Arrright, butjust remember you asked me.
Cannot vote, as my views are mixed. I think the Officer/Sailor of today is far better than in my day. In particular, I like today's large number of "priors", other than LDO/WO in the "O" corps, makes for a better Navy. Concur with A4s that PC is killing us all. Right is right and wrong is wrong, there ain't no "twain".
Biggest difference:
I cannot get over having split-tails on ships or overseas locations such as Duva Duva, other than nurses. I hear tell that we now even have male nurses. Would have a hard time serving on a ship today with the girls on board.
Don't ask/Don't tell? I guess we had it back then. Could spot one a mile away, but paid it no mind if it did it's job and it behaved. If they would allow queers to openly serve in my Navy, I KNOW I would end up in the brig.
Gonna mull this over and might tell you what I really think a bit later.
Ok so I lied, I did vote.
