Incompetent leadership and training lead to accidents are more than lack of sleep.

Maybe lack of sleep for John McCain was the cause he killed over 100 sailors on his carrier deck. Bad hangover may have played a part.

Yes. See my post above. Dammit. We need to train effectively, and that doesn’t mean taking a break to have dinner, or ending the drill so people can go to sleep.

This kind of stuff I read makes me steaming mad.

I hated drills. But damn. WTF? Learn how to go to GQ when an anti-ship missile is inbound?

Of all the things I have read over the past two years regarding preparedness in the military in general and the Navy in particular, this one really eats at me.

It indicates clearly the depth of the rot.
