The Navy Isn’t Preparing Recruits For This Reality
After reading this piece, it's clear the author is blaming the navy for sailors who can't cut it and go bonkers. As if the military is somehow supposed to "fix" the shortcomings of individual upbringing.
Male bovine excrement!
Individuals like that shouldn't be allowed to enter the military in the first place. We have recruits undergo extensive aptitude testing, why not social skills testing at the same time? How much "awards for participation" indoctrination have they received that limits their ability to actually take part in working as a team.
A team. That's what the military is. First and foremost. If you can't be part of a team you have no business being in the military. Period.
“It’s a floating prison.” This is how a sailor described serving aboard USS Shiloh, and the sentiment seemed to be shared by many of the crewmembers. The Shiloh made headlines when a crewmember Petty Officer 3rd Class Peter Mims went missing while underway, spurring a massive search by the crew for a comrade who, it turns out, who was hiding in an engineering space the whole time.
Not just sad but disgusting.
