Somebody should ask how Hunter Biden got a direct commission as an Ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve in the first place. A direct commission means no boot camp, no sleeping in barracks etc. Hunter Biden was over 40 years old when he was commissioned as an Ensign. Most Ensigns are about 22 years old.

Whoa. I didn’t know that. And that was right around the time that women were allowed to serve alongside men on ships. Or did Hunter have his own private ship?

There are programs where the Navy directly commissions people with certain expert qualifications. Public Affairs( no pun intended) and Intelligence ( no pun intended ) are two. There are age limitations which were waved for him.
