Blame totally on navigational errors and mistakes on the bridge and lack of understanding of how the ship moved. Redefines snafu.

This is what happens when the surface ships get the bastard stepchildren of personnel.

Everyone wants to be an aviator or submariner. Few want to be on a surface ship.

These results are nothing but a bunch of baloney. This is classic military lies.

I am so embarrassed. Can we blame Obama because he downsized; and tranny's had to run from the bridge to paint their toenails and watch 'finding prince charming' on the bravo gay channel?

With all the women on our boats now, who can blame sailors for being distracted. No time for drill when it’s time to party

Well, considering "emo" went out of style like 8 years ago, if he had any recent "collisions" with said girl, she would definitely be of age now

Nah. They make a shite-ton in bonuses and they still can't keep people in.

That's true. SWO is basically where you go as a default if no other community will take you. It's like the kids who graduate with a bachelor's in general education or something. I've known a few good SWOs, but most of the good ones are too unhappy to stay in so the mediocre and bad ones just promote up to CDR. The good ones that do stay in stand a pretty good chance of making O-6 or even pinning on a star if they don't screw up.

The Navy has a culture problem. Sounds like both of those ships were filled with undisciplined and incompetent shitbags from the top down.

Good point, but there are supposed to be smart people on the bridge.

It's the military. There are supposed to be smart people everywhere, but everyone in the officer corps who can is running to the civilian side. The ones who can't, cant because they're retarded. Of course there are exceptions.

I knew a logistics LT who even other officers called "Radio" because he was that imcompetent. I think he's still in and just made major.

I had a company commander who had no business being in the military at all. She had been given the command because at the time, there legit wasn't another eligible captain in the brigade (this was 2010). She ended up losing $5 million worth of army property because she had a supply sgt who was a crook and she never once did an inventory. When I was made XO I got to help with the FLIPL to find the company's shite. We found a containerized workshop (FRS) still on our books that was in Germany (we were stationed CONUS).
