Director of naval intelligence asking if anyone else has heard about this Ukraine thing

SUITLAND, MD— The Director of Naval Intelligence, Vice Adm. Jeffrey Trussler, has been asking employees if they’ve heard about the Ukraine thing going on, sources report.

“The DNI came in asking if I’d heard of anything out of the ordinary going on in Ukraine,” Capt. Jim Porter said. “Obviously I hadn’t. I checked the news and wow, these kinds of things come out of nowhere, can’t they?”

The Office of Naval Intelligence, responsible for analyzing maritime intelligence and consuming 35% of the world’s microwaved taquitos, ground to a halt after learning something out of the ordinary was happening. Cryptological officers scrambled to tell their World of Warcraft guilds they’d be gone for a while, Chiefs told sailors to verify their SGLI, and Intelligence Specialists made a record amount of runs to 7/11.
