Stethem, Jr. (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985) Rev: Stethem 1.0 Seabee SW2(DV) Robert Dean Stethem, Jr (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985) Since I am Navy veteran, and I will not sugarcoat this. WARNING, TISSUE ALERT! Note from Craig: Not everything is fun and games in the U.S. Navy. I made this post to teach future sailors about the Navy. We must never forget those that protect us. When your family members receives a phone call from you in boot camp it will come up with a “847 “ area code for Great Lakes on their phones. When it appears, they will jump with joy. Not many people know that this number, 847, actually brings a moment of silence from Navy veterans that served during the 1985 era. You see, that number was the actual flight number (TWA-847) when we lost a Navy sailor due to terrorism. It is one of the Navy's saddest moment. Seabee SW2(DV) Robert Dean Stethem, Jr (Nov 17, 1961 – Jun 15, 1985) Steelworker Second Class (Diver) Robert D. Stethem, United States Navy Sailor, was a murder victim due to terrorism. Born in Waterbury, Connecticut and raised in Waldorf, Maryland, he was one of three sons (his father and two brothers also served in the US Navy; his mother worked for the Navy as a civilian).

  • Antiterrorism Level I Awareness PDF Training
    Norwegian Labor Party: Oslo, Norway shortly after the 22 July 2011 car bomb attack. Situation - Lone terrorist kills 77 and wounds 161 in multiple attacks. On 22 June 2011, a lone terrorist, Anders Behring Breivik, conducted two attacks against governmental and political targets in and around Oslo, Norway. Before surrendering to authorities, Breivik killed 77 individuals and wounded 161. The targets for the attack were governmental buildings in downtown Oslo and a summer youth camp attended by children of the ruling Norwegian Labor Party. The goal of the attacks was to influence the Norwegian political atmosphere and punish politicians, as well as their families, for polices and legislation that allow increased immigration from Muslim countries. The attacks in Norway demonstrate the ability of a single terrorist to conduct near simultaneous attacks with devastating results. The attacks also demonstrate the use of indiscriminate violence to further political objectives and gain worldwide media attention. At 3:16 on Friday, 22 July 2011, a white Volkswagen Crafter stopped on the edge of a public square facing several government buildings in downtown Oslo, including of the office of the Prime Minister. After waiting for a minute, the driver emerged. Dressed in a police uniform, carrying a handgun, and wearing a police helmet and shield that covered his face, the driver calmly walked to another vehicle previously parked in the area. Approximately ten minutes later an explosion ripped through Oslo's government district. The car bomb, weighing almost 2,100 pounds, was heard throughout most of the city and blew windows out of buildings surrounding the square and up to a half mile from the detonation point.

  • Allsubmittalstogether-Final
    Sagas, Epiphanies, and Anecdotes: Sea Stories of the Class of 1957, U.S. Naval Academy Compiled by Bill Hamel ‘57 Introduction Our Class has published, in the summer of 2007, a wonderful book of memories called The First 50 , edited by Fred Howe. We included in this book a 20-page section entitled “Class History”. Not a real history, it was intended instead to be a collection of stories gathered from our classmates and presented in our historical context. In early 2004 we put out our first call to all hands, to write up and submit stories about their experiences. As we said in our rather unspecific “Guidelines for Class History Inputs”: “So should you or any other classmate wish to submit a personal input to the class history section, presenting interesting anecdotes, adventures, comedies, epiphanies, struggles, achievements, or reactions to the one-list, such inputs are welcome and are solicited. “Basically we are asking for Interesting Stories which we can integrate into a history section which will be informative and enjoyable reading for our classmates and their families.” Your response was gratifying. You sent in many stories, varying widely in tone, nature, size, and age – some 200-odd pages of them. If you have seen The First 50 you know that the Class History section is not very extensive – our bios take up most of the book, as they must and should. Thus we had to leave a lot of stories out, and had to condense/edit many that were used. As a result we were left with a collection of priceless stories, unpublished in our book, which might go nowhere and never see the light of day.
