FRP iis a load of crap. We've always known that we could deploy the
forces as envisioned for FRP. but at what cost? Not just taxpayer
dollars, but also quality of life. CNO would never buy into a plan
such as FRP in the past solely based on retention of the all-volunteer
force. Retention rates will significantly suffer. Wait till the
Lincoln gets back sometime next year. Remember the huge sucking sound
George Perot campaigned with about jobs going south? You will hear
that same sucking sound when the reality of family life suffers as a
result of FRP.

Wallpaper of the month - October 2004

Desktop Wallpaper - "United States Navy '04".

“That is what tomorrow is about for the U.S. Navy - the ability to
project credible combat power to the far corners of the earth,
demonstrating the sovereignty of the United States of America, options
for the president anywhere at anytime, around the world and around the
clock. That’s what Summer Pulse ’04 was demonstrating.

- Adm. Vern Clark
Chief of Naval Operations

Description: The Department of Defense announced June 2 that this
summer, simultaneous deployment of seven aircraft carrier strike
groups (CSGs) will demonstrate the ability of the Navy to provide
credible combat power across the globe by operating in five theaters
with other U.S., allied and coalition military forces.

"Summer Pulse '04" will be the Navy’s first exercise of its new
operational construct, the Fleet Response Plan (FRP). FRP is about new
ways of operating, training, manning, and maintaining the fleet that
results in increased force readiness and the ability to provide
significant combat power to the President in response to a national
emergency or crisis.

Beginning this week and continuing through August, the Navy will
exercise the full range of skills involved in simultaneously deploying
and employing carrier strike groups around the world. Summer Pulse '04
will include scheduled deployments, surge operations, joint and
international exercises, and other advanced training and port visits.

Under the FRP construct, the Navy can provide six CSGs in less than 30
days to support contingency operations around the globe, and two more
CSGs can be ready in three months to reinforce or rotate with
initially responding forces, to continue presence operations in other
parts of the world, or to support military action in another crisis.
Summer Pulse '04 will exercise the logistics and shore infrastructure
necessary to execute a large scale surge operation, stress the
operational concepts in the Navy’s Sea Power 21 strategy, and improve
Navy interoperability with numerous allies and coalition partners, as
well as other U.S. military forces.

Complete installation instructions are provided.
