Unfortunately for you, someone somewhere messed it up for everyone. Go to the Navy Safety Center and read Friday Funnies. Absolute retards. That's why.

Every so often, there's some true stupidity on there, but most of the time it's just some asshole making fun of people who were trying to do their jobs. Most of it is along the lines of, "A Lance Corporal was trying to secure a latch on an aircraft and fell off his ladder. Guess he learned the hard way that the law of gravity hasn't been repealed." Har, har. There are a few leave and libbo incidents that are mildly amusing, but most of them aren't too far outside the meat of the bell curve on the stupidity quotient, especially considering the bulk of our people are males, 18-25.
Most of these things are along the lines of "doing something." Because we're "Type A" (I'm convinced that most people who use that phase have no idea what it actually means, like "delta"), motivated, in-charge types of people, and because our bosses are the same, we feel compelled to show that we're
doing something even if we have no freaking idea what to do and have no idea whether our actions will actually solve the problem. The Secretary asked his people to give him a solution to alcohol incidents, motorcycle safety, and health issues. Generals and Admirals don't have any more capable idea fairies on their shoulders than anyone else. They came back with,"Well, we can add some more rules," and so it goes.
