Military bearing doesn't mean you have to act like a hetero white dude with a stick up your ass.
Also, some context that people are missing: https://www.facebook.com/alana.mae.7/posts/844394562369353
I had a little chuckle at #SWOsohard

Eeeeeenteresting. Ships that suck at writing their own award packages would get their pick of the litter: the most moto mids with the highest GPAs.This brings to mind my feelings on the matter of ship selection - it should be like a draft. Ships choose based on reverse Battle E points.
Yeah, so just like pro sports drafts, it would even things out. Otherwise you have year after year of low-GPA students going to the rust buckets. Think that makes anything better?Eeeeeenteresting.

You guys are a lot more tolerant than the SB crowd on this issue.
I've heard some senior SWOs say that there's a qualitative difference between Norfolk JOs and JOs elsewhere, for this reason.
Personally, I don't think there's a correlation between college GPA and your ability to lead Sailors and drive and fight a warship.
I'd buy that for a dollar. What criteria would you use to draft MIDN, if you had the ability?

Aaaand here we go again.You're an F-18 guy, presumably you picked that because it interested you; how would you have felt if you'd been drafted by H-60s or P-3s?
?? There was a smiley there, dude. All's cool, at least I thought. That was just a joke about the 6,969 times we've gone round and round about people getting their second or third choice of platforms in the over 10 years this site's been around.^Fair enough, put your pitchfork away.
While I'll never understand your extreme sensitivity for that subject, and that's an understatement, I've edited my post in the interest of keeping the peace.

Not spooled up about nothin' over here.
Check. Like I said, some of that may be the long-timers seeing a perennial topic come up again. And again. And again. And a lot of those people may have gotten their second or lower choice, bloomed where they were planted, and ended up liking life. Then along comes Johnny or Jenny High-School Airshow Nerd saying "I'll never settle for not getting fighters," and you might see how people might spool.Sarcasm meter re-cal'd. I re-read my last post, the "your" wasn't directed at you personally; I've encountered a lot of sensitivity on that topic here from many contributors.
