My guess is that that this guy, and most of the others, can’t do the job.
They’ve been blindly promoted based on skin color even when they were unable to fairly graduate from high school.
Then they got into the service based primarily on their skin color even though they passed the other requirements only with the help of the recruiter.
The bigotry of soft expectations has created a whole slew of losers.
I read elsewhere that this fool is a boatswain’s mate, the saltiest (first and most traditional) rating in the USN. This was not a marriage made in heaven.
