Goat rarely has anything to add except snarkery and jabs at other posters.

You misquoted the substance.Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump…you’ve got it bad
18 pull-ups is no joke. And 95 crunches and 75 push-ups in 2 minutes is a challenge.Good? No. I'm not sure if he'll go through with it or not but I'd love it if he did.
Re requirements, you do not have to have played varsity to qualify. You do have to pass a fairly rigorous fitness test:
Maximum Performance Scores by Event and Gender:
B-Ball Throw Pull-Ups Shuttle Run Crunches Push-Ups 1-Mile Male 102 18 7.8 95 75 5:20 Female 66 7 8.6 95 50 6:00
Testing Sequence
The test sequence will follow the order listed below. This order cannot be modified. There are no exceptions to this sequence or timing.
* The 5-minute rest includes the transition time to the outdoor track. If the 1-mile run cannot be started by minute 30, an alternative arrangement for a running surface must be found.
Events Test Start Time Testing Time Rest Total Elapsed Time Basketball Throw 0:00 2 minutes 3 minutes 5:00 Pull-Ups 5:00 2 minutes 3 minutes 10:00 Shuttle Run 10:00 2 minutes 3 minutes 15:00 Crunches 15:00 2 minutes 3 minutes 20:00 Push-Ups 20:00 2 minutes 3 minutes 25:00 1-Mile Run 30:00 10 minutes 5 minutes* 40:00
That looks similar to the requirements for the Dream Team in Auburn. We also have several additional requirements:Good? No. I'm not sure if he'll go through with it or not but I'd love it if he did.

Not necessarily the board...Goat is nowhere close to correct. He and others are just being smart/dumb asses
The point of the thread is why do we have billions of dollars of lethal force neutralized by a stupid mistake. The navy has no logistical redundancy because of a failure to meet recruitment goals. White male dropout is a factor in my view.
Why the Big Horn ran aground is a separate matter and has little or nothing to do about who was at the helm. I would think that any computer aided guidance system would certainly use ocean depth as a relevant input. This should never have happened.
Goat’s and others take on this thread leads me to believe that the board has become worthless.
DANC isn't smart enough to actually read things. He just makes assumptions and goes with those.Seriously? GOAT came to McMurtry's rescue a few days ago.
How fast would 2 theaters of conflict burn thru all of our contingency supplies of fuel?That strike group remains an operating strike group and it will be refueled. There are other sources in the Middle East including refueling in port.
The problem with logistics ships has been years in developing. We’re not replacing aging ships fast enough and the merchant marine workforce (civilians that man the USNS auxiliary ships) has been contracting and it needs expanded. This is a separate issue from Navy active duty recruiting. There are challenges there too. You recognized it was complicated but emphasized white males dropping out as being the problem. Maybe, a small factor, but not the primary or secondary. The primary factors are that the military life is tough and only a fraction of serving age people qualify and the Navy (and the rest of the military has to compete against the civilian sector for them. It’s tougher when the economy is good.
Are the logistics ships 100% civilian? I was under the impression that the officers were Navy. Regardless, the problems are rooted in manpower shortages. Working age men dropping out is well documented and most of those are white dudes. This is a problem that needs attention. According to the link, new Lewis- class oilers are not in service because of man power shortages.That strike group remains an operating strike group and it will be refueled.

The labor market is tightening for obvious reasons. Are white males dropping out, or getting better jobs?
With limited resources, shouldn't the Admirals be responsible if this strike group is so important? This seems like a failure inside the Navy.

i don't get it? what are they doing? they already made their money and shut it down?
They are civilians. The CO equivalent is a Ship’s Master. We occasionally put a small Navy detachment on them for special missions, but that’s not needed for their normal logistics missions.Are the logistics ships 100% civilian?

Saying this is a problem in the making for a long time doesn’t seem very comforting.
We don’t have fuel replenishment capacity….its an issue that needs addressed if we are to project forceAre the logistics ships 100% civilian? I was under the impression that the officers were Navy.

How does the single most mission critical ship in the theater RUN ****ING AGROUND?

That is not what the statement means.It didn't run around because of the plight of the white male.
JFC. Cope you ****ing snowflake.White males have been told for so long that they’re responsible for all the evils of the world that I guess they’ve given up
You're saying the rise of men being unemployed is due to them being stay-at-home husbands/fathers? Do you have data to back that up?I guess you have to watch the video to find out. I didn't bother.
I'm guessing a number of them have a working partner that makes enough to take care of the household. No one ever batted an eye when it was men working and women staying out of the workforce. But reverse the roles and it's some kind of crisis...
I believe Mike Rowe approves of this book. 'Nuff said.
It's a pretty convincing argument.
Ummmmm…. Why attack Mode? Just joking for crying out loudJFC. Cope you ****ing snowflake.
Good article. The problem is deep and complicated. I read Beans, Bullets, and Black Oil many years ago. I wonder if anybody now in charge has read itHere's a relatively in depth article that spells out the problem as more than just a manpower issue (but that's certainly a major problem)... No worries though Pete Buttigieg is in charge 🙄 (in other words no one is in charge and we may well be screwed...)

My son has mentioned maybe applying to the Naval Academy or doing ROTC. Wonder if this situation would help his chances.

Beans, Bullets, and Black Oil - The Story of Fleet Logistics Afloat in the Pacific During World War II
https://a.co/d/9vCwNHl
Our knowledge and execution of logistics is far and away our greatest military strength.There's an old adage that applies here:
Amateurs talk strategy and tactics, Professionals talk Logistics...
Sounds as though most of our Pros may have retired...
My father (USMC ret.) once told me that: "Anyone can put up a fight for a couple of weeks but after that only the outfits that understand logistics and can find a way to resupply their people can actually win".
That looks similar to the requirements for the Dream Team in Auburn. We also have several additional requirements:
-Skin an opossum in 5 minutes
-Drink 6 beers and take 2 6mg Zyns within 30 minutes
-Win a local chili cook off at a Dream Team sanctioned county fair

Is one of the most lethal forces on the planet. It is positioned in the Persian Gulf. It’s now nothing more than a collection of floating funny looking excursion boats. Why? It can’t get more jet fuel. The Navy’s oiler attached to the strike group ran aground and is out of service. Our navy has no ready replacement. Why? Because of failure to meet recruiting goals, the Navy sidelined logistical ships.

Why can’t we meet recruiting goals? Many reasons and the issue is complicated. But we do know that white males are dropping out of everything, from being students to being accomplished tradesmen, well-educated professionals and signing up for the military.
We have a problem.
And she survived???Her phone wouldn’t charge last night. Was epic
