all to be able to continue repairing the damage done by some of our former members. I want you all to know that actions not consistent with Navy Core Values have consequences.
I previously shared with you thoughts about the two sides of the concept of accountability: (1) holding those accountable for their misdeeds and (2) taking accountability for each other as we reach out to help our shipmates stay on the right path. As we move forward, I hope to be able to focus more on the second meaning.
Good Morning Your Honor. I am Rear Admiral Jonathan A. Yuen. I currently serve as Chief of Navy Supply Corps and Commander, Naval Supply Systems Command (or "NAVSUP").
I thank Your Honor for the opportunity to again address this Court. The Vice Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral William Moran, provided a written statement expressing the impact of this particular Defendant's actions on the U.S. Navy, as an institution, and the members in its service. I offer the Court the following elaboration on the impact the Defendant's actions have had on the U.S. Navy Supply Corps.
As Chief of Supply Corps, I am the community leader for approximately three thousand Supply Corps officers and 20,000 Sailors. As NAVSUP Commander, I am the Supply Chain Manager for the Navy, responsible for providing parts, ordnance, fuel, food, and other supplies to sustain our forces throughout the world. The entire NAVSUP enterprise includes more than six thousand nine hundred civilians, one thousand five hundred enlisted Sailors and five hundred and fifty Supply Corps officers, serving at NAVSUP headquarters and in several subordinate commands.
Our overall mission can be summed up in the phrase, "Delivering the right stuff, to the right place, at the right time and at the right cost." I am stationed at NAVSUP headquarters and live in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.
Since assuming command in October 2013, there have been many difficult days, but today is particularly difficult for me.
In the summer of 1979, Captain (ret.) Robert Gilbeau and I started our Navy careers together at the United States Naval Academy. It was very difficult for me to learn the details of his criminal and dishonorable activities. I take no pleasure in presenting this statement, but it is important for this Court to hear the damage his actions have inflicted on our Supply community and our Navy.
After graduating from the Academy, we both became Supply Corps officers in 1983, starting at the rank of Ensign and working our way up to Flag Officer, before the Defendant was reduced to the rank of Captain at his retirement. Over the years, we served with some outstanding Supply Corps officers, enlisted Sailors and civilians, whose professionalism, dedication and sacrifice were inspiring. When he was a Rear Admiral in our community, the Defendant should have been a role model to every hard-working Supply Corps officer; particularly those who aspire to earn, the rank of Admiral. Instead, by lying to investigators about the true nature of his relationship with Leonard Francis, and destroying evidence of that relationship, he embarrassed the junior officers he was supposed to inspire.
The scandalous nature of his actions while serving as a Supply Corps officer assigned to ships operating in the Pacific theatre further cast unfair suspicion on every Supply Corps officer who operated in that theatre during those years, causing people to wonder if they too were corrupt. I offer this fact to the Court because the vast majority of Supply Corps officers who served in Asia got the job done without compromising their duty or their ethics. Those dedicated professionals are angry and appalled to be associated with this kind of behavior. I am here to represent them -- and ensure their voices are heard.
I reject any suggestion that it was necessary to compromise standards when operating in Asia during any of the years that fall under the GDMA timeframe. In the simplest of terms, the fact that any Supply Corps officer would be motivated by a desire to enrich themselves, when their focus should be exclusively on the needs of the ship and the crew, is a fundamental betrayal of what all of us in the Supply community have dedicated our lives to do.
There are over six thousand nine hundred dedicated civilians in the Supply community -who should also be heard on this matter. I am honored to have among our NAVSUP family, civilian men and women who helped train both the Defendant and me when we were junior officers over 30 years ago. Our civilians are more than employees -- they are proud professionals who are personally invested in the reputation and welfare of the Navy Supply community. They too feel embarrassed and angered by the actions of the Defendant and others caught up in the GDMA scandal.
Our civilian members who work in the area of providing husbanding contracts were among the hardest impacted by the GDMA scandal. These contracts secure the goods and services to U.S. warships and other naval vessels visiting foreign ports, what we refer to as "husbanding." When the criminal conduct of GDMA and certain US Navy members, including this Defendant, came to light, it was these men and women who did the heavy lifting, working long hours under stressful conditions, to completely overhaul the procedures for securing husbanding contracts, as referenced by the VCNO in his letter.
The contracting mission carries with it broader strategic implications. It extends beyond securing needed goods and services. It even extends beyond being good stewards of the taxpayers' money. When operating overseas, the contracting mission demonstrates to foreign contractors and officials how Americans do business. Supply Corps officers are taught that our Navy's business practices must project integrity, fair dealing, and adherence to the rule of law if we expect others in the world to follow suit. Participating in, and supporting corruption in the foreign ports we visit weakens the power of our economic example, and thereby harms our mission, while encouraging dangerous elements seeking to gain a foothold through corruption and fraud to threaten our national security.
The misconduct of those, like the Defendant, convicted of participation in the GDMA corruption scandal has had, and will continue to have, a far-reaching impact upon the Navy Supply community, in the way we perform our mission, the way others perceive us, and especially in how we think and feel about ourselves. The Defendant's misconduct while serving as a Supply Corps officer has seriously damaged the community he served for more than 30 years. While some may see today as a setback, it is a necessary part of the healing process. Those who have engaged in criminal conduct must be held accountable for their actions before we can repair the damage they have done.
Finally, Your Honor, I'd be remiss if I didn't add that I am extremely proud of the Supply community's resilient response to this scandal, and dedication to making things right again. We are restoring our rock-solid reputation that was earned by honoring our promises and ensuring our customers' needs are met, serving the warfighters who serve this great nation.
While the misdeeds of a few of our members - like the Defendant and others who this Court has previously sentenced -- have made things difficult the last few years, I have complete confidence that the dedicated men and women who serve in the US Navy Supply community will succeed in taking our Navy to new heights of reliability, innovation, performance, and respect.

Are you signed up for the 2018 Oakleaf River Cruise on the Douro in Portugal? If you're a fan of wine tasting, you won't want to miss this trip.
Lettie Teague of the Wall Street Journal recently returned from the Douro Valley in Portugal and reported on the "very good" wines in an article on March 23, 2017. Known for their port, Teague was pleasantly surprised with the "first-rate" dry reds and whites. Teague reported that little is known about the Douro reds and whites because they have only been around for a couple of decades but their Port dates back to 1756.
After two highly successful and enjoyable European river cruises, the Foundation is excited to offer a third cruise - exploring the Douro River in Portugal. This eleven day cruise will begin on 3 August 2018, in Porto, Portugal, cruise along the breathtaking Douro River to Vega de Terron and return to Porto on 13 August 2018. Please see the attached "Oakleaf Cruise UNFORGETTABLE DOURO" for detailed information. Some highlights:

The Oakleaf cruise UNFORGETTABLE DOURO just got better. Working with Scenic, we have identified two additional benefits for our travelers.
For a limited time Scenic is offering contract airfare at 2017 rates. For bookings made by 15 May 2017, Scenic will honor the 2017 contract rates for the 2018 sailing. If the 2018 contract rates are lower, they will honor the lower fare. Details on the airfare promotion are provided in this link.
In addition, Scenic will donate the value of one E cabin to the Foundation not tied to the previous occupancy requirement of 75% booking within 75 days. This means travelers can expect to receive approximately an additional $100 rebate or have the option of providing a donation to the Foundation. This is in addition to the $350 discount received at booking. Details will be provided upon your arrival on board the Scenic Azure.
Remember, the airfare option is only good for bookings and deposits made by 15 May 2017. Also the donation of the value of the second E cabin will only occur if 75% occupancy is achieved by 15 May 2017.
If you currently have a booking and would like to have the air promo added to it, please contact Pat by email and she will add this to your reservation.
You can opt out of the air promotion at any time prior to ticketing.
We are currently at 40% occupancy with reservations open for only six weeks.
Any questions can be directed to Pat Loeser of Loeser Travel Services (760) 743-2971 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Board of Directors Chair
On May 18, 2015 the U.S. AbilityOne Commission announced the 2015 AbilityOne award recipients. RADM Richard T. "Dick" Ginman, SC, USN (Ret.) was recognized for the E.R. "Dick" Alley Career Achievement Award.
The E. R. "Dick" Alley Career Achievement Award recognizes an individual who has provided extraordinary achievement and sustained effort in utilizing the Federal procurement system to create AbilityOne employment opportunities. This is the highest award bestowed by the Commission, and only one is given each year.
This year's recipient, RADM Ginman, is former Director, Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy, Department of Defense. Ginman has been a strong advocate and supporter of the AbilityOne Program throughout his 44-year military and civil service career, implementing policies and solutions that have increased employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities. He has signed and spearheaded several AbilityOne support memoranda, which were distributed to the Department of Defense's (DoD's) acquisition workforce. By encouraging the AbilityOne contract management support program, he has enabled 14 nonprofit agencies to support nearly 80 DoD contracting offices, which resulted in more than 160 upwardly mobile employment opportunities for people who are blind or have significant disabilities. He has also educated colleagues about AbilityOne through close collaboration with DoD Senior Procurement and Acquisition Executives

Six chapters took home bragging rights and funding to support a chapter family event as a result of being named winners in the 2015 Spirit Award competition, which wrapped up at the end of May. The Spirit Award was established by the Foundation Board of Directors to recognize the Chapters that added the most new members to the USNSCF master mailing list during the seven month period from October 2014 through May 2015.
The Washington, DC Chapter was named as the winner in the Large category and will be awarded $2500; the Mechanicsburg Chapter, winner in the Medium chapter category, will receive $1500; and the Monterey Chapter, winner in the Small category, earned $1000. The funds are provided to allow the chapter to host a family event of their choosing within the Community Values and Traditions guidelines. In addition Foundation will recognize the tremendous efforts of three other chapters, South West Asia, Tampa Bay and Hawaii, by awarding them $500 each for a similar event of their choosing.
More than 320 names were added to the Navy Supply Corps Foundation mailing list as a result of the effort. The Spirit Award provides a positive reward to the chapters, however the best outcome is to those "lost" members who will now be reconnected with the Supply Corps and share in the spirit of camaraderie, heritage and service that the Navy Supply Corps Foundation provides.
Congratulations to the chapter winners and a special thank you to each chapter president and all the members who supported this effort.

The Love God Says…
Maybe he's (or she's) just not that into you.
I hope that you people found my tips and advice to be informative and stimulating and that because of me you've had lots and lots of sexual monkey love stuff going on this week and you were singing my praises while you were orgasming, because that would be cool.
Being that this is my second Love God post and because love is as serious as a bottle of Herbal Essences lodged in your rectum after getting carried away in the shower because the commercial made you feel that if you didn't do crazy sex shit in the shower you were some kind of loser freak with no friends and ugly, greasy hair, so now you have a potentially dangerous and definitely humiliating situation to deal with… I'll get right to the point.
One of the most painful decisions that a couple must face is deciding whether to slowly crawl forward through the feces laced muck of a long term, committed relationship one torturous foot at a time or to break off the choking chains of fidelity, take an Herbal Essences improved shower and step out into the liberating world of bright, airy sunshine followed by lots and lots of sex with random strangers that will make vital internal pieces of your soul curl up and die but still be kind of fun and totally worth it.
Sometimes your ego will get in the way and stop you from making the right decision and moving on. Well I'm here to tell your ego that it's stupid and ugly and wrong. Chances are if you are unhappy then it's not your fault, it's the fault of the lazy, blind idiot that you call a partner. These are all signs that he's (or she's) just not that into you and it's time to move on.
– Too little sex. You need to understand that sexual dry patches are very normal in healthy relationships. These can usually be overcome with patience, store bought lubrication, a pharmacy bought erection and watching softcore porn together. But if it's been months since your last tango and your advances are met with, "Sorry babe, I just masturbated" then you may be in trouble. If your advances are met with, "Sorry babe, I'm about to masturbate" then the fat lady has already sung. Or is about to sing. Especially if your girlfriend is obese and vocally gifted during self induced orgasms.
-Too much sex. If he's constantly nagging you to let his friends 'have a go.'
-When you bought the crack and still didn't receive the promised fellatio.
-Passive Aggression. This is one of the most common ways that an introverted-intuitive-feeling-perceiving, type b personality will express their unspoken but highly sought after desire for you to get the fuck out of their house. Sometimes it's minor passive aggression like 'accidentally' selling your brand new set of Taylor Made golf clubs at the garage sale. Sometimes it's more obvious like that one time when you were doing all the yard work that she had been nagging you to do for the last 3 weeks while she cooked Sunday dinner only when you sat down to eat you noticed that while she had in fact, cooked an elaborate 5 course meal, she only made, like, two tablespoons of each dish and when you calmly inquired, "What the fucking fuck?" she coolly replied, "Oh, I didn't know you were hungry dickhead."
-When they sleep with your bosses and coworkers under the guise of procuring you a raise and you still didn't get one.
-If after three years of an office romance you still haven't had a kiss or shared a meal alone together. The chances are that your partner doesn't even know that they've been in a committed relationship for the last three years which also means that they have probably cheated on you numerous times with multiple people. Do you really want to continue your relationship with a stupid, slutty partner? I thought not.
– When your partner refuses to lift the restraining order and your advances are met with pepper spray and throat punches.
– The last and most dangerous is Jesus Christ. The man is a playa. Even though Jesus himself has a pure heart and only the best of intentions he has inadvertently broken up more happy homes than internet porn and secret gay lives combined. I've worked up a simple, easy to use guide to determine if Jesus is 'tapping that ass' that you used to call home.
1- Has your spouse been conspicuously absent from the pukey, hungover bed on Sunday mornings? And now that you think about it, wasn't she even more conspicuously absent from the weekly Saturday night 'Strips Clubs are Funner with Blow' outing?
2- Has she been leaving her old, sexy clothes in the closet and buying new, conservative, yet still slightly tacky outfits that tend to feature pleated, ankle length skirts and pearl buttoned tops with weird hats and hidous make-up?
3- Has she been finding excuses not to go to the Golden Calf Café on Sacrifice night?
4- Is there a little wooden, factory produced painting thingy with footprints and a bunch of squiggly lines now hanging in your bathroom or sitting room?
5- Are her eyes all shiny and sparkly now even though you just looked at your stash of meth and it was still in the same place and none was even missing?
If you answered yes to two or more of these questions then I hate to be the one to tell you but it's all over and she's with J-man now. She's got the Holy Spirit going wild all up inside her and she's not likely coming back from that trip anytime soon.
You have only two choices; convert or divorce. There will be no negotiation, trust me.
I hope this has been helpful. I still need questions about relationships, love, drug smuggling or sex for the next Love God post.

Looking at that picture of Amy, even if I bought the crack I don't think I could perform looking at that face.

Thanks for bringing this info to the forefront. I know now that my life with my gf is over, but at least I still have my cat. Cheers Scott!!

One of my best friends wife looks like that last picture, although her nose is a little more bulbous the make-up is every bit as thick and plastered on her face.
What should I do Great Love God?

I was doing okay until you mentioned restraining orders and pepper spray. That one brought back some pretty traumatic memories dude. I think I need to lie down for a bit.
Hilarious post as always!

You manage to find the scariest photos of people! Loved the line about the office romance 😉
Comment by Reb | August 16, 2010 |
Makeup is clearly the problem. Somewhere between Amy and Tammy Faye, there is a barefaced mama without issues. She may have hair problems, and maybe smells a bit, but there's always a tradeoff.
Comment by Cooper Green | August 16, 2010 |
That picture of Amy Winehouse should be used in every public service announcement to prevent drug use.
That would be some powerful stuff.

I prefer a bottle of Paul Mitchell deep conditioner up MY ass, but I'm just classy that way.
Comment by Heff | August 17, 2010 |
Ok, well, I'm 95% sure I have a passive aggressive partner problem, but just to be sure he wants me to Get the Fuck Out of My Own House, does ending arguments about, say, his excessive use of all the Herbal Essence, by saying, calmly and buddhist like, "I don't want to fight with you", then stepping through the door, slowly and serenely, and closing it shut, firmly but with unflappably cool, count?!
Comment by RubyTwoShoes | August 18, 2010 |
I remember unwrapping a gift at Christmas from my mom and dad a few years ago and it was this black case full of makeup… I looked at my mom and asked her it it was the Tammy Faye Baker starter kit. It was just WAY too much makeup. I am kinda relieved I have not had any of these issues with any of my ex's but they are still ex's and there is a reason for that… probably because I do not use herbal essences. Which reminds me of this girl that wanted to get even with the ex that was moving out of her house so she peed in his shampoo bottle.
Comment by Siren | August 18, 2010 |
Stepping out and having lots of varied encounters with different partners other than your main Squeeze is definitely fun, and it's good to add the disclaimer about the little bits of your soul that may potentiually curl up and die: one must be be psychologically prepared!
Comment by Mitzi G Burger | August 20, 2010 |
I'm guilty of owning the book "He's Just Not that into You" and of seeing the movie adaptation.
Question: Is it true that men, specifically the painfully shy ones who've been traumatized by rejection, cannot help but let a woman know that they're "into" them?

BLACK STONE CHERRY: Trailer For 'Family Tree' Album
March 31, 2018
A trailer for "Family Tree", the new album from Kentucky rockers BLACK STONE CHERRY, is available below. The disc will be released on April 20 via Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group.
"Family Tree" is the much-anticipated follow up to 2016's "Kentucky". As was the case on "Kentucky", the BLACK STONE CHERRY members opted to produce and track the new disc at David Barrick's Barrick Recording in Glasgow, Kentucky, the same studio where the four-piece recorded its eponymous debut. BLACK STONE CHERRY also chose to not over-rehearse upfront of the album sessions, instead preferring the immediacy and spontaneity of in-the-moment takes. The band also entrusted frontman Chris Robertson to mix the songs, which perfectly fit the loose, creative process that birthed "Family Tree".
"Family Tree" boasts BLACK STONE CHERRY's tried-and-true lucky number with its 13 songs, and like all BLACK STONE CHERRY releases, features songwriting contributions from each member.
"This album's not as heavy," Chris told Classic Rock. "In truth, there was some anger and aggression that came out on some of the 'Kentucky' songs, just from changing record labels and stuff like that. But with this record, we didn't concern ourselves with songs being heavy. We broke down all the barriers we'd put up ourselves — or that anyone else had put up in front of us — and just made a rock 'n' roll record."
Two special guests appear, one bringing the concept of family full circle. Chris's five-year-old son contributes backup vocals on the swaggering "You Got The Blues", while the other, revered jam-band musician Warren Haynes (GOV'T MULE) offers a guitar cameo and vocals on the delta stomp of "Dancing In The Rain". The band first met Warren 17 years ago as freshly signed youngsters on their first visit to New York City.
The concept of family looms large in the world of BLACK STONE CHERRY's four band members. Young's father Richard and his uncle Fred are founding members of the Grammy Award-winning country rock 'n' roots band THE KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS.
BLACK STONE CHERRY's four high school-aged friends — Young, plus frontman/guitarist Chris Robertson, guitarist Ben Wells and bassist Jon Lawhon — grew up honing their craft in the HEADHUNTERS' Practice House, an abandoned property on the Young family's farmland. John Fred says: "We grew up in THE KENTUCKY HEADHUNTERS' rehearsal space, looking up at posters of CREAM, LED ZEPPELIN, URIAH HEEP, THE [ROLLING] STONES MONTROSE, and THE FACES. We were like kids someone took in a time capsule and put in the woods."
"Family Tree" track listing:
01. Bad Habit
02. Burnin'
03. New Kinda Feelin
04. Carry Me On Down The Road
05. My Last Breath
06. Southern Fried Friday Night
07. Dancin' In The Rain (feat. Warren Haynes)
08. Ain't Nobody
09. James Brown
10. You Got The Blues
11. I Need A Woman
12. Get Me Over You
13. Family Tree

Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU
The Truth About Lies (The Truth Duet, #1)
Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her.
Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories.
Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop.
Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she'd turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine.
Lie: I was only there for a fresh start.
Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either.
But that's the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.
Be sure to follow Aly's newsletter for news about the duet.

4.5 of 5 Stars
This book was incredible in so many ways. It was dark and addictive. I became obsessed with finishing it.
Penn and Cora were amazing together. Both are survivors. The plot is not predictable. It's emotional and gritty. I don't think I've used so many adjectives to describe a book before. That's how interesting and unique this story is. Seriously, when Penn's life alters so dramatically in the first pages when he loses his wife, you know there are going to be plot twists and brutal moments. He's suffering and when he meets Cora, who is broken as well, you fall for the idea of them together. You crave it. You want happy for both of them.
I'm trying not to give their secrets away in this review. I want you to discover them on your own. You're welcome.
Note – this is not a sunshine and rainbows book. It's not a light read. They lie to survive. Reality is brutal and they hold their truths close as they discover love.
It's well-written, complicated, romantic and sexy. It's ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. I want more.

She passes what little free time she has reading anything and everything she can get her hands on, preferably with a super-sized tumbler of wine by her side.
