replacing them with occupational specialty codes, as opposed to direct titles, effectively removing the word “man” from job titles in a roundabout way.

According to Navy Times, what this decision means in practice is that “Fire Controlman 1st Class Joe Sailor…would be Petty Officer 1st Class Joe Sailor.”

“We’re going to immediately do away with rating titles and address each other by just our rank as the other services do,” Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Robert Burke told Navy Times. “We recognize that’s going to be a large cultural change, it’s not going to happen overnight, but the direction is to start exercising that now.”

And in January, this pr!ck wii be visiting a Foot Doctor to have President’t shoe removed from his a$$.

WoHuU sounds like a surprised query.

Along with things to be tossed, this is something that can be restored in January after we get shed of the marxist, homo muzzie.

I suspect that that the study was just an axcuse to change job titles.

[Bubba_Leroy]

So how long before the words “woman” and “human” are replaced with “woperson” and “huperson”?

[knarf]

So THAT was the reason.

I should'a known, but I'm slowing down in my quickness department these days.

Whatever you do, don’t refer to dual hard drives as a “master drive” and “slave drive”. Make sure that your PC is pc.

>>I don’t know if you ever played any role playing games, never mind Warhammer 40000, but it really is something that under influence of political correctness our actual military is slowly getting even weirder than a space fairing empire where routine maintenance is shrouded in ceremonial religious mysticism.

In the company I work for, I supervise 6 SCADA technician/programmers for a utility that covers 1600 sq miles (I used to be a tech myself). We actually call ourselves the Tech Priests of the Adeptus SCADAcus. We have discussions over whether we are Electro-Priests, Lexmechanics, Transmechanics, or Engiseers.

In an earlier life, we were EM1, EM2, EW1, ET2, AE2, GSE2, and a civilian. We all believe that when Gen X leaves the work force, the power and water grids will fail. Any Millennial who is smart enough to do this work thinks they are too good to do it. You’re right about 40k.

That’s all that’s left

The shift gets rid of pesky job title names like “yeoman,” which the Navy bureaucracy had no idea how to make gender-neutral, thereby fulfilling a request from Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus to make positions more female-friendly to facilitate integration.

I guess "bros" and "hos" didn't make the cut. I can only imagine what "Petty Officer" could have become.

You mean women are no longer referred to as split-tails?

[A Navy Vet]

I suspect that will be an re-occurring problem. Have they given any thought about the claim it will expand a sailor's abilities and the associated costs for schools and training to do such? This idiotic change will cost millions and millions in additional training, not to mention the costs to the sailors to change their arm patches.

I understood the change from chambray shirts and dungarees to camis because ships are dirty, oily, greasy mechanisms. I can't count how many times I had to replace my working uniforms because of spots. And you had to keep one chambray shirt/dungarees pristine for inspections.

This is only to do away with the word "man" at the end of some ratings. Just change it to "mate" like a lot of current ratings and save the Navy culture and money. Also, what a bogus argument it will prepare sailors for civilian jobs.

They want NOS sailors to be "jack of all trades, but master of none". Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. No wonder I'm seeing SO many Navy recruiting commercials on various cable shows. They do that when retention is low.

Some time ago I heard of a report where an unusually high number of Millennials don’t know how to use screwdrivers....

Will we see a move to the Soviet style Navy where Warrant Officers are the skilled techs and all the Seamen are just wipers and oilers and POs are just wiper supervisors?

[RightGeek]

Not to worry, I'm sure they have some new ideas planned for the uniforms too.

[Petrosius]

So how long before the words “woman” and “human” are replaced with “woperson” and “huperson”?

Sorry, still no good. They end with "son." Try "woperchild" and "huperchild."

[Ronin]

Sailors are proud of their ratings, I know I was. My pride in making JO3 was in equal parts the promotion and the right to wear the quill and scroll. Every rating has its history, heroes, lore, traditions, and bitches. It’s all woven into the tapestry of history that makes up our beloved service. This idea sucks on so many levels I can’t even begin to describe them. It won’t last.

[Vinnie]

I guess the term ‘mate’ has to go. Implies a more intimate relationship.
How about ‘Gunners Acquaintance’.

[Clintonfatigued]

Well, well, we’re going to have a PC military after all.

We need Donald Trump, but even if he wins, he’ll face the biggest challenge of his life.
