An amusing tale (Well except for CAPT Hejl) about some journalist's view of life in the Nav...I hate to break it to the braintrust that wrote this article, but the Shitty Kitty is not a Nuke and never will be. When I left the Navy, the standards for non-tolerance were pretty damn high, color-blindness was the rule; no one was in the business of racism, because of the Kitty Hawk's previous history. Access to the flight deck was never a problem while there were no flight ops going on, and hole-snipes were pretty damn proud of their jobs! More research, less invective boys, if you want any credibility...Nuclear-powered indeed...Sheeeeit.
Once again, my hat is off to Instapundit for look and a link to stupid FBI hiring practice. Here I am, in my 40's with a computer security background, 13 years of creditable service in the Navy as an Officer, and I could/can not get hired by the Feds to work as a special agent. Like I need to go to fucking Quantico to prove I can carry a rifle around...and I think that given some of their recent missteps with the handling of obvious leads, they have shown that they understand computers no better than the IBM Selectrics that are probably still an office standard...oh well, if the Army Guard ever gets around to needing mid-grade aviators to drive Helicopters around, I still have my name in the pool....
