FFS, ALL we can do is do with what we got. I/ we can't help talent is drawn to the weaker service.
The average midshipmem ends up slinging grits and rowing boats for the jarheads who themselves can't be trusted with expensive equipment nor a box of crayons. It is a calamity of maritime shrimp boaters and the ease of the seas that garners the pretty boys with talent over the weighted warriors.
Have a mop and enjoy the win. We are the ones who win wars and target the opposition right between their hearts and minds. We will call when we need a little assistance but for the most part, stir the grits and stay out of our way. We're busy counting captured flags
