Breathalyzer Tests

**Smuckatelli** · 03-05-12, 15:33

We have to watch an 'All Hands' that is being broadcast from the USS Bataan......

Sec Mabus has just announced command level breathalyzer testing when assuming duty in the morning.

Another push on sexual assault training.

He has only been talking for 10 minutes so far.

All off duty alcohol incidents will be reviewed before someone can be promoted.

Motorcycle safety....

Now he is talking about physical fitness...No more waivers, wieght lifters aren't gunna be happy.

Uh oh....he's talking about smokers......

No more discounts on smoking products at the PX....

A new position has been formed "Diversity Officer"...

That's what SecNav said live, he gave 6 months, we'll see how it is carried out.

Has someone given the Secnav a breathalyzer yet?

Sweet baby Jebus, what has happened to my beloved Corps? You used to be REQUIRED to drink a quart of vodka out in Kinville before you were considered eligible for promotion......

So the WM's are going to just make the promotions that much harder for the company-grade Infantry officers and SNCO's, huh?

Sigh.....

Mmmmm...kinville...taco rice with cheese.

A bit of that and you're sobered up nicely.

**LowSpeed_HighDrag** · 03-06-12, 02:41

Holy ****ing shit. 6 months baby, with a 2013 VERP we can make it 4. Well, at least I get to claim "old Corps" status

No more waivers for fitness? So does that apply to WM's who continue to get pregnant and have their PFT/CFT waived in order to get promoted. What about those of us with low BMI but over the max because of muscle while still maintaining high 1st class PFT and CFT? Ughhh.

I can see the CMC being for these changes possibly, but is SgtMaj Barrett, Mr. Combat Arms Himself, really down for female officers and SNCO's in leadership positions in grunt BN's?

What the F***, over?

Equality in combat won't survive the first contact.

It seems like the current administration is thinking we a re peace time military at the moment and is going with this social management crap for the armed services.

This is going to get people killed, and shun the motivated from serving.
