Slow Saturday Special: Navy Nannies

"Many of the students are enlisted sailors who arrive in their late teens and early 20s, and when they arrive in Groton, there is a sense ‘‘ofwhere’s my Navy mom and dad?’ ’’

Before we proceed any further, we gotta get something straight: Your mamas are not here to take care of you now. It's just you, me, and Uncle Sam.

"Navy seeks to adapt training for millennials" by Michael Melia | Associated Press   September 27, 2014

GROTON, Conn. — The US Navy is looking for ways to adapt its training for millennials, young people raised in a child-centric culture who want and expect nurturing relationships with their bosses, the commanding officer of the submarine school in Groton said Friday.

Well, undo their fly and start sucking.

Captain Andrew Jarrett, a self-described member of Generation X, said that as commander of the submarine school he has made it a priority to focus on mentoring.

‘‘For millennials, it’s very important for them to have a relationship with their boss, just like they had with their parents,’’ Jarrett said during a talk with a submarine veterans’ group. 

Had? The military the real mom, huh? 

This so smacks of the Nazi Germany I have been told about by my ejewkhazion $y$tem.

‘‘They don’t want to be friends, but they want you to care about them and give them feedback.’’

The military may have been the wrong place judging by the V.A.

While some see the craving for feedback as a weakness, Jarrett said it could be a benefit if it is embraced by the Navy. He said the chief of naval operations has indicated his office is reviewing changes that could help tailor training for the new generation of sailors and officers.

Our military now filled with a bunch of pussies?

‘‘That’s where we as a submarine force are struggling a bit,’’ said Jarrett, who added that some junior officers have had a hard time adjusting to Navy ways.

Is it the anal sex and rape on board?

More broadly, Jarrett said he has been focused on emphasizing ethics at the submarine school.

In this empire?

In presentations to students, he said he reviews the cases of disgraced officers, including Commander Michael P. Ward II, the former commander of a Connecticut-based attack submarine who faked his own death to end an extramarital affair.

Lot of that in the military.

‘‘We don’t give our kids clear enough messages about right and wrong,’’ he said. 

I blame the mixed me$$age media and all the lies, and speak for yourself.
