Too bad it’s all gone. Working in the job I do now, most of the female officers that I run into now are arrogant little princesses who need some serious bulkhead counseling and are just positive that they’re going to retire in 20 years as a 4-star (and they’re as pissed as a cat in mop water when they don’t get an award quarterly and they’re not told every 5 minutes that they’re the command golden-girl). Ironically, they act just like the perfumed little princelings that a lot of the guys have become.
Seeing the service achievement medals that are being given away to anybody and their dog PCSing and the Bronze Stars being given away to anybody within 100 miles of a flying enemy bullet is but one of the many symptoms of the growing problem.
EMB - so true! I was in the Nav the end of the 70’s when women’s roles were being ramped up and saw it all. I got out after having a kid and supported hub to 0-6. Recently found out two fellow female Os made it to 0-6: one was secretly pregs while in USNA, the other would screw over a fellow female in a heart beat to get you out of the way.
But they weren’t much different than most of the guys who went up the ranks...I know some who are up there now who would pop your pooch if it got them another star...
I guess it happens in all aspects of life...I just don’t know how they live with themselves in the end. Just delusional it seems...
