Exactly. Navy is more even but not 50% hence no expectation of 50% of
anything. 'GI Jane' aside in the movie, we don't have any female seals
because none have made it. We do have plenty of female SB (closest
thing to a Seal). Generally, we females are representative based on
percentage across the job areas of the Navy. Higher percent than Army
by far. I'll check but I think it is 30-35%?

Of course, I will follow up regarding *******s in the military, these days it's like a "Bull Dykes Gone Wild!" tacky reality show, pretty disgusting!

Popeye Katz claims all navy officers are homosexual. It'll be
interesting to see if your research bears him out.

I can imagine. According to Gary, he should have been more respectful
because he was the president.

Equal rights. Women want equality everywhere else. They want equal pay,
to be equally represented in management, company boards and in politics.
I thought there had been some sort of unwritten law on military
promotion that emphasized combat experience.

Here you go again with that "princess" nonsense. Hell, he wasn't in the
country when I was born. I never set eyes on him until I was a year
old. He brought me a teddy bear. When I was in the 1st and 2nd grade
he was in Vietnam.

You didn't know my father, Gary. He wasn't shy about expressing his
opinions. You didn't hear him railing about the "ignorant Georgia
Peanut Farmer" (Jimmy Carter) who was the Commander In Chief. I did.
Was that respectful? Nope. He would have saluted him, sure. He
wouldn't have liked doing it.

You have no idea. He took orders from his immediate superior officers.
The President didn't show up to give orders on the battlefield. You
also assumed (very incorrectly) that because he was a commissioned
officer he sat behind a desk. The two Purple Hearts, a Silver Star, a
Bronze Star and Legion of Merit medals contradict that. Would you like
to see them? I could take a picture.

Or I could just show you this:

https://valor.militarytimes.com/hero/40764

He's even mentioned in Wikipedia articles. Sat behind a desk my ass.

He'd give a crisp salute because that's what Marines do. He'd also be
thinking "what an idiot".

"Semper Fi" has nothing to do with who is President. It means "Always
Faithful" (or "Always Loyal"). To the country, not to the President.

I don't like it and I know my father wouldn't like it, either.

Marines swear to protect the Constitution. There is that bit in there
about following the orders of the president but he would not have been
getting orders directly.

I was a little surprised when my father was talking about his prized
possession. His parents and been born in England and at the time he was
born all Canadians were British, but he never seemed to be a staunch
royalist. His most cherished possession was his DFM. It would have
been a DFC if he had been an officer at the time, and he was
commissioned later on. What made it so valuable to him was that it had
been touched by the king.

Paraphrased poorly from a years ago Usenet post on a mythical glitter bear
repellant:

Glitter Bear Repellant identifies the bear that you had to spray.
Black bear: Look for a bear that has glitter on its head and chest.
Grizzly bear: Look for signs of glitter in its scat.

Something like that.

Yes. To the _country_.
The orange man is only loyal to himself, not the country, and expects
his followers to be loyal to him.

One thing I know about the military is this:
If an officer plans a military career and hopes to
advance to high rank, they need some
combat experience in their record.
Attending the military academies right after high school
damn sure doesn't hurt either.

I've always suspected that this is why women in the military
wanted to be allowed in combat. To have a chance to advance.

OK then... And my father (career Defense Dept and a lifelong
Democrat) about JFK but he was still the "boss."

Anyway, the military officers support any current president,
more exactly the office that any idiot might be elected to it.
Personal opinions aside, he is their Commander in Chief.

There is a similar story about how hikers should wear metal bells on
their feet so the noise will scare the bears away. They should also
learn to identify bear scat. It is tubular and looks like human crap.
Black bears are omnivorous and their scat often has bits of berries and
seeds in it. Grizzly scat sometimes has little metal bells in it.

I think you meant to say so that they could have the same
opportunities as men?

No. I think that he meant what he said... that the way to advancement is
to have combat experience. That proven performance in combat has always
been a factor in advancement in the military. If women want to have the
same advancement opportunities they should have the same experience that
men are expected to have.

that's what I said. The difference is that your reading of it is
skewed by your bias against women

I have a bias against women?? I have always supported equal pay for
equal work. I have supported equal opportunity. I don't have problems
with women advancing in the work force. Nor do I have a problem with
minorities having equal opportunity. I only ask that they be expected
to perform equal work for equal pay. I am not a big fan of people being
hired or promoted primarily to fill quotas.

I worked for the government long enough to see how it worked in
practice. Job competitions came with a statement about them being an
equal opportunity and what women, native people, francophones, people of
colour were invited to self identify. In other words.... we can't ask
you your race, gender, culture etc.... but less us know. I always
worked in what had been male dominated fields and over the years I had a
few female bosses. A couple of them were good. One was an idiot. Given
the nature of those who aim for management positions, that is actually
pretty good.

My point was that he would have saluted his commander in chief
no matter who held the title at the time. Respect for the
office, not the person.

I have plenty of idea. The President gives the orders and that

Settle down, princess. You told about your father's rank and

to be proud of.

Yeah, I know. those second class citizens couldn't possibly be better
qualified than a white guy.. It was all rigged . So dinosaurs are
still alive.

Military saluted the uniform, not the person wearing it.

I didn't say that could not be better qualified than a white guy. That
would be hard to judge if they are rated on different scales. How is is
supposed to work? Are white males in the armed forces expected to have
proven themselves in combat in order to get ahead but women and non
whites don't have to have that same experience?

FWIW I grew up in a very white Canada. The larger cities had China
small towns and most cities and towns had at least one Chinese
restaurant, but just about everyone else was white. I saw only a
handful of black people in my youth. It wasn't that he all disliked
blacks and other people of colour. They just weren't there. That
started to change in the 60s and 70s when we started to have a lot of
immigration from the West Indies and Asia. The area where I grew up
went from being almost totally white to being very diverse.

All cops were white, because everyone else was. They also tended to be
large men because they were expected to have to be able to carry their
own if situations got violent. There were minimum height and weight
requirements. There were a number of black men and south Asians
recruited, but east Asians and women had a hard time meeting those
standards.


It was time for change. They argued that modern police methods had
reduced the need for brawn for cops to do their job, so recruits no
longer had to meet that minimum and weight. It was shortly after they
dropped those standards that I had to attend a course at a police
college at the same time there was course for their new recruits. There
were lots of tall and heavily built white, south Asian and black men.
There were also quite a few women and Chinese men. Curiously, the only
people who would not have met the old standards were the women and the
Chinese. There were no petite white men, no petite black men. For some
reason, they still had to meet the old standards. One might have
expected that if those old standards were no longer relevant a small
black or white man should have fit the bill. Go figger.

Not quite like that. There was, but it was 20-25 years ago. It had
more to do with could not get orders (duty station assignments) to get
you ahead. Example: Data Processing Rate, US Navy. 1983. 5 billets
navy wide for femaes at sea. 2,500 or so DP's. Close to 50% female.
We hit 70% of the remote duty stations that counted as 'sea' but didn't
get to an actual ship. We gained rank, but slower at the upper levels
due it.

I didn't have the experience level at sea as a counter part male over
20 years, until I hit the 22 year mark (then I had more but late in
career). My lack of experience at sea in the early years, hampered my
ability as a more senior enlisted and only overcame it later.
