#1 Navy leadership has to step up and tell when the Navy is being compromised by serious problems. No matter what the personal consequences.

#3 But I'm sure all personnel have their "diversity training" certificates, LGBTQWTF sensitivity awareness, and all of the 307 new pronouns (with more on the way!) down pat, right?

#4 This turns the ship. This makes it go faster. Let's see if you guys can get to Japan using the GPS. Just keep it on the blue line.

...If just ONE sailor implicated in either one of these incidents turns out to be under trained (or not trained at all) but they're 100% up to date on their Social Actions training, then people need to go to jail for gundecking the training, and SECNAV needs to take the opportunity to shut down the stupidity - "People are dead and ships are crippled because we can't get our priorities straight. Once we've done that, we can talk about social actions."

Would be nice, but not sure it's even possible now.
