I'll summarize the one problem: The Navy will go out of its way to NOT take care of its own people.
I think if you had to boil it down to one sentence, this one does it.
Specifically the work/life balance and ever growing trend to "do more with less" in all regards, people, parts, support, and time....
Not sure I've seen it mentioned but the ever present disconnect between upper levels (Talking 0-7 and up) and the "working class" in the military. They seem to forget that the military they grew up in no longer exists in many ways, they never had to deal with the amount of things we ask young sailors and JO's to deal with. Reference the ill-fated speech yo JOs by ADM Aquilino on the pier in Guam during COVID or the Air Boss visit to Lemoore JO call where he bragged about taking a division down to San Diego to do an event every week only then to find out the largest squadron in the navy, the RAG had one up jet that day....
Something interesting I thought it is why don't we have more policy level positions for senior enlisted leadership in more places? IE, which do think would solve a problem better, an O-9 or an E-9?
