SLG

[OnMyWay]

Anybody know what SLG is?  These guys look young for Senior Leadership Group.  Shore Leave Guard?

There were hundreds of sailors / marines in Harbor Point mall tonight.  I said hello to one USN guy, but I heard others speaking that funny Australian language.

Aussie navy used to do an exercise out of Subic with the US, South Korea and PI navies every year around this time but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.  SLG isn't ringing any bells though.

Could it be this?

Ok, got my answer from my local expert.  Dex Ognita is my local driver that I have recommended here and a few of you have used.  He has contracts with the U.S. Navy and has security clearance to drive on the dock right up to the ship.  He is also a semi-expert on all things military.  He said there are no Aussies military ships in port but there might be some Aussie yachts training here.

SLG is U.S. Navy woke speak for Shore Patrol.  Shore Liaison Group.

Ships in port:

USS New Orleans, USNS John Ericsson, USNS Big Horn and we're expecting Millinocket, Rappahanock and Brunswick by next week

That's related to the vocational training in general, not defence specific.  In the case of the linked document VET stands for  Vocational Education and Training i.e. trade schools and training, or anything up to and including what you yanks know as an associates degree (up to two years full-time study).

SLG in the context of that document refers to Senior Leadership Group so anyone from captain/full-colonel/group captain and above, or what the yanks would know as O-6 and above.  The guys in Don's picture don't look quite old enough..

Mystery solved!

Huh? Shore patrol was somehow offensive to someone?  Other than when you get dragged away by them I mean... Of course I only ever heard of this happening to other people, never experienced it myself..

USN whooping it up!  The two in the middle are USN and the other 3 are locals who were performing.
