These contractors are likely hemorrhaging talent, can't keep up with changing requirements, and are handcuffed with Communist "Didn't Earn It" (DEI) requirements.

No they simply cannot hire enough trades. I was flat out told “people just don’t want to get up that early.”
Yes. The navy could help if it stopped requirements creep and last minute changes. But DIE has little to nothing to do with the problem and it’s just wish casting to say otherwise.
