gots to wonder how many competent military personnel were sacked in favor of these social experimenter types by this very stupid magic negro?
What a load of crapola. Any Chief Petty Officer in the Navy could have told him it was a crappy idea.
General McPeak did the same thing for the AF 25 years ago. He changed all of our specialty codes and regulations. I imagine the total cost was in the billions. The AF had to rewrite regulations, manuals, pamphlets, forms, signs, etc. Things were in total chaos for several years after that.
I was on a team that worked on the pre-runner for the Navy change-over after I retired from the AF. My job was to cross-reference Navy ratings and codes to Department of Labor job descriptions so potential employers could decrypt it.
