We civilians must take a variety of mandatory training. We get EEO training and sexual harassment training once per year, for example. This hasn’t hit yet, but here it comes....
And yes, DOD has been pushing the word “diversity” around quite a bit, and adding Diversity Committees to the already existing EEO Committees. From what I’ve seen, the Navy uses the term “diversity” heavily, but has not articulated what they mean by the term. Perhaps deliberately.
In other news, The U.S. Navy and NAVSEA are proudly announcing the “Green Fleet” and bio-fuels programs on their Facebook pages.
We get mandatory training, too.
Fortunately the monthly “group diversity hug” is still voluntary. I’ve been boycotting them since Black History Month three years ago (right after Obama’s election), which was a thoroughly angering experience.
I keep telling them I’m boycotting all of them until I get Amish Heritage Month. ;-)
So... does the Green Fleet float?
