Graf is a classic example of how effed up this PC crap is.
One big eval criteria for officers is enlisted retention within their command.
It’ll be interesting to see if the enlisted males (and, iirc, enlisted submariners cost the Navy a LOT more to train than their non-bubbleheaded bretheren) start voting with their feet when their enlistments run out. And if so what happens to the careers of the female officers.
Good point.
Time will tell the tale.
Truly. I worry about the danger to the crew— the people who volunteered for this duty, worked long and hard to learn the technical skills to do it, so that the whole crew will be safely conducted to their combat area if/when the time comes.
There is NO room for the prima donnas (male or female) in command structure. They cannot flaunt or accomodate biologic differences and expect to get the degree of readiness and capability this sophisticated vessel demands. Someone is going to get killed— maybe a lot of someones.
I got called a prima donna. I was a rider.
I gave all those plank holders a wide berth.
My dad was on a mine sweeper - I believe they were named after diving birds (he was on the Merganser).
Well you know what I mean- not the “I’ve been here since commissioning heirarchy. Speaking in terms of the “newbie” PC command that has what they think is the real clue— but not the right one in a tight knit team. Imagine the demands on a captain and his exec. Would love to see the training in school.
The erosion of the COBs who know the boat. Who would stay with this crap coming on. That rank is in serious jeopardy from all that I’ve heard. There is a madness in this PC crap for the sake of the politics of “looking” right. It just isn’t, and we should look to nations that have tried it, and stopped.
Just tried to sell my mom’s old IBM Selectric (LOL).
Typewriter repairman.
Thanks for your service. Real glad John Walker finally croaked, and his other kinfolk out at Butner Federal Correctional. What a complete nothing of a person who jeopardized our nuclear deterrent at the least, for money.
And also the continuity of technical training- in running the boat, weapons, special equipment....submarine training.
Ye olde selectric, well known to me.
NNNN
