racist MAGAs.

That is just not fair to put minority recruits in that toxic environment. Why do you leave it to us to "train" these kind of people, when we're struggling to make it through hoops that already benefit their kind?

OTOH - if it puts them on the front line and removes them from the gene pool, I'd consider that a win.

I've found that a number of really racist people are perfectly fine with the black guy who went through basic training with him. I knew someone who I'd be willing to bet was a total MAGAt now but when I knew him was best buds with the black woman who went through police training with him.

Is it possible for a racist and a member of a minority group to get along? Sure. The deciding incentive was a paycheck and HR watching over to make sure that things didn't get out of hand.

That actually was working before the shock talk media and Trump encouraged racists to come out and overtly show their stripes.

So, today there is a total culture of racism supported by their churches and community and some of it is legally actionable. It is just going to take a wise and astute Civil rights group actively working its way across the country. And I would make sure that among them are lawyers who are wizards at homeowner rights.

maybe behind this recruitment drive. Who else can challenge us on the seas.

But China is more likely because of our policy on Ukraine.

Personally, I could not live in a submarine.
The big ships too are not ocean liners, they are dull gray cramped quarters.

The bonus incentive sounds right.

All I got was the bus ride.

Its been fun, but for 50k I gotta' do what I gotta' do. I'll check back in after boot camp.

Not just RTC, but the follow-on schools as well.

Back in the day, if someone shipped during summer surge and got out of step at RTC (physical improvement, etc), then a seat got missed at training and some people languished for close on a year awaiting the next seat.

((I think there is an implicit bias, as many south/western high schools graduate students in May while in my area it's not until mid-June.))

With sailors to do the grunt work.

For example, CVN 78 Ford is FINALLY preparing for deployment...

They wish to decommission 24 ships over the next year.
