The star of the videos, made in 2006 and 2007, is a former Top Gun pilot who now commands the same ship, the Norfolk-based USS Enterprise, which was deployed in the Middle East at the time and is weeks Gayle’s Tuxedo Rentals Moving to 623 Main Street Downtown Red Bluff from deploying again. The Virginian-Pilot newspaper reported on the videos in its Saturday edi- tions and posted an edited version of one video on its website. Capt. Owen Honors appeared in the videos while he was the USS Enterprise’s executive offi- cer — the second in com- mand — and they aired on the ship’s closed-circuit television. Honors took over as the ship’s commander in May. It’s not immediately known why the videos are surfacing now. The Virgin- ian-Pilot quoted anony- mous crew members who said they raised concerns aboard the ship about the videos when they aired, but they were brushed off. It’s clear from the videos that Honors had already gotten complaints when some of them were made. ‘‘Over the years I’ve gotten several complaints about inappropriate material dur- ing these videos, never to me personally but, gutless- ly, through other channels,’’ he said in the introduction to the video posted by the newspaper. In the same segment, Honors uses a derogatory term for gays. Next comes a sequence of what appear to be out- takes in which Honors and others curse, followed by clips in which he and others are shown making hand motions that mimic mastur- bation. Honors segues to the next segment by saying, ‘‘Finally let’s get to my favorite topic ... chicks in the shower.’’ Next are shown clips of pairs of Located at Buns On The Run Serving only the best all beef Hot Dog Stand 2650 Main Street Red Bluff In front of The Home Depot 8” Polish Sausage & Regular Hotdogs Louisiana Hot links EARN EXTRA CASH frito boat, chili cheese dog, chicken salad sandwich, specials shaved ice, mocha’s coffee, iced tea, lemonade, flavored red bull Pepsi, Mt.

Other clips in the video show a man in drag and a mock rectal examination. Navy spokesman Cmdr. Chris Sims said in a state- ment sent to The Associated Press that the videos ‘‘were not acceptable then and are not acceptable in today’s Navy.’’ Executive officers and other leaders ‘‘are charged to lead by example and are held accountable for setting the proper tone and uphold- ing the standards of honor, courage and commitment that we expect sailors to exemplify,’’ he said. Sims said U.S. Fleet Forces Command ‘‘has ini- tiated an investigation into the circumstances surround- ing the production of these videos.’’ BOOK BARN - Jan. 3rd We will be closed Dec. 24th for our annual holiday vacation.
