"You operate the most complex platform on the planet and you continuously strive for excellence," New Jersey’s commanding officer Cmdr. Steve Halle addressed the submarine’s crew during the ceremony. "I’m amazed and humbled at what we have accomplished."
"Our superior professionalism is enhanced by our crew integration and our diversity," Halle continued. "We have exceeded expectations at every turn and overcome every obstacle set before us."

Marine Corps leaders are reportedly not convinced that transitioning to gender-neutral salutations would be as simple as the 739-page report suggests.
Biden Pentagon Orders Military Chaplains To Bless Putting Male Soldiers In Female Showers And Bedrooms, The Federalist : if a person “self-identifies” as a person of the opposite sex, and if the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) changes a person’s bureaucratic “gender marker,” a man claiming to be a woman must be treated as a woman, and vice versa... Revised rules also permit cross-dressing and other “transitioning” behaviors while in “on-duty status.”... regulations do not protect or even mention rights of religious liberty for chaplains and people of faith.

Countering this is the news of, The Pentagon Forming a Diversity and Inclusion Office, and allowing transgenders to serve in the military,
and with the Pentagon even ensuring free gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel,
while the chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer at the Department of Defense's education wing, a self-described "woke administrator," attacked a person for having the ""CAUdacity to say that black people can be racist too,"
while Army mandatory training now including training Army personnel to know what to do in such scenarios as when a soldier who was "assigned" a biological gender at birth says he/she identifies as another gender, and lives as such in off-duty hours, but is not requesting to be treated as such while on duty, versus if such later requests to be identified as according to their chosen gender during duty hours, and/or experiences increased distress relating to his/her gender identity;
while apparently as part of the Naval Sea Systems Command Inclusion & Engagement Council’s Diversity Team's video series called “NAVSpEAks,” the Navy posts video on "the importance of using correct pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of someone's pronouns"
as 'Keep Trying' — Naval Sea Systems Command Tells Americans to Advance Transgenderism,
consistent with "Navy Says Sailors Can Use Whichever Locker Room Suits Their Gender Identity,"
as well as the Air Force being with WOKEism in creating 'LGBTQ' and 'Indigenous Nations Equality' Focus Groups,
and also authorizing the use of gender pronouns in signature blocks,
and hosting a drag show at festival at Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE) on July, 2022, which also includes a poem on “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” and also posted a tweet celebrating Pride Month that depicted a U.S. soldier saluting not the American flag, but a Pride flag,

Which was followed by "Navy launches USS New Jersey, first gender-neutral submarine in US fleet ," designed to fully integrate male and female sailors. New Jersey’s commanding officer Cmdr. Steve Halle addressed the submarine’s crew during the ceremony, "Our superior professionalism is enhanced by our crew integration and our diversity."

while the US Army is teaching officers at the Command General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth that white people can’t experience racism. The definition of racism is taught in an elective course called “Race and Gender in U.S. Military History” which is available for up to 32 students each year. The course also defines gender as “a set of socially constructed characteristics, such as norms and behaviors, typically associated with being masculine, feminine, androgynous, or other.” “The Command and General Staff College is at the forefront of building Army leaders ready to fight and win our nation’s wars,” Camara told American Military News.
Then though in a somewhat personal civilian incident, a New Jersey mother was reported to local police by a U.S. Army Lt. Col because she criticized her child's elementary school for displaying posters in the hallway about sexual preferences. U.S. Army Lt. Col. Christopher Schilling also used his military title to engage in an email thread with U.S. Air Force Major Nathanial Lesher, who assured Schilling that he would forward his concern to North Hanover Township Police Chief Robert Duff "for awareness." Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst confirmed that it notified law enforcement about the exchange as part of "common information-sharing practice among law enforcement entities."

Also, last I saw, More Than 75% Of Americans Aged 17-24 Aren’t Fit For Military Service: (DOD) 77% of Americans in the above age group could not physically qualify to enter the armed forces – a 6% increase from 2017..CDC statistics also show that 19 percent of active-duty service members suffered from obesity in 2020, which is up from 16 percent in 2015. A U.S. Army general bluntly said that young Americans are either too obese, too sick, or too criminal to serve in the military. we have are obesity, we have pre-existing medical conditions, we have behavioral health problems, we have criminality, people with felonies, and we have drug use,” Lt. Gen. Xavier Brunson told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington.
And the Army dropped grenade throwing as a requirement to graduate because new recruits could not throw far enough. “We are finding that there are a large number of trainees that come in that quite frankly just physically don’t have the capacity to throw a hand grenade 20 to 25 [82 feet] to 30 meters."
Consistent with such, physical fitness assessment failures being now scrubbed from sailors’ records, a clean slate that will allow them to remain in the service,
and with lower fitness standards for women in the Army,
while nearly half of female soldiers are still failing the new Army Fitness Test,
Also, there is the Intellectual Decline of the Army Officer Corps. The size of the U.S. military in 2017 was half of what it was in 1990, and in general I think many signed up for the benefits rather than patriotism. 16% were women and racial and ethnic minorities made up 43%, and a poll from the Military Times and Syracuse University's Institute for Veterans and Military Families conducted in July 2020, 49.9 percent of 1,018 active-duty military respondents had an unfavorable view of the president, compared to about 38 percent who had a favorable view. That poll showed Biden with a 4-percentage-point lead over Trump

Yet despite conservatives being the most patriotic, the Army’s top civilian leader pushed back amid Republican criticisms that the military is going too "woke," arguing such critiques are deepening an already troubling recruiting crisis.

Lock a bunch of horny healthy 20 year olds in a boat for months on end. What’s the worst that can happen?
Up next, the announcement of the USS New Jersey daycare center.
No, it wasn’t. Most of the Silent were the REAL rock&roll Gen of Elvis and the last of the general pop crooner era. 1945 was the official end but the start was about 1925. They came of age largely in the ‘50s, while Boomers came of age/teenage in the ‘60s. It is well known hippies were Boomers. That a few stragglers came from the so-called Silent is not surprising, but it is not the norm.
We have exceeded expectations at every turn and overcome every obstacle set before us.”
Given that their method of overcoming obstacles for certain people has historically been dumbing down the course, I call BULLSHIT!
"Steady as they/them goes!"
Regards,
Yes it was, look up just about every young figure you remember from the 60s, activist, bands, musicians, all that you can think of, and then look at what generation they are.
The people we know from the hippies were almost all ‘silent generation’ people. People like, Bob Seger, Jane Fonda, John Denver, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Peter Paul & Mary, Grace Slick, Neil Young , Beatles, Van Morrison, Joan Baez, Jerry Garcia, Pete Townsend, Joe Cocker, Judy Collins, Jimmy Page, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Williams Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, Chicago Seven, Rod Stewart, Abbie Hoffman, Hunter S. Thompson, Malcom X, Charles Manson, Brian Wilson, The Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, the Jefferson Airplane, and the Mamas and the Papas, Jimmy Page, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, etc, etc, etc, just about everyone that you can name.
"Helmsperson! Steady as they/them goes!"

An explaining fact about the 60s that the average person overlooks, the 60s culture started in the 50s.
“During the 1960s, aspects of the Beat movement metamorphosed into the counterculture of the 1960s, accompanied by a shift in terminology from “beatnik” to “hippie”. Many of the original Beats remained active participants, notably Allen Ginsberg, who became a fixture of the anti-war movement.”
Sigh.
Stop concentrating on the FAMOUS PEOPLE.
I’m talking about the MINIONS, the regular people who gave them the AUDIENCE. Who SUCKED IT UP? The Boomers.
These people came of age in the ‘50s and incidentally, most of the new trend performers likewise were “Silent” Elvis, Chuck Berry Little Richard etc. but that isn’t the question. It’s about who grew up and came of age in this environment? Most people by their 30s aren’t bothering so much to listen to pop music anymore. I assure you my mother and father were not interested in Dylan or Beatles or Janis Joplin and their counter-culture garbage, much less were their siblings of the elder side of the generation.
Sigh, quit ignoring who made what we think of as the 60s, Elvis for example was right there with the 50s and 60s crowd who made the 60s, Elvis was 25 in 1960 and a peer of all the other 60s figures.
Submarine is the most masculine vessel in the Navy

If submarines are on longlasting missions they need to put in labor and delivery suites next to the sick bay.

Air Boss , a Dept Head (O-5) had a hottie 0-3 from Engineering. The Air Boss has a little stateroom right around the corner from Pri-Fly, where he works.
His Eng Dept. Hottie would come up there and fuck him.

That was 30 years ago, I’m sure it has gotten better !
We took the 10th Mountain Div down to Haiti , remember this was the Clinton years.
They had to lock a female Army chick up in the brig, she was screwing as many as she could for $$$ until they locked her up.
Clinton came to the ship and present a medal to 1 sailor , a smoking hot blonde Radioman, getting a personal award from the CiC, she was shoo-in for Chief (E7)
