The military is actually extremely racist and sexist.
.
If you are white and / or have a penis (unless you identify as a woman) you can expect to have a hard time advancing beyond the automatic promotion ranks.
EDIT: Unless you are in an extremely difficult technical field where they are weeded out earlier...like nuclear propulsion. But even then, if they get that far, they are still more likely to get promotions. Because for "reason's" military promotions aren't blind.
I love how the military has so many discriminatory policies that would violate labor laws in the civilian world.
Like paying people different amounts based solely on whether they are married and / or have kids.
Where the heck would you even get this from? I've never heard anyone make such a ridiculous claim. There aren't even enough women for that kind of discrimination to work.
30 years in and around the US Navy and enough exposure to other branches.
Next question?
If your argument is true, I should be able to see the majority of the senior enlisted and officer corps of the USN as female. After all, it's going to be extremely difficult for men to get into staff positions. The SNCOIC's of the Navy should be majority female.
We both know that isn't reality. Again, there's probably not even enough women in the Navy to make that happen if anyone wanted it to. Your 30 years would have started when the US Navy would have been doing the exact opposite of what you describe.
I can't really decide if you're that clueless or intentionally twisting what I said.
But here, I'll explain it using small words.
If a white male and a female or minority are up for the same promotion, the white male won't get it.
You're trying to twist it into some bizarre absolute of "only women and minorities are ever promoted".
