#8  Bowline is discriminatory against those who don't know to say bo-line or b-owe line.

Head is so sexist I can't even.

Why can't they do the Choose Your Own Adventure PE Course like the more illuminated Air Force? Not everyone is good at swimming or needs to know how. Not like we they aren't going to have Rachel Lavine vests, right?

#3  I've heard generally similar stories from recently retired Air Force friends and family. (Obviously not 'ship-handling' but loss of mission focus in favor of social focus.)

#1  Officers selected and promoted in a peacetime bureaucratic system rather than based upon wartime performance as we've been at war for 20 years. This is what 'equity' gets you. War is not fair or equitable.
