Finally some sanity returning to the military

Quote:I don't know if you are/were in the Navy, but much of the tradition has been wiped out.  In my eyes, a "chief" in today's Navy is not a Chief.  Some of the "hazing" rituals actually served a purpose and taught important life lessons.

 

You're absolutely right, the conduct of the crew was embarrassing and a good indicator of why a PC military is wrong.
I spent 8 years in the Navy...The Navy has been built on tradition...It's rare to have much change happen...We wore almost the same uniform since WWII including the bell bottomed dungaree pants and shirt, and "boon dockers"  we still used the boatswain pipe for all events, reveille, sweepers,, breakfast, lunch, and, dinner for the crew, every daily event has its own tune to blow on the boatswains pipe...Then came Obama trying to change everything that means anything to sailors and it didnt go over so they changed it back...
