Joe has held down the fort while I was away tending to some very exciting business, but we should be getting back to our normally scheduled programming now. So with a bit of reduction in coverage this week, and if the recent comments section is any indication, we have a *lot* to talk about.

It's time for Bunker Talk!

This is a weekend open discussion post for the best commenting crew on the net, in which we can chat about all the stuff that went on this week that we didn't get to. In other words, literally an off-topic thread.

We can chat about the fact that a swarm of dicks took down a bomber squadron CO:

Or what about this terrifying video of one ferocious sea:

**USN**

Once again, this is an entirely open exercise, so let's get after it.

Welcome to Bunker Talk!
