Navy Collides With Political Correctness – Changes in Ranks Ahead

[OB1Kenobi]

[h=2]Political correctness has run ashore at the Department of the Navy – a recent ruling will soon see a name change to a time-honored rank. As of 1 October, 2012, all Seaman ranks will be renamed Seaperson.[/h]

There's a joke in there somewhere but I won't make it.

This is totally ridiculous. I'm getting tired of this PC crap screwing with our military. Shameful.

I guess that will also effect a whole bunch of things like "Seamanship" will now be called "Seapersonship" - WTF ???

 

[Boris]

oh, and from now on coxswain will be known as ...

What will the Navy be without semen?

 

[OnTheRoad]

What's next? "Infantryperson"? "Airperson"?

As usual, the Nav moves too fast and not fast enough. With all the advances in robotics and artificial intelligence it will not be long before nonhuman entities start forming up for Morning Quarters. Obviously "Person" with its speciesist connotations will not be acceptable.
Seathing. Breathe it in, breathe it out. I can hear it on the 1MC now, "Will the thing with the key to the smokesifter please report to the forward uptakes."

I'm still waiting for some bull dike to sue the Army to get a slot in Ranger School!

A good thing about getting old is, the world changes so much you would rather be dead anyway!

They are going - sometime between class 3-13 and 5-13 (March, April or May 2013) according to a report in the Army times a few months ago.
