NAVY Does Away With 240 Year Tradition (No more ratings)
Posted on 9/29/16 at 11:35 pm

quote:
The Navy deep-sixed all of its 91 enlisted ratings titles Thursday, marking the beginning of an overhaul of the rigid career structure that has existed since the Continental Navy in a radical shift sure to reverberate through the fleet and the veterans community beyond.
quote:
Sailors will no longer be identified by their job title, say, Fire Controlman 1st Class Joe Sailor, effective immediately. Instead, that would be Petty Officer 1st Class Joe Sailor.
quote:
The move also strips the titles airman, fireman, constructionman and hospitalman, titles that will be also replaced by job codes. The title seaman is the sole non-rated rating remaining, for E-3 and below.

So I will no longer be referred to as AWO2, I am now PO2 along with everyone else. This begins the pussification in the military and further proves we are the governments test rats. This may not seem like a big deal to many of you, but those who have serve will understand.
Please help us get our rates back and sign this petition:

This SECNAV is a total frickhead. Rates are your identity and they're just going to wipe that away because he feels like doing it. Talk about a complete disconnect from the enlisted navy.

seriously, frick these SJWs and their treating the military as a social experiment in diversity and fairness.
Successful militaries throughout history have been made up of ruthless men who were tough and hard and not wearing kid gloves.
All of This neutering will get boys killed on the battlefield.

Mississippi should be fricking embarrassed that two of their own actually had semen and eggs that was capable of producing a traitor piece of shite like Ray Mabus.
frick that a-hole for turning the Navy and Marines into a glorified PC SJW experiment. But really, he's a symptom of Obama and his utter contempt for the military.
I can't wait for Trump to make the military great again.

I haven't met a single person on Pearl who is happy with this change. It's dumb and seems to be change for the sake of change.

How many days must the American people endure the news media and political heads telling us we are intolerant of other races, other sexes, other genders etc.?!?!?!
HOW MANY?!?!?!
Just like the USS Harvey Milk
WHO CARES IF THEY'RE GAY!
Why, oh tell me WHY does it matter? Why do these people go out of their way to bring this up again and again? I have never been against gays, or other genders, and I have never discriminated against them, but why must i be told that I do?
I feel like I'm being brainwashed, or someone is trying to brainwash me.
What percentage of our population is LBGTQ? I just don't understand these things. Are they desperate for more female enlistees?

So you're going to be in line with the other service branches?
Why am I supposed to be upset about that, again?

At first glance, I thought that said "You're a fricking hero"
I had a brief moment of joy and happiness. I pulled the razor from my wrist and put away my D&D character.
I was going to leave the basement and face the world outside. I was going to be something!
Then I reread it.

Does it say why the hell anyone wanted this? Makes no sense. I bet it was the yeomen.

It's more like a garbage man wanting to be called garbage man rather than city employee 3rd class.
