On the one hand, they don’t get to run nukes, electronics, etc. without first successfully completing the associated ‘trade schools’ and qualifying on every aspect of the thing they’re going to be running.
On the other hand ... idiots are not going to successfully complete that training, and the Navy may well be the most technological of the services. If they recruit a bunch of untrainable, unqualifiable idiots ... what is the Navy then going to do with them?
What are they going to be, cooks ???
All the blacks ??? Hardly....
The military is DEI now...
They’ll go to the tech schools and get gifted a “passing grade” to run those nuke instruments...
and outrank the smarter white recruits with HS diplomas shortly thereafter...
-a bunch of untrainable, unqualifiable idiots ... what is the Navy then going to do with them?-
They will rinse dirty pot and pans and put them in the dishwasher while a highly trained sailor will push the start button.
I was in the USAF during Nam
I know how it was even back then...
....there used to be a saying in the Air Force that
our jets were “Designed by folks with PhDs and Masters
degrees, were flown by folks who had college degrees,
and maintained by folks who had high school diplomas.”
Well, I guess the Navy is heading away from having high
school diplomas, at least for some ratings (you probably
don’t need a diploma to become a Ship’s Serviceman or
a Boatswains Mate....)
Deck apes, paint and barnacle chippers immediately come to mind.
