Extra "piss of the shoes" points for having a black piss cutter to go with it.
That's awesome.
His clearance was pulled because he is under investigation.
I believe all URL communities have warfare pins now. It started with the SWOs wanting something shiny like we have.
Yes, that's right.
Also, this.
Because I could never imagine Jim Stockdale or Bull Halsey ever doing that - yes a modern female officer who is a stickler for rules - sure. Tradition my friend
Put it this way - even if it meant deviating from the uniform rules, wouldn't we all always wear our wings above any other warfare designator ? (potential exception being the Budweiser).
It's why we wear brown shoes, it's why we stick it to black shoes at every opportunity - reminding them that indeed we are special
Seriously, what the fuck does being a man or woman have to do with anything in this regard? Or are you just throwing that out to feel better about yourself?
Maybe he thinks the flight physical tests for cooties or something . . .
because AIRPOWER is the best WARFARE capability!...............my opinion!!
Button-down shirt?!? I must have missed an issue of Navy Times…
You'll see "flight jacket in lieu of blouse" in shore-based staff "working spaces" a lot in the winter season if SDBs is the UOD…like it used to be in the Pentagon. Or used to, anyway…can't speak for today's "Action Navy". Probably personality-dependent on the senior leadership. I'm betting the Supe doesn't sit in his office wearing his SDB blouse on the banks of the Severn...

I would not have guessed that the Navy would be the service expressing concerns over litigation. Did a particular senior service leader get a chance to squash the memo, or did it sneak past him....?
This "fix" goes after a symptom and not the problem; why do so few minority officers seek the jobs in question? Much like STEM (and other diversity) initiatives, the best approach (as is usually the case) is not quick or simple; it would require concerted efforts focused on communities and outreach to historically underrepresented groups while they are in middle and high school.

I can't imagine a lawsuit being a real problem. The military does things and has policies that would never survive judicial review in the civ world. The courts generally take a hands off approach to the military. Where were the law suits over restricting women from combat, or subs? Where are the law suits claiming disparate results in SEAL training?
RLSO is right, of course. Fixing the problem in question requires years and marketing and outreach to educate and change perceptions.

False sir,
Navy Reserve Merchant Marine Warfare Badge was first authorized in 1915...granted they took it away from us a few years ago and replaced it with something lame..
No way! Now that is a bit of history that has been long forgotten. And the current one is a bit busy I think.
