If you kicked out every Junior Sailor that said, "The Navy sucks! I hate the Navy!" there wouldn't be anyone left.
Junior Sailors bitch about the Navy pretty much constantly (unless there's a camera in front of their face. They're not that dumb).
Crap you beat me. I worried more about the guys who said they loved the Navy. THEY were the sketchy psychos!

True that. LOL
Snarky bitching and griping about the “Navy way” is one thing, and can even be considered as “situation normal”, however deep seated anti-military sentiment is an altogether different attitude which superiors should be on the watch for. It’s more than just a morale issue; its also about readiness.
Senior petty officers know what’s going on within the ranks and can sense toxic/destructive behavior. Its their responsibility to report it up the chain of command because it has the potential to put the mission and everyone at risk.
