The USN training programs and systems "just work" . Individualized, rating-oriented assessment and remediation have evolved, through necessity of reliability so, legacy certifications and accreditations, from disparate institutions, must be counted as a measure of (literal) aptitude, rather than as assurance of abilities and performance. Navy schools screen and remediate for "suitability" and most specialized training programs acknowledge a significant rate of attrition as a matter of fact. Those who are unable to qualify as a nuclear specialist, will, most-likely, be channeled into less stringent curriculums, such as Deisel Propulsion Specialist, with accelerated advancement in rank (and pay), upon practical qualification.
That came off as the most classy dis i have ever read about a US Navy Engineman or GSM. 😢 Ill keep it classy as well in saying Frankly that i dont much think i much like you much for that Phrank. ❤ Also, on the GED or Diploma subject it seemed that you could still join without it but as a deferment only. You would still be required to get a GED after completing basic training. I havent read policy in its entirety.
Our surface community is doing a fine job in the Red Sea. Just out of curiosity, why did the Navy buy the Zumwalt class and the LCS? Heck of a waste of money. (Hey Big Navy, you used to sponsor the "88" NASCAR team.")
I know nothing of this subject personally. Just from reading/watching/discussing all public information. Dale Jr. visited my Division at Great Lakes back in 2005. Of course he was smaller than we expected in person, but also scattered in a hurry when we got a little too hype during our moment and someone happened to fall back and hit their head on a rack and opened it up pretty good. Also, the LCS has had allot of growing pains and outright failures. Sounded like they got them sorted out at this point but they are still not built or engineered well enough to transit Blue Water routinely. Fail point in that sense. If they were built for the Littoral waters then they should stay there. Chained near the coastlines and used when and where they were needed. Modularity in design won't cover down for the Sailors needed to operate in those changing environments with such a small crew compliment. As a Reservist it was a bit off putting how much they pushed on us for billeting requests given their history. The Sailors (Enlisted/Officer) that went thru the inception of this program deserve great praise. They were pushed to the limit, scrutinized and judged for their performances in a program that was apparently not right from the moment it was thought up. It was so close to great, but the Military Industrial Complex is in need of its own Soul Searching Dreamquest of you will. Same as we are all embarking on since around 2015.
If by a fine job you mean blowing up huts and drones and failing to stop the Houthis from disrupting shipping... then sure... fine job. If you don't mean that... then I don't know what you are talking about. The USN is a sitting duck in the Red Sea. It lives there on the sufferance of Russia and Iran. The Navy can float there just as long as it takes no action that pisses off either of those two parties. So the Navy blows up huts and drones and the Houthis have shut down Israeli ports. Great job.
UN used to dominated Iran at Iranian coast in 90s，now only has competitive advantage on Yemen coast who don't even have a Navy. direct energe weapon need integrated electric propulsion. With aging fleet, and dying shipbuilding industry，where you gona put those direct energy weapon on？
Too much demand for a ship already afloat. Maybe this was another idea for the modularity of the LCS program. Regardless, drone and small boat threats arent going away. However, neither is the gray hull warfare requirement. Unmanned systems applications of these weapons systems would be amazing. To not put Sailors at risk to counter these nagging yet lethal threats they pose. Like the Indian Air Force. No sense in putting multi million dollar aircraft in the sky if they are going to be required to visual confirm threats before engaging. Logic must be incorporated into allocation of tax dollars if Sailors are expected to utilize them in a practical and efficent sense.

Great job.
Did anyone ask this dude when he thought we might win a war instead of retreat from one?
