Military Secret provides a wildly entertaining,
informative Navy handbook for the conservative and liberal alike. It shows how
to remain professional in the face of relentless harassment, and finally, that
you can't.
Sexual Repression: A Time Honored Tradition Of Mental Cruelty
US Navy policy prevents free speech, between gays and straights. How do you know
who is gay, and who is not, if you can’t ask and can’t tell? Gays are prominent
targets of Pentagon manuals intent on discharging them not for having sex
onboard ships or disturbing the “well being” of shipmates. Plain and simple:
THERE IS SADISTIC PLEASURE IN HARASSING THE VICTIM WHO CANNOT COMPLAIN! This
cruelty brings equal satisfaction, yet is far less risk than female sexual
harassment -- because to complain is to invite indictment. No other member has
ever dared put this story in written form in present tense.
Drug Testing In (The Real) Top Gun: Cracks In The Specimen Jar
Those who believe drug testing ensures safety on the flightdeck will find a
shock in Military Secret. Graham occupies a position
central to drug test procedures. Graham determines who will get tested in a spot
check. He handles the specimen jars, and helps maintain “the chain of custody.”
Graham seems honest and fair -- but he is not the only one with access, or
tasked with maintaining integrity. Squadronmates in more dangerous positions --
i.e., jet mechanics -- use more drugs far more often. Sometimes they get away
with it -- as this Top Gun insider chronicles -- at the expense of the innocent.
Smoke Free Navy Smokescreen, For A Chain-smoking Chain Of Command
What could be worse than a boss blowing smoke in your face? Graham’s cigar
puffing CO (a former Blue Angels instructor) clarifies his personal policy:
No matter how, or how far up the chain of command you take your complaint, it is gonna roll back down via this chain, with most unpleasant repercussions at the bottom, on you.
Outside the gates this author -- a former DEA agent -- tells the inside story of Mission Beach, San Diego’s notorious haven for speed and LSD. Hang out at Southern California’s famous beach bars, Johnny’s Surf Club and The Coaster Saloon. Finally, discover a hidden treasure about the Second Coming of Christ in 1977, the best kept military secret on this planet.
