  Here's a cheery message from Newt.  Looks like people are having a hard time figuring out what this website is for.  Hello to everyone,  I hope you are all leading wonderful and fulfilling lives,  I know I am.  So as most of you know,
 I am in the Navy and in the Navy there are ships ( including Satan's own personal creation:  Submarines)  and as if the mere existence of ships wasn't bad enough,  sometimes they go away from land for extended periods of time,  and sometimes really fat telly-
tubby looking men called executive officers,  who hate the idea of other people's happiness decide that everyone they work with is not quite miserable enough and may need a couple extra months of pain,  and then other people called admirals decide that this is a great idea and take a submarine whose hull " expires"  and deserves to be ripped apart,  shat on and sold for scrap,
 and keep it out underneath the ocean for a bit longer,  and this causes everyone else debate the merits of drinking bleach.  Not that this applies to me,  of course.  But at some time in the near future I will be sporting the high- n-
tight/ moustache combo,  which in conjunction with my underway specs( plebe summer issue geekers)  will finally get me the respect I deserve.  Anyways,
 for those of you who didn't quite follow all of that and I think that's pretty much all of you,  the USS Honolulu is about to set sail to do " God's Work"  for almost half a year.  Where Team Hono is going,  I cannot say.
 But I will say that the Hono Warriors will be visiting most of the dirtiest ports the Pacific Ocean has to offer,  so I should at least have some good stories if not diseases.  While I'm gone growing older and greyer,  I will not be able to access my Hotmail account,  so you'll have to write to me at newtonbl@ honolulu.
navy. mil.  It might take a couple weeks,  but eventually after two or three people have read and possibly censored your email,  I'll get it.  And then I'll respond and eventually after two or three people have read and possilby censored my email,
 you'll get my response.  And don't worry if you get some message saying that some of the stuff you wrote was deleted,  I'm pretty sure that's bullshit.  But please write since I'll have almost no contact with actual human beings for a few months.  And by actual human beings I mean people neither in the Navy nor the oldest of the world's professions.  Alright my friends,
 that's all I've got but please keep in touch and pour some fruity drinks out for me while I'm gone.  Pangarap,  keep the dream alive.  BNewt
