Of the many idiotic plans put in place for the military during this administrations tenure, few were up there on the absurdity scale with a scheme to rename a number of jobs in the Navy because their titles contained the word man or some variation thereof. This piece of political correctness was supposed to make women in the service feel more comfortable, particularly since weve begun jamming them not only into combat roles for the Army and Marines, but serving on warships and even submarines as well. The offensive titles included things such as corpsman, yeoman and boatswains mate. (Its pronounced Bosuns Mate for those of you who dont spend much time at sea.)

Now that little mouthy faggot bitch-boy is no longer going to be pretending to be a president, the military will not have to put up with this irrational and childish nonsense.
Yeah this one was funny when I heard, first thought was “What we gonna get rid of Human?”
All the corpse-persons will be so sad
Yes!
The key word is “ABANDONS” plan. Finally, someone with some backbone.
Of all the things the Navy has done that make me grit my teeth (and some of those other things are, operationally far more serious) the move to change the ratings system in the Navy is one of the most stupid, shortsighted, and wasteful I can imagine. It serves no functional or good purpose, and is only meant to pander to liberalism.
The Navy has lots of problems, but one of the things the Navy has is rich tradition, and some may disagree, but in units driven by morale, tradition means something.
Just ask the most successful, the USMC, if tradition matters. It does. And the Navy wanted to throw that all out the window...for what?
Yes. They can see the handwriting on the wall. After 1/20/17 things will change.
This crap is going to last about 38 seconds into the first term of SecDef Mattis.
I don’t think so. It looks like they realized there was a new sheriff in town. It was stupid to waste time and resources to satisfy a politically correct bunch of liberals. Where were the senior officers when Mabus did this? Looks like the new CIC needs to do some deep selecting to lead the troops.

“Backbone” whould have been standing against this insanity when it was first purposed.
In some ways, it’s already January 20th. :-)
Ergo, Yoeman Rand
To be relieved of duty like all the others.
Trump can’t get into the White House fast enough!
Amen. And get rid of Ray Mabus, the Leftist moron who has been camping out as SecNav for the entirety of the Obama occupation and doing his worst to destroy the U.S. Navy.
“Oh man!”
Man oh Manischewitz, what a wine!
LOL! I remember that.
