[all the best]

Above are Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr. who heads the Pentagon (left) and Presidential candidate and former Navy Lt. Pete Buttigieg.

How is that possible? Entering the military as a Navy Lieutenant. As a civilian. Without training. Source is Page One of Pete Buttigieg’s military records. Linked here: https://www.scribd.com/document/446733502/Poppy-Pete-Buttigieg-s-Military-Records-22-pages Who approved it? General Joseph Dunford or Charlie Flynn? Yep. Charlie is Mike Flynn’s brother.

Their own records of Buttigieg show he entered as an Ensign.
how about this:
They have a link as such: https://brassballs.blog/home/captain-pete-buttigigie-poppy-white-obama-pop-gun-powder-joseph-f-dunford-chairman-pentagon-joint-chiefs-of-staff-loa-letter-of-authorization-gs15-dia-defense-intelligence-agency-charlie-flynn

but he never made Capt. The photo with link shows he's a double bar Lt.(Double bar in Marines\Army\Air Force is Capt.)

What else is wrong with this article ?

After OCS and Flight Training and transitioning to jets all I got was a Lt-jg.. that’s an O-2

Well, at least you got to keep the jet, right?

Another crafted Manchurian Candidate. This one is to push the Gay Agenda and bash/guilt (attempt-to) Christians.

Gotta be for more than just pay. Such positions are, one would think, positions of Authority. They do have to be able to give orders. Rank reinforces that in a military structure.

Lol. He’s a REMF and a fraud. Typical RAT.

Yes, he received a direct commission as an intelligence Officer into the Navy, but that was because he was an expert on the Swiss Navy.

I can tell you exactly how this works. When Buttplug applied for a commission he had to have three things a degree appropriate to intel, a skill the Navy wanted and advocates. From Wiki “Buttigieg is a graduate of Harvard College and Oxford University, attending the latter on a Rhodes Scholarship.” He used his work experience and his impressive education pedigree to get a commission. Having worked with a few Harvard grads, they tend to get some pretty impressive recommendations from alumni. The Navy, because of his education and schools he attended brought him in as an analyst with the rank of LT vice Ensign or LTJG. This happened a lot during the war. I helped a few junior Sailors get commissions as intel officers and a few people get into the Navy Reserve as Advance Paygrade Intel. Most came in as Second Classes (E-5). In the Marine Corps or on a ship, an O3 is a pretty significant rank in Navy Intel not so much. During the war, you had more O4-O6’s (Major-Colonel) in Navy Reserve Intel then you can shake a stick at. An O3 is nothing and unless he was a Mustang would not have been an OIC of anything at a Reserve JRISE. In Afghanistan he may have been an OIC of a department consisting of junior enlisted from various services. But he is being misleading if he uses the word command. As an intel officer he worked in a secure building in Afghanistan. He may of had a team that provided analysis to a more senior officer who then passed it on for further analysis before it ever made it to the O6 or Flag level. If he convoyed it would have been between major base because they do not have a SCIF on a FOB. Why he would have convoyed is odd to me, but he may have already had political aspirations and volunteered for one. Buttplug received a JCOM medal because he was an Officer assigned to a Joint Command. The minimum award for an Officer was a Joint Com medal. Means he did his job and did not piss anybody off. Navy Junior enlisted had to demonstrate exemplary performance for a JCOM normally they got either a NAM or a Joint Achievement medal.
Finally, you have to understand Navy culture. O1-O4 are considered JO’s (junior officers) Unless an O4 has their Surface Warfare and is a ship driver they are just another JO. I knew Chiefs and Senior Chiefs who took commissions and told me later they missed being treated with respect and having the authority of a Chief. Most would not make out of the JO ranks before they retired. A few make Commander and even fewer make Captain. Most of those are in specialty fields, i.e Chaplain, medical corps, logistics or intel. As a Chief I was made the OIC of a site over an O3 because he was a Staff Officer (specialist) not a Line Officer (ship driver). So making him an O3 was no big deal to the Navy. He served and like any good Pfc gets respect for that, but no more.

that’s all after rotc and or basic, not just one day civi, next enlisted officer, as is case here i think

Hunter Biden got in the same way. They do it for some special jobs like Public Affairs and Intelligence.

[Seruzawa]

At times people have been commissioned into officer ranks directly. Usually when they had a special skill. Doctors have come in as LTs (Captains) in WW2 for example. Other examples exist. They are not given positions in the combat chain of command.

If you check his record, he seems to have had doors opened to him his whole career.

Nope.....a Sam-5 got it... it's at the bottom of the Tonkin Gulf

I think he went in as a hot dog catcher.

Had to match Obama’s gay quota??

Built on sand, as the old saying goes.

I thought butt gig was a lawyer by training. He could have cross trained into intelligence. I still don’t know, from the narrative, how he was commissioned as an O-3, only that it is not unheard of for that to happen.

When I was an E-4 in the USCG Reserves, direct commissions where being offered for Reserve Officers but it meant extra weekends with no extra pay.

A lot of teachers were reserve officers because they could train all summer.

Seeing his FitRep shows he came in as an Ensign so I stand corrected the Navy brought him in as an Ensign. What I stated is accurate, but he was not brought in at an advanced pay grade. Based on his UIC we were in the same unit at the same time. We had Sailors in Chicago, Detroit and Southern Illinois. I do not recall him but since I tracked funding for their orders, I would have dealt with him at some point.
