Regardless of how super they are, I think that the odds of this group happening are phenomenal. I forwarded 3 SOYs in my last command position - white male, white female, black male. Black male was selected 4 star level SOY but didn't win final look. I always felt good about who I sent up. In this case, knowing probability and considering the amount of "diversity" directives/etc. that we have seen Sal graciously keep us informed of, I this think is smells to high heaven!SubGuynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-43816929218538821912010-07-23T09:19:02.000-04:002010-07-23T09:19:02.000-04:00Sometimes the Diversity Thursdays write themselves...Sometimes the Diversity Thursdays write themselves.

So, in essence, even if these women DESERVE SOY, they are being disserviced by the CNO and his policies! So many Sailors who just HAPPEN to be minorities are fantastic officers and enlisted. Their race has nothing to do with their performance, likewise their gender. These affirmative action policies take away from their contribution, and instead exist self congratulatory propaganda for white closet racists.Salty Gatornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-14268965845061441202010-07-23T08:45:48.000-04:002010-07-23T08:45:48.000-04:00Same vermin, new rock to hide under.

They are the wrong gender, probably most are the wrong race/ethnicity, and they are actually trying to KILL bad guys.
