If those cuts go through the Navy is going to lose a lot of experienced seaman.

These guys are the backbone of the Navy. This is scarier than the purging at the top.

Are they being cut on a seniority basis? Or is Gordon Ramsay going to come and run a reality TV competition where they cut a few each week?

I guess this purge means the NSA is finally done going through each and every one’s Emails, phone calls, etc., to isolate the hardcore patriots for 0bama’s hit list.

Sorry, but elections have consequences.

America you elected this anti-American, communist, liberal piece of trash - twice! When we are left with a shambles of a military that could get its ass kicked by Monaco, Zero will have accomplished his ultimate goal.

Hopefully I'll be dead and gone by then, and all the under thirties that voted for this imbecile can live with the consequences.

There are always plenty of qualified sailors to take their places.

Yeah .. well ... I know if I was headed for the chopping block, as I closed my locker and Fred was next to me, I'm positive I'd be saying something to Fred ...

"Y'know Fred ... he's IS trying to kill the navy ... don't you think we should DO something ?"

Chiefs are more low level managers than anything else. They can be replaced.

"There are always plenty of qualified sailors to take their places."

Depends on how "qualified" is defined.

I think you're thinking with your old school brain ... as most of US are ... but consider how selective the military is these days and consider what may be advanced ... and advanced enough to "take their place"

I'm not secure
