Micheal Christopher Estes; bomber’s military records updated

| December 19, 2017

Last month we wrote about Michael Christopher Estes who attempted to bomb the Asheville, North Carolina airport in order to start a race war in the United States. Luckily, he was arrested before he trigger his homemade device. According to Heavy, Estes claimed on his Facebook page to be retired from the military.

We got his Marine Corps records last month. It appeared that he had about two years of “bad time” for being a deserter;

Today, we get his Navy discharge and discover that he had 3 years and nine months in that service as a submarine repairman. It looks like he spent 3 years and 4 months at sea aboard the USS Dixon, a submarine tender, including a stint in the Persian Gulf earning a Southwest Asia Service Medal with one service star – probably for service during Operation Provide Comfort.

He claimed to have been retired from the military in 2014, in reality, he had less than five years of service and two years of being a deserter and left the service in 2002 after he was punished for being a criminal.

Bi-Service criminal terrorist shitbag…

MMFN? Serious high speed shit right there.

Hopefully he was in Engineering and not in the Repair Department when he was on the Dixon.

If he was in Engineering, he probably spent his days looking for: a BT punch; a bucket of steam; a Kingsley/Gangley wrench; access hatch to propeller shaft strut bearing; and fuel for the hot water heater servicing the scullery.

But what would I know …

How about a spool of pipe threads, left handed monkey wrench, key to the main engine and 12 feet of waterline to check the draft numbers on the bow of the ship. A-GANG SNIPE 4 ever.

Lawrence Todd

I did not know there were left handed monkeys

Marine 0331

Or a box of grid coordinates? Or a shoulder holster for a 106 recoiless rifle?

A box of Ground Guides for use in the Motor Pool.

Sea bats. Don’t forget the sea bats.

My personal favorite was the time I sent a nub to go find a 10-lb. water hammer. He almost missed getting underway.

And some EW bearings

The elusive mail buoy.

Graybeard

A box of grid squares, some relative bearing grease, and a bag of exhaust samples for the mechanics.

The elusive left-handed smoke shifter, as well.

Buckeye Jim

Go see Charlie Noble in the galley. He knows where all of that stuff is located.

NHSparky

Nah, he’ll just hand him a fish and tell him to go feed the shaft seals.

Monkey Watch going through the Straits of Gibraltar is also a very important job.

A Metric Crescent Wrench, some cable stretching oil, a Shit Shaft Plug, Blinker Fluid…

And I was Army, some of the things I sent a fresh Joe looking for in the Motor Pool!

Still looking for that last box of RY’s

Ex-PH2

30 feet of chow line, a bottle of smoke, a gallon of mustard gas, someone’s pet spider.

I know a guy that was sent to ring a yard of flightline and proceeded to drop a yard of asphalt on the desk a day later

…and if you can develop a reputation for not being a prankster, the results are so much more fun.

…requesting permission to blow the MPA is a critical task for junior rates.

A Proud Infidel®™

Or send them to HQ to help blow the EWO.

OWB

Oh, sure. Being a deserter is so close to being retired.

Not.

Yes, the US military loves to give lifetime pensions to deserters. Maybe that is why Bergboi is appealing.

I conducted the “Billy Bob ScienceTific Eye Closeness, Forehead Acrerage, and Ear Size and Position Intelligency Computation”, here are the results:

Eyes: Very Close – married 1st cousin twice. Score – 3

Forehead: Very Large Area – Forecepts were used incorrectly. Score – 2

Ears: Very Wide and Low – ear size increases with decrease in brain size. Score – 3

3 + 2 + 3 = 8 x 2 (# of useful ears and eyes) = 16

IQ = 16

Hmmm, so what you’re saying (in Army terms) is he’s about as swift as a 5050-00-965-0264 or a 8340-00-261-9751./s

MCPO NYC USN Ret.

Precisely.

Thanks for the US Army conversion.

And a 6515-01-020-0032 would fit nicely over his head.

Claw

Roger. One size fits all, even those with Dumbo ears.

((Over))

Ex-PH2

You guys all beat me to it. I got nothing but admiration for your perceptive responses to this news.

On another note, Estes is a whackjob, and a dangerous one at that.

Roger in Republic

This guy came in too late to have been one of McNamara’s Project 100,000 guys, but obviously the same quality recruit. I hope the Navy and Marine Corps has raised its standards. at lest a couple of notches above “Shitbird”

Probably will seek compensation for checking track tension on an M1 Abrams, buoyancy and draft on a surfaced boomer, looking for a roll of flight line tape, locating the switch to turn on the range fans, hammering the side of a Bradley looking for soft spots, locating a can of frequency grease and bringing 2 quarts of dihydrogen monoxide.
