Proactively “From the Sea”; an agent of change leveraging the littoral best practices for a paradigm breaking six-sigma best business case to synergize a consistent design in the global commons, rightsizing the core values supporting our mission statement via the 5-vector model through cultural diversity.
I had a JO who was a prior enlisted, black female. The only one, of course.
She walked by my desk when the command climate survey came out with a Fleet-worn look on her face and just looked at me with a cocked head and said sarcastically under her breath, "Yea, this is anon." We both laughed.
My last command had 3 LTs. One white male, one black female and one hispanic female. The other LTs fell under another CoC. Regardless, we all laughed at the "anonymity" of it all. Especially when you read the comments. The black female was a SoCal Green partier, then of course there was me, railing in the comments section about the racist diversity, and misused funding and time to support said silliness. They knew who we were, quite easily. I also liked to complain about the lack of support in stopping the copulation onboard ship.
Then this came out in the WaPo.

ReplyDeleteWas that purloined from the desk of Sestak's aide?
ReplyDeleteSWO Bacon speaketh the sarcastic truth. The survey's diversity identifier for cross tabulation must be farther down...
ReplyDeleteDM,
ReplyDeleteYep, bet they're being hailed up their Administrative Commander's chain as the "poster-persons" for Navy diversity, too! ;)
