Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted June 19, 2016 Moderators Share Posted June 19, 2016 Lady RachelLynn, Sorry, your choice of #2 is not correct. Let me give you a hint: One day , I, my wife and my mother-in-law, boarded a U.S. Destroyer and embarked on a journey. During that journey, the three of us joined the U.S. sailors in eating a meal. At one point in the journey, I sat down in a chair on the deck. The commander of that Destroyer was sitting in a chair immediately to my right. During the conversation, I asked him how it was for him to give up the command of this U.S. Navel vessel and turn the command of the ship over to a citizen of another country who was an agent of another government. He explained that this set of circumstances was the only time that the U.S. Government would allow such to happen. Please select the one correct answer from the list that I have provided and explain the circumstances. NOTE: Under the set of circumstances that this could happen, the potential exists for the U.S. Navel ship to be commanded by a citizen of China who was the agent of a government that was not China.

Outta Here Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 4 hours ago, phkrause said: Yep!! Did you guess or did you actually know?? It was an educated guess. I used to watch Celebrity Apprentice and a rapper named "Lil Jon" was one of my favorites. I started learning about other rap artists at that time. As I recall, Tupac had quite a violent history, but of all things he was never convicted of murder. He, himself WAS murdered, but never convicted of being a murderer. As for phobias, I'll guess C. Water. Though some people don't like to take showers (take any 92 year old I'm related to, for example), most people aren't afraid to get into water, drink water, or play with water.
