Violating Rule Number Two of the interwebs, I read the comments... Yikes.

FTA: "Two independent reviews of the collisions made a variety of recommendations to stem systemic shortcomings plaguing the service. However, the reviews didn’t address the two most significant factors negatively affecting mission readiness today: A widening dichotomy between policymakers and those who execute policy, and the souring relationship between junior enlisted sailors and an increasingly indolent chiefs mess."

FWIW, the longer I'm in this business, the more I accept that some people will never be happy about their (insert circumstances), and the Chiefs are out to get them, and the MMCPO is an abusive tyrant. :rolleyes:

Isn't that the old cliche? The Sailors are all supposed to hate the MMCPO and love the CMC?
 
What the Navy Can Learn From the Fyre Festival. - USNI Blog.

"In addition to lacking any moral compass, concert organizer McFarland embodies the worst traits of a leader who is more interested in the status associated with his job than getting the job done. The desire to be someone, as opposed to do something, is a hallmark of toxic leaders, and the convergence of status and lack of supervision only serves to reinforce negative behavior. The number of officers indicted in connection to Fat Leonard are a testament to the corrosive influence of access and status seeking. Senior officers, after all, are no longer furnished with someone whispering “memento mori” in their ears."

There’s a lot of goodness in this essay - and though it’s written for the Chief’s Mess, there are some nuggets in there for everyone.
