I mean, I know of at least 2 married couples that met while one was a student and the other an IP- one AF and one Navy. The Navy of said couples would go on CCXs together all the time. They're still married and have a kid, and are flying all a lot of different airplanes all the time. Pretty sure they were both SELRES VTJ IPs.

Love finds a way.
I mean yeah, points for realism I guess.

It happens but it’s fairly rare. The one instance I knew they met outside of work and were in different squadrons, so while not my taste I didn’t care.

I got more frustrated with male IPs who would refuse to go on CCX with female students out of fear they would be reported for…?

Meanwhile my (male) on-wing was dead set on going to Key West just the two of us while the other 8 crews went to Austin.

I think this already exists in those communities.
Did he not ask his Flag Officers about this?
We have a whole TSRA process that does this for every MOS in the DoD. He can't just rewrite that which he knows nothing about.

This is more administrivia that takes us away from actually doing the job of fighting, planning, or preparing for the next war/deployment/battle.

The punchline is that sex-neutral standards can’t result in a male SM getting a lower minimum standard. Therefore female SMs in combat arms, however that gets defined, effectively have to meet male standards regardless of the current standard’s ultimate applicability to actual combat effectiveness.

I mean, what part of making everyone reinvent the wheel and creating useless administrivia within the first couple of months of taking command is deviating from typical FO behavior?

SECDEF obviously wants FITREP bullets to screen POTUS.

Although to be fair, half of that is some O6 freaking out that he's gonna get DFC'd any time the boss just asks a simple question in a CUB.

No, and this is another example of our SECDEF's Army Company Commander worldview.
At least as a company commander he couldn't hire his unqualified younger brother to work at his HQ, or have his wife sit in on sensitive meetings with fellow NATO company commanders, I'm guessing...Or not get fired for texting out upcoming attacks on the enemy.
