Navy Won’t Remove ‘Midshipman’ Title Because It’s Enshrined In The Law As A Rank
Daily Caller ^ | December 9, 2016 | Jonah Bennett

The goal of the job title review Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus initiated back in January is to make women feel more included now that they have access to all combat roles, but the reason midshipman will remain in its current state is because the name is a rank stipulated by the law, Capital Gazette reports.

.
In late September, the Navy announced that it was ditching historic job titles and revamping the entire system, in effect removing an element that made the Navy unique from other services in the military.

.
.
Sailors have reacted in a largely negative way. A petition to reverse the change reached 100,000 signatures, prompting the White House to weigh in on the matter, but unsurprisingly, the White House backed the job title system change pioneered by Navy brass.

How about not naming Navy ships after gay pedophiles?

I don’t expect that refusal to last very long. The Navy has already shown too much willingness to bend on other traditions and customs. The hammering away will continue
until strong resistance is shown and maintained.

Objection: Too restrictive a title. The ‘person’ portion implies that the student is a human, an unnecessary species restriction. we are looking to be inclusive!

Don’t worry. Jan. 20 is close and this kind of BS will be done with.

Midshipman is a rank in the Navy. They are not Cadets. They are Officers in the Navy and have commanded ships.

There’s already a ship named the Harvey Milk. Transfer requests are big...

Time to quit naming and rename ships named after homosexuals and socialist icons. If Her Heinous had won we would have a USS Saul Alynski and Fidel Castro.

“The ‘person’ portion” also contains the word “son” which is a trigger for all those who are not “sons”

LOL So the only logical (and I use that word very loosely) rank would be Midsheeple.
