A Bleg…

I’m asking my readers to please assist us in this endeavor…

We’re trying to stop the PC BS games being played with the Navy over the rate/rating removal to remove ‘man’ from the rates/ratings…

Restore the Traditional Navy Rating Specialty Titles Disestablished on 9/29/2016

Created by R.W. on September 29, 2016

For 241 Years Navy personnel have been identified by their Job specialty, known as a “Rating”. The oldest rates such as Boatswain Mates, and Gunners Mate predate the founding of this country. Being known by your job title was a sense of pride. A sign of accomplishment. The Secretary of the Navy and Chief of Naval Operations just senselessly erased this tradition. One only has to visit Navy social media pages to see the disgust and outrage of current and former personnel. One by one current leadership continues to erode the very things that set the Navy apart from the other services. Mr. President, I and the others signing this petition request you use your authority to restore to our Sailors what they have earned.

The link for the petition is HERE!!!

Thank you in advance for your help!

  1. Thanks for the link to the petition Old NFO. Read about the idiotic decision last week in one of the defense news online sources, was appalled by the stupidity (or is it cupidity) of the current crop of brass monkeys in the pentagon. E pluribus unum is more than a quote on our currency, we should all be concerned over the deterioration of tradition which is after all, nothing more than a distillation of what has been proven to work within human nature over millennia.

  2. Deplorable??? Deplorable??
    Anyone reading this blog, by definition is not only deplorable, but irredeemable, indefensible, and stupid to the point of being crippled. Just ask the corrupt, criminal progressive ( ? ) she-bot who’s political party is causing all this politically correct bulls–t.

  3. Waiting for the verification email to show up.
    Not only deplorable, but I have been deployable, and deployed!

  4. Done. Clearly the “great one” has stocked the Pentagon with ass kissers & yes men!! Just wait until our Special Forces become well stocked with transgender troops!!!!!!

  5. as a former jarhead i am more than happy to sign this after seeing the way this administration is rapidly chipping away at my sister services cherished and time honored traditions

  6. All- Thanks, and yes we are ALL deplorable… By definition, because we stand for America and the Constitution as written!

  7. Signed!

    Even this Coastie will help the Navy when truly needed.

  8. I signed it. It’s not going to help though. He loathes the military and this was intentional.

  9. I posted the link in baen’s bar too. That should get more signatures

  10. Done deal, and I signed using my real name. I read this story earlier, and didn’t believe it. Now, I have truly seen everything.

  11. MJ- Thanks, today it looks like the petition picked up 6,000 votes. If this keeps up, we’ll make the 100K requirement.

  12. If it’s okay for a zoomie to sign it, I’m in. It’s kinda like pouting water on a rock, bUT at least we tried.
