It always seems they’re getting rid of extra seamen when a Democrat is in office.

Yes, get rid of your trained cadre to make room for the new gay recruits.

If I was one of these 3000, I’d start screaming that they threw me out because I was “gay” and then sue the bastards.

Deja vu Jimmy Carter all over again. 1978-1980 the Navy was almost paralyzed due to the severe lack of middle grade NCO’s.

I left the army in the 1973/1974 recession.
At the time my army buddies and leadership thought it was insane, but it worked out.

3000 sailors is not going to produce any relevant savings. Let a large carrier sit one of two days in port and the savings would be the same.

Because of the poor economy none of the branches of service have had any trouble filling their recruitment quotas for the past few years.
For those of you were in the service long ago, the pay has increased dramatically. In the Navy, there is little danger if you are not a pilot, SEAL or corpsman (corpse man to Obama), there isn't much danger. The Navy fought its last major sea battle in 1945.

Unfortunately, this move may lead to more homeless veterans.

I served in the Navy for 22 years. Rest assured that the 3,000 that will go aren’t the best and thr brightest. And they aren’t being fired, they just aren’t being allowed to reenlist. Trust me when I say that this is not a huge deal. Start worrying when the cut is 30,000, not 3,000.

How many of them could enlist in the Army or Air Force? Almost anyone who can get in the Navy, can enlist in the Army.
