Posted on 09/15/2024 6:56:38 AM PDT by McGruff

The U.S. Navy commissioned a new submarine on Saturday, the first vessel in its fleet designed to fully integrate male and female sailors.

The USS New Jersey, a fast-attack Virginia-class submarine, was commissioned during a ceremony at Naval Weapons Station Earle in Middletown, New Jersey.

"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."

Military.com, 2020: Here's the Marine Corps' Plan to End Gender Segregation at Boot Camp. The Marine Corps was tasked with explaining its short- and long-term plans for integrating recruit training, which was mandated by the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act. Signed into law in December, 2020. “Gender integration at Marine Corps Recruit Training remains a top priority." “The outcome the Marine Corps desires for gender integration is for every male recruit to train alongside a female recruit within the same company.”” All-male recruit companies trained solely by men will be made “obsolete,”

Top Marine stresses need for more female infantry officers, research on 1-year paid maternity leave 2/25/2020, 5:18:38 PM · by jazusamo · 87 replies The Washington Times ^ | February 25, 2020 | Douglas Ernst The nation’s top Marine, Commandant Gen. David Berger, took to social media Tuesday morning to stress the service’s “most important matters.” Yet to get an abortion=murder their child, Navy service members are to be reimbursed for travel expenses and if they need to go to a different state they can be provided with up to three weeks off, with pay.

The Blaze, December 22, 2022: Marines told to stop using ‘sir,’ ‘ma’am/mater’ to avoid ‘misgendering’ superiors The University of Pittsburgh received $2 million to conduct the study, which examined gender-integrated recruit training in military settings. "The Army, Navy, and Coast Guard effectively de-emphasize gender in an integrated environment," the report claimed. 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. Nor do they provide options for doctors, nurses, and other medical personnel who object to transgender ideology on moral or ethical grounds.<

Moreover, based on Defense Medical Epidemiology Database (DMED) diagnosis codes related to transgenderism, tthe number of occurrences in active-duty military is on the rise—and it’s an exponential rise.

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,

and the Army arms itself with a woke recruitment ad featuring lesbians at a gay wedding and an LGBTQ pride march,

and the CIA funds a 'cisgender millennial with anxiety disorder' campaign, and with the

Marines and Navy as well as the Air Force and Army posting messages on social media supporting gay pride and Pride Month,

with the former posting rainbow bullets, and the latter a rainbow colored arm and hand in salute (essentially to the flag of Sodom)

and with the Navy naming a military ship after the immoral gay rights leader Harvey Milk, and (now) with a transgender veteran christening it,

along with the Navy's first all gay U.S. Navy helicopter crew,

as well as enlisting a drag queen, who is an active duty sailor, in a “digital ambassador” program aimed at targeting a wider array of potential recruits through digital platforms like Instagram,

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."

In the same demonic spirit, U.S. Army Announces the Allowance of Lipstick, Nail Polish, and Better Breastfeeding

Army Secretary Champions What’s ‘Important’: Making ‘Marginalized Communities’ ‘Feel Included’

The Army Will Force Female Soldiers to Shower With Biological Males,

and with military generals calling for Increased Diversity and More Women in Combat,

and changing its song to be gender-neutral,

and Forcing Marines to Make Boot Camp Coed,

and feeding cadets cultural Marxist propaganda about gender and masculinity therein,

to its new diversity and inclusion operation from West Point

and for its Special Operations Command ,

while showing a rapid response readiness to engage in online combat with the likes of Tucker Carson and other such enemies

thus nuking Jesus-themed candies on an Air Force bases

(although turbans and hijabs are allowed,) stop making faith-based Dog Tags,

and prohibiting service members from “liking” or reposting "extremist" views on social media (depending on all the circumstances involved) as part of its prohibition against actively engaging in extremist activities,

Which behavior is consistent with working to rid the military itself of “extremism

such as the head of the US Space Force unit being fired and put under investigation for criticizing Critical Race Theory,

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."

O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens. (Ezra 9:6)

Which shame has as its capstone of damnation not only paying for troops and their family members to travel for abortions but the promotion of the abomination of homosexual unions and its relations, which are overall deleterious to individuals and the nation, thereby essentially saluting the flag of Sodom, as of United States of Sodom:

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

Arkin.official military polling shows that fewer and fewer young Americans consider the military as a career or as a transitional step – only some 12.5% – the lowest number in a decade.

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.

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.

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.

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.

1000% negative results

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.

The E-4 that worked in PriFly would take his E-3 girlfriend up to the AirBoss’s room and fuck her

The E-4 chides the O-5 for not changing the sheets and their being a wet spot .

Women at sea in a nutshell, many more instances

A E-8 from Weapons watches a sex tape , a homemade sex tape that a girl ( E-2) from Supply Dept made with a (E-3) AO in Weapons Dept , anyways the E-8.
Plays the tape in an office in front of 20 subordinates. The sex tape was filmed onboard the ship in one of the Weapons Dept Magazine spaces.

More ?
Orgies being held on the ship while it was in the shipyard. Someone faxed a television station with that juicy little tidbit. Funny thing is, is the fax was sent from the Ship’s Admin Dept.

Captain had reporters shoving microphones in his face, lol The Captain was like Baghdad Bob, “There are no orgies,” yet he took 10 or twelve people to Mast for that very thing.

Lesbians would size up any new chick on the block and try to screw her.

Chicks were turning tricks, showing up in formation , a uniform inspection no less, with jizz in their hair from the bj’s she giving to two guys right before falling in rank.

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)
She had a E-5 lover who was on the Admiral’s staff

I could go on. A total disaster
