Navy Requires All Sailors to Undergo Transgender Education
Oh yeah, THIS should help slowing retentions.
Navy Requires All Sailors to Undergo Transgender Education by July 2017 - Breitbart TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images by Katherine Rodriguez18 Sep 2016 An all-Navy message sent out Tuesday says that all sailors will be required to undergo transgender behavioral education by July 2017. Starting Nov. 1, the training will educate sailors about the Navy’s new transgender policy that allows transgenders to serve in the military, Military.com reported. “This training will emphasize policies and expectations of personal behavior,” the message states. It is unclear what exactly is in these training sessions yet, but the Navy will soon send out messages with more information. In the meantime, leadership is putting together a commander’s tool kit that will guide training, said Lt. Jessica Anderson, a spokeswoman* for Naval Personnel Command, to Military.com. “Service members are expected to maintain standards of conduct and treat each other with dignity and respect,” Anderson said. “Training for sailors will be conducted by command triads via mobile training teams or DVD with a facilitation guide if the unit is in a remote area and unable to receive face-to-face training. There will also be webinars for COs to ask questions prior to delivering training to their commands.” The training deadline is set to coincide with the date that the Navy will start accepting transgender recruits, July 1, 2017. The military is creating ground rules for servicemembers who want to change their gender while serving and is requiring that all transgendered people use the bathroom** associated with their preferred gender. Anderson said that leadership will crack down on any mistreatment or harassment of transgender individuals. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter repealed the ban on transgenders serving in the military back in June. “This is the right thing to do for our people and for the force,” Carter said at a Pentagon press conference. “We can’t allow barriers unrelated to a person’s qualifications prevent us from recruiting and retaining those who can best accomplish the mission.” ------------ * Spokeswoman? Shouldn't this be SpokesPERSON? (Gender neutral?) ** It's called HEAD. Might be a bit problematical at sea. |

No wonder Russia buzzes our ships. So they can point and laugh.

When I was in the Navy, if you fvcked around with the wrong person, they might perform a sex change operation on you regardless of your consent (they wouldn't be all that sensitive toward you either). The surface fleet folks were pretty scary.

While I understand the complications of this subject, I take a broader view.
If you choose to defend this country against its enemies, I applaud you. We should strive to make defending this country a definitive quality among people regardless of their ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or other defining attribute. That is all... |

I thought they've been doing that for decades. Used to call it a blanket party though.

Now take it to the other side. Who wouldn't want to be the one swinging dick in a bunkroom of 99 chicks ? So guess what happens to "special" people ? That's right. Special rooms. Because of the current PC drive- the .Gov will spend massive amounts of $$$ to accommodate a very small group. |

Transgender population is estimated (probably liberally) to be .3 percent of the population.
Current Navy personnel is 329,302. That puts a possible average of 988 gender confused he/she's in the Navy. So how much resource is going to be pissed away to accommodate this PC nonsense? What other demographic of a third of percent get that kind of priority? |

I guess a simple verbal order from the commander not to harass the weirdo, assuming your ship has one, isn't sufficient. |

seems to me that time sitting around getting trained is time not spent on marksmanship.

If the Navy makes it attractive to TGs such as offering incentives (like offering to rearrange their junk for free), then that'll increase the numbers that join. But that doesn't say how many TGs would want to join the Navy in the first place. |
