In line with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s order for troops to have their workplaces searched for “degrading or offensive” materials—part of an attempt to curb sexual assault in the military—the Navy will inspect even its bathrooms.

While what’s degrading or offensive is open to interpretation, the material can include song lyrics and “inappropriate cartoons.”

In a memo sent on June 13, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered that all sailors, Marines, cadets and civilian employees have their workplaces searched by June 28.

The “comprehensive visual inspections” of the workspaces conducted by commanding officers will “ensure they are free from materials that create a degrading, hostile, or offensive work environment.”

Such items are “contraband,” the memo says. …

wtf is this all about?

[Past Your Eyes]

No more limericks on the sh!thouse wall.

[knarf]

Kilroy ain’t here no mo.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Plan on repainting the stalls at least weekly...

[Billthedrill]

Thank heavens! I was afraid they were going to check the heads.

If there is anything mounted on the bulkheads we don't have a sexism problem, we have an inspection problem. BTT

[Olog-hai]

They have the funds for the paint?

[blueunicorn6]

If they are looking for photos of boobs to remove, they’ll have to get rid of all those Obama photos.

[stormer]

First of all, the Navy doesn’t have “bathrooms”. And the next guy to use that term gets thrown out that little round window...

[gov_bean_ counter]

Of course not.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Probably Ridged Tool calenders.

[Timber Rattler]

What a joke...they're going to be inspecting the heads and port-a-potties for naughty poetry and artwork.

So this is what the once mghty U.S. Navy has come to...?

Pitiful.

[Olog-hai]

Welcome to Hagel’s Navy.

[grobdriver]

No more Playboy in the duty desk bottom right drawer, under the security reports.
:(

[himno hero]

Every one now have a problem with normal behavior.

Must be the fat, ugly, lonely lesbians voicing their opinion as if they are the majority.

I’ll have a corvette any day.

[schm0e]

oh, those are great.

[knarf]

They’ll NEVER get rid of the instant photo’s of obama(’s) after wiping !

[jimfree]

Hmmmmmmm. Where can we hide them?

[areukiddingme1]

Oh thank God they are cracking down on that...we wouldn’t want to have a senior military member diddling a 21 year old intern in the oral office or anything...that would be wrong, wrong I tell ya. Oh wait, isn’t that a personal matter or was it a private matter. WoW! Those dumbocrats are geniuses, they can find a problem everywhere but their own pants...

[tacticalogic]

That’ll put threads on your bolt.
