the navy has to bear the entire bill. t's going to take about half of our ship doping budget every year. i don't want to pay for one navy ship over another navy ship so i'm going to try to protect shipbuilding. we have been talking about this publicly. even they have to get plussed-up or we have to get the national funding congress has established the national fund. they haven't funded it yet but as i said we have got until 2021 to come up with an answer here. if we built those we would also and we take the money out of ship holding we would not only damage greatly our service fleet but we would also damage our tactical some rain. >> general martin dempsey chairman of the joint chiefs of staff plans to retire later this year. there is lots of speculation about who will fill the spot including talk about burying commandant general joseph dunford. can you offer any insight and what input do you and the secretary of the navy have in helping the president to use military leader's? >> i think i have a lot of input on the comman

not having school not having college, i knew if i stayed in the navy, the first cutback would get me. it just did not make sense to do that. it made sense if i wanted a navy career to go get a college degree and go back to the navy. but i got the chance to go to school, got the chance to go to law school. i always intended to be in politics, though. my uncles were both sheriffs from local county until about 1941 when we all went off to the service. i decided then that i was going to be in politics, i was going to run for sheriff when the war was over because my dad lost his car during the war. they pulled our car off, and there i was, skinny. i wasn't anything to look at. i just decided that whatever i'd it, i was going to do something that you had to have a car. at nine or 10 or 11 years old or 14, i decided to come back and run for sheriff because my uncles knew they had to have a car and i wanted a job where i had to have a car. it wasn't that i hated lawbreakers and wanted law and order -- i wanted a job where i would have a car so i intended to come back and run for sheriff, so i

i was at the very first army/navy, my very first army-navy. by the way navy won. that's been true for the last 13 years. that doesn't make it special or anything. i watched as the corps of cadets mar mped out. that's one of the most moving things you can see. women wearing different uniforms, a different color. we have changed at the academy and we're in the midst of changing the uniforms across the navy and marine corps so when you see out you see american sail sailors and marines. if we ask any other group to wear a different uniform, imagine the trouble we'd be in. this is symbolic in terms of not segregated women and making sure that they are the heart of our force. in 2009 i set energy goals for the navy. it's got some great side effects in terms of being better stewards of the environment. we're betting fighters because of this. we're going to be there on our shore bases this year. we're going to be five years early. by the end of '15 half of all naval services. we don't particularly care what the source is. energy is a vulnerability. it's a as a rule ner blt

i did not want to stay for the extended period of time to become a navy aviator. five years instead of six. thought i would try that. david: you knew going in, it was the five-year instead of the six-year commitment. now it is a five-year commitment if you are a pilot. going in, most aviators at the time, they want jets. they want to fly jets. senator tom carper: i like the idea of landing on land every night. the idea of sleeping on my bed. being on a ship and trying to land, floating landing strips, that was not what i wanted to do. i wanted east coast. i wanted to be close to oh

and in terms of, you know, the whales versus the navy. nd, in fact the huge irony that i was able to uncover that really was an untold story is that the navy really invented the whole discipline of marine mammal science, that before the navy discovered and confirmed that dolphins and other small whales toothed whales echo locate and have what they came to call biosonar, nobody cared about whales except whalers. this is back in the '50s. [laughter] and nobody knew anything about whales and there were no seatologists or marine mammal scientists. so the navy started pulling people like john lilly anybody they could find who they could hire to study these animals. so what emerged was a story where they were trying to reverse engineer this biosew or far that these whales -- biosonar that these whales had developed to hunt and navigate in the dark depths of the ocean. so the supreme irony here is that downstream from that research was created these super sonars, if you will, that were in fact driving whales onto beaches. so it was just too juicy

it the can-do spirit, the navy can-do spirit. we thought we could do anything. when i got in my slot on active duty, after we left, we thought we were the best around. we were good. david: the, certainly, the analogy is fishing, you have to have patience. i imagine being a mission commander you have to exhibit some extreme patience as far as listening to the data and putting it together. senator tom carper: patience on the part of the officers but great patience on the part of the enlisted crew, especially the people who for six or eight hours are analyzing the acoustic data, looking for the line on a page to see if maybe that could be the clue you're looking for. the patience they had and the fortitude for staying on the job. that was impressive. i worked with some terrific people. good on active duty but i had to some guys, jim, the chief petty officer, he was so good. david: discuss the active-duty when you deployed overseas. you talked about flying out. of moffitt. you made three deployments to southeast asia. where were you b

the secretary of the navy at the time, i called him. i asked how you get through to be secretary of the navy and still fly and stay current in the airplane, and he says he has a special waiver from the chief of naval operations. i said that's what i want. i did not want to be paid, but i wanted to continue to be able to fly the airplane and stay current in the airplane and fly the missions. i got to do that for -- gosh another 12 years. stayed with my squadrons continue to fly. one of the great ironies is you and a how you trade airplanes back and forth from active duty -- they get older and trade them down to the reserves keep maintaining the planes and a gravy avionics and electronics and they are perfectly good airplanes for a long time -- upgrade the avionics and electronics and they are perfectly good airplanes for a long time? one of the planes i had in the patrol squad, when you are the plane commander or mission commander of the aircraft, the tactical coordinator or flight engineer, you had your name printed on the other side of

we are here with the veterans history program to discuss your career in the navy reserve. today is the 14th of september and we are on capitol hill. thank you for your time. i would like to open up the floor with a question, talking about your youth and your interest in the military and what eventually lead you to the navy rotc program. senator tom carper: my wife says that i never grew up and i hope in a sense that i never do. i grew up in virginia, my dad worked for nationwide insurance. it was in gamble, virginia on the north carolina border. i was in the boy scouts. my father encouraged me to attend and i did scout when i was 12 or so. the first time i ever sat in an airplane was at the civil air patrol, indicated that took off beside me. off into the wild blue yonder. i was always intrigued with the military, my dad had been a chief petty officer in world war ii and in my family, nobody ever

not for himself, but for mary jane, the wife of the secretary of the navy. one of mary lincoln's few close friends in washington. and he sealed it in an envelope, wrote her name on it, and later, she framed the lock of hair with dried flowers that adorned lincoln's coffin at the white house funeral. so that was really the first blood relic taken from abraham lincoln in this room by secretary stanton. then, it was time to bring lincoln home to the white house. so the secretary of war sent for what was needed to convey -- take the dead body of a president to the white house. soldiers returned from a military shop a few blocks away carrying a rectangular, plain hide box. a rifle crate with a screwtop lid. and so, when those soldiers rounded the corner and came up 10th street with that box, the crowd moaned because they knew intellectually, that the president had died. they saw the cabinet members leaving. they knew. but the sight of that coffin was the real reputation of their hopes that lincoln could live. so that coffin was taken down this hallway and laid on

primarily she wanted to try to fly and have a medical condition that was precluded from doing that in the navy that the air force had different standards. she had done in exchange at the air force academy and was also very interested in states. it was a total fluke that we ended up in every branch that was never intentional, but it kind of fits with each of their passions and what they wanted to do in the active duty military service. >> host: who do you feel that your audience is for the buck? >> guest: i speak for the moms and dads. i said i know you care just as deeply but my first audience is the moms. they know they are not alone and they can be encouraged and inspired and we could all share information. in my website but i am trying to do is build a community where moms can be supported and find information because we don't get family readiness briefings or get out support that comes from the traditional military so that is my first audience. my second audience is the greater community. i wad you to understand what this is like and i want you to realize it isn't the same as sending your

they are building specifically in the navy and air force. because they understand the importance of protection of the global areas and you start to see them operate globally in different places, which the not operate years ago. they told us over and over again that they believe that the south china sea is the historic territorial waters. they have, as far as i understand, refused to participate in international legal venues -- you know, the filipinos have a case at the u.n. law challenging the line. as far as i know, the chinese have refused to participate in that. so what they are doing is they are through what they articulate as peaceful means, they are building these land reclamation's, they are establishing their position in the south china sea, which opens their options down the road as this thing conditions -- as the situation continues to unfold. >> i'm at a time, a one-word answer, do you believe it would be beneficial to the united states to a seatbelt law of the sea treaty? admiral locklear: yes. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. chai

and the navy has an autonomous fighter jet that can take off on its own and land too. ea is that a group of these aircraft could be dispatched on very long-range very dangerous missions. carrying bombs bigger than current drones can carry and flying as fast as regular fighter aircraft. you wouldn't have to worry about losing a human pilot and robot can maneuver better. right now robots can guide themselves in the battlefield, and make recommendations, but they aren't pulling the trigger everything. the next step is doing everything. it's already sticky enough when you have a robot that can do everything except actually pull the trigger. what human right's watch and other organizations are worried about here is we're entering a new world, a world in which the robot takes care of everything including the killing itself. >>> jake ward in san francisco. >>> nearly 50 victims of the 2009 shoots at fort hood have received purple heart and defense of freedom medals. an emotional ceremony was held this morning. dozens of survivors and family members received the medals. the arm

guess that when you go to the naval academy you can select the navy or the marine corps in their limited number of activities. my daughter ended up cross commissioning to the air force primarily because she wanted to try and fly and she had a medical condition that precluded her from doing that in the navy. the air force had different standards. she had done an exchange at the air force academy. she was also interested in space so she was allowed to make them across commission. so it was a total fluke that we ended up with children in every branch. it was never intentional. but you know the kind of fits with each of their passions and what they wanted to do and the active duty military service. >> host: who do you feel your audience is for this book? >> guest: my first audience is military moms. i say that i speak for the moms and dads. i get these e-mails from dad saying well what about us? i say well i know you care just as deeply about your children but my first audience is moms. they now that they are not alone, that they can be encouraged and inspired and we can share information en
