The message specifies, "This list must be held very closely ..."

And why would that be? Because you're getting ready to screw a bunch of people that really deserve the promotions?

This has been going on for a while now, folks. They're just getting more brazen about it.

I bet that he didn’t know what a sheet, reef, quoin, and tompon were either. I’m also guessing that that such knowledge was not required for his rating.

This policy isn’t new, to anyone who has been around for awhile. He just got caught. I doubt this is unique to the Navy either. Too many senior officers are politicians first and leaders last.

Retired July 1, 2010. Had a good run, enlisted in 1980 and just retired.

Thank God I am out now. There were probably 3-4 times that I decided if I didn’t already have so many years invested, I would have just gotten out. A few bad bosses, bad commands but stuck it out.

I can’t complain about our deployment schedules: I know cruises ‘before my time’ were far longer than 6-10 months.

No way would I have joined today in this environment.

Stands to reason. The more “diversity” in the ranks and OC the better Obozo can be sure they'll put down without any qualms or compunction, any trouble that may pop up among “right wing crazies”. Hell I saw a commercial for the Navy or the CG that was so “diverse” that there literally wasn't even one token white guy in it.

“Natch” thinks I.

Diversity - As sure as I am sitting here I know that all our ancestors including my dad didn’t fight and many die for diversity. Race & diversity has become the pinnacle of our nation. All our institutions espouse it. From our government, to our media to our churches. Silly me I thought honor, duty, integrity, hard work were what we strived for. What help to give us American exceptionalism. Apparently though all these years it was none of these. It really is and has been diversity. Diversity saves! Instead of rally round the flag boys it is rally round diversity boys.

Our nation is being usurped right before our eyes...

you're so right. the far left have now infiltrated the military, the church's and they did try the boy scouts but failed. What do they all have in common? All give morals and discipline in a traditional sense, yes sir no mam. Now we have idiots in the military who should not be, we have promotions going to people based on PC.

“I know that all our ancestors including my dad didn’t fight and many die for diversity”

I know that me and my kin and offspring won’t die for it now or ever; any heterosexual white person who would lift a finger to defend this “country” that treats them as criminals is insane.

It isn’t any different in the boardrooms and executive suites of the largest corporations. Senior executives are politicians first.

I'd say yes and also say he was the first recipient of flag rank pc.

Who was that crazy Female Captain who just got Demoted for Dereliction of Duty? Seemed to me she was another affirmative action appointee.

March 6, 2010

The Navy has fired six commanding officers since the start of the year — triple its usual monthly rate. The six commanding officers the Navy has fired since Jan. 8 represent an unusually high number for the service. A total of 55 commanding officers were dismissed for cause from 2005 to 2009, an average of 11 a year.

>>> Who was that crazy Female Captain who just got Demoted for Dereliction of Duty? Seemed to me she was another affirmative action appointee.

There are frequent threads on such removals. So if one woman was demoted cause she was an affirmative action promotion, what’s the excuse for the other 60, plus however many more added to the list since March.
