I agree with you. Yet here we are.
I am sorry about that, I read the context of your post wrong. You were in that “This is the reality of the situation” mode.
Heh. I tend to have no other mode!
I don’t know what you are talking about. I was talking about the Navy being PC in general.
The reason he got out had a bit to do with unit cohesiveness. But, it also had a great deal to do with the Navy giving the best assignments to those pilots who didn’t make the grades. They were being “fair.”
My husband went to the PAC fleet right out of the training command. So, what good was it for him, career wise, to accept anything less for his next tour of duty? Even though he had the best fitness reports among his peers?
He was offered an accelerated promotion in rank...two years early...if he would stay in. It’s too bad that the best pilots left the Navy during that time due to PC thinking on their part.
Then you have no opinion and don't know what you are talking about.
In the Navy, we had very effective ways of resolving these types of issues.
