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".
Your very statement suggests that most whites and most men (and by virtue, white men especially) should be basically piled up in the lower ranks. We should be seeing a significant number of qualified white men sitting in ranks like E-4 and E-5 for most of their re-enlistment. Considering how many of them there are, especially men, and considering that the military demobilized from Iraq & Afghanistan, there should be a fucking enormous backlog of whites and men sitting around for 3-4 years, even after re-enlistment, who are overqualified for ranks like E-6 while women & minorities get fast-tracked from E-4 to E-6 in only a couple years.
That should be the case if your statement is true, and I haven't seen or heard that at all.
Were you in the military?
I already know you weren't. So keep writing your essays and pretending you know what you're talking about.
