Hmm, while we are trying our damnest to erase our Naval history and heritage the USN is doubling down on retaining it. We shall see who is more successful!

"Then in the last two weeks, the recruits, who will now be considered sailors, will have to use those skills in scenarios and in focused discussions to increase understanding about the Navy culture, she said."

Can you elaborate on that? Are they not teaching that stuff in NETP (or whatever it's called now)? Or are you talking about the legacy of unification?

Most of this is just a grumpier old man yelling at clouds (me). But unification legacies and the current MARPAC wanting to get rid of Heart of Oak, changing of the ranks, not wanting to be called sir cause it genderizes him, cowtowing to the lowest denominator when it comes to dress and deportment, stopping of the rum tot, keel hauling, introduction of steam into the fleet, getting rid of the boats boom, etc etc!
