Neither are great choices from where I stand, but will give Admiral Blair the benifit of the doubt after reading the water skiing bit.

No $hit! Anybody that skis behind a destroyer has got to be given a chance!

I would have appointed him for that reason alone!

Oh yes.

...under an aircraft carrier, with lots, and lots, and lots of barnacles - but on a humanitarian note, abrupt keel-hauling beneath heavily barnacled hulls can result in some nasty grazing injuries....so I'd recommend a nice, safe 45 minute haul - granted, he might not be breathing after 45 minutes, but..well, who gives a monkey's?

I figure if you are the boss you might as well do these things. Bit like Bush landing on a carrier, as a pilot he probably always wanted to do that, and if you can't do it when you are the pres - when can you!
