Anyway, I can't blame servicemembers for despairing under the "leadership" of the groper-in-chief. But desertion is not the way to go.
Part of the active deconstruction of the United States of America. We are being actively destroyed from within
If a transsexual sailor is accommodated fully but detects a slight insincerity that sailor cannot be expected to be subject to the demeaning and literally violent red tape of leaving in an official (read slavery) fashion.
“Notice I’m gone? get the picture?”
Sounds like all they have to do is say they’re LGBTWXYZ and are feeling offended or oppressed or something and they’ll get transferred to somewhere else.
Imagine going in under Trump, proud to serve, then having to put up with this maggot infested piece of shi+ masquerading as the president.
I knew a guy that deserted, for an Irish gal
Not well informed about current conditions at sea. I’m speculating that reduced manning and eliminating the maintenance and repair of the ship and her systems leads to many long hours of standing watch. Doing only that for many long hours must be very boring. Being merely a systems operator wouldn’t be very satisfying and might lead to low morale.
Some of these deserters may be having emotional or mental problems. Others may have problems with a firm commitment to anything or to anybody other than themselves. The self discipline of freely taken committments are the first stepping stones to being an adult.
You don’t have to ‘like’ every single aspect of your job. You probably won’t. Just accept this duty as your job for the time being. People don’t ‘like’ paying their utility bill, but they’ll do it.
i’m sure change of command dint help...
Some have got to be for vax mandate; I wonder how many.
There are always desertions. It was so bad on my ship they relieved our captain of his command.
I had to fly to Spain to catch up with my ship. The man who escorted me to it, went AWOL as soon as we got to the gangway.
Navy-wide mental health crisis amid a spate of recent suicides
/\
What did they expect
after making service a sex change freebie to mentally unstable , uh, individuals ?
Even straight sailors who had to walk on eggshells around them or be called up on the carpet ?
Or all the conflicts of relationships when they put men and women on the same ship ?
Recipes for disaster
and the progs knew dsmn well all that would rot moral from inside out.
If they want to desert, it shouldn’t be that hard. Take a liberty while in Mexico and then cross over the non-protected border into the U.S. Even if stopped, you can apparently disappear and nobody will look for you, much less find you. Also be sure to ask for the welfare office. Plenty of “sanctuary cities” in Cali to choose from.
My dad was the “Leading Chief” in an A-6 Intruder Squadron
in the last years of his Navy career in the early 1970s during two long WESTPAC cruises on Yankee Station off the coast of North Viet Nam. He and the other Chiefs took care of their sailors.
He did what was best for each sailor and helped those who wanted to change jobs to do so.
Met several of his former squadron mates at a reunion three years ago on the USS Midway in San Diego. I was amazed at the number of his fellow Chiefs and sailors who told my mom and me how much respect they had for him. Even heard about a few times when he would chew out a few junior officers for some stupid stuff they did. One on them went to the CO to tell about. The CO told the junior officer that if Chief “Rattlesnake” chewed him out, there was a reason and he should listen.
His squadron didn’t have desertion or suicides because they knew their superiors cared about their needs and futures.
The entire US military is one woke hellscape. I never recommend to anyone to join at this point.
Contract!,,,,,,
Wokes don’t understand responsibility. Being on a ship turned out to be not like their parents basement.
.00045% is considered “staggering”? Ok then.
Right after I reenlisted for recruiting duty I found out about the Navy Absentee Collection Unit. These guys would go collect deserters and escort them back to their unit, wherever it was. I met one of them at the EM club at Subic. I thought that was neat as hell. I tried everything I could to get my orders changed but they wouldn’t budge. Not sure if it still exists. Once had a deserter come in to my recruiting office to turn himself in. I called one of my police buddies and he got a small reward for arresting him.
Who would join with the leadership? Especially if you are a white heterosexual man. You are going to be bombarded with constant crt from your black transexual CO.
Navy desertions have more than doubled amid suicide concerns, as sailors feel trapped by contracts
In my time, I never heard anyone call it a "contract." It's a commitment.
