What a coincidence. Let’s see, what has happened in the last few months that could’ve influenced Navy bras into a new way of thinking?
I still don’t understand these, and the Wikipedia article doesn’t help. Ratings are kind of a mix of your rank and your Navy mos, but not for everybody? How are you supposed to know how you refer to anyone? Navy ranks are already ass-backwards as it is. We don’t call each other ‘Cavalry scout’ or ‘supply sergeant’ or ‘NBC dude’... You just say’ sergeant’ or ‘specialist’ or ‘sir’. Anyone can recognize your rank, no matter what unit you’re from or what you do.
Yes indeed it is a happy day- Can not believe they even thought about changing it in the first place because of friggin political correctness gone amok-
the only problem is that the next democrat that wins will very likely force them into the pc crap again- but for now at least, it’s a fantastic victory for the good guys
Even the corpse men?
Does that mean that I can be an:
STSCS(SS)
Again?

AMEN! This is great and hopefully the first of many such reversals!
Good. The Navy is the Navy. It has Traditions, something 0bamorrhoid idiots will never understand.
The Navy could do it or Trump would do it. I guess the Navy bet on the wrong horse. This is the first of many of the stupid PC items that must leave the military.
Now if only the would bring back my old rating, Radioman!
Another win!
My arms and legs are a little bit sore from jumping around and waving but ‘I ain’t no ways tired’ yet.
Very happy about this, from a retired IT1....
Now throw Mabus out on his a**.
Thank goodness, another dumbsh*t obama idea out the window.
The Trumpster siumply cannot erase the brainless obama legacy quickly enough.
One begins to feel like those post-Brezhnev communists watching Lenin’s statues being pulled down.
You have to wonder how much money
Was wasted in this example of PC
Stupidity. Forms reprinted, etc.
Despite his MANY faults as POTUS even Jimmy Carter understood restoring tradition in the Navy boosted morale. His administration brought back the Bosun Whistles, Crackerjacks, and other traditions. The first Bosuns whistle I heard was from a ship in Norfolk naval shipyards in 1978 and within a few days {for re-training I’m assuming} they were used on my ship. I’ve seen a picture related to this story and the sailors {junior NCO’s E-4 & E-5} are wearing khakis with an Army type cover and Crows on their collars. WTH is that another Obama administration stupid idea?
Removing this nonsense is not enough. Heads must roll.
I bet someone asked President Elect Trump about it. He probably told them not to be retarded and reverted the ranks.
