Good. To spend millions on fricking name changes is sad and would have been a deeply troubling sign of where our priorities stand. Words, names, and titles are all bullshite, and its weird that the PC culture has thrived on non-physical "progressivism"

STUPID THINGS THE PC CULTURE CARES ABOUT
Changing names
Calling proper pro-nouns
Changing bathroom signs
Policing "hate speech"


REAL WORLD ISSUES PC CULTURE IGNORES ENTIRELY

Healthcare
Water crises
Famine
Financial burdens (healthcare a big part)
Clean/safe energy


If we all die of starvation, poor health, and lack of water, polluted atmosphere, or war, the names and pronouns and bathroom signs WILL NOT KEEP US ALIVE.


Jihadist will kill any westerner all the same, transvestite, quantrestite, bisextransgenderqueered, gender fluid etc. THEY.DO.NOT.CARE.

Until all of the shite listed under the real world issues is resolved, the name shite will have to take a back seat.

Many years ago, the United States Army decided that experienced, combat trained, infantry soldiers who had achieved the level of "corporal" (just below sergeant on the NCO scale) and who could lead men in combat would be called "Specialist 4th Class". Same as the guy with 5, 6, 7 years of service in Germany or California who changed spark plugs in a truck. Go Navy!

I'm pretty sure the PC culture embraces all these things...

I just wish Trump would go in and roll back everything in the military to the way it was before Obama took office in 09 and introduce legislation to keep politicians from treating the military as a social experiment.

What exactly is this and what does it mean for someone who never served in the armed forces?

This seems to be a case where some Officer who hasn't sailed anything larger than a desk thought it would be a great idea to align Navy Jobs with civilian terms while making it easier for the Navy to stick you in an unbilleted/unrelated field. F that...

The Navy rating system is a time honored tradition. As a young sailor it was a point of pride when I graduated "A" school and was able to sew my rate onto my sleeves.
