Diversity Thursday

Really, the intellectual damage the Diversity Cult has inflicted on the Navy is beyond parody. You can win Bu11sh1t Bingo in the first two paragraphs along. The Onion could not do better. It is almost as bad as this blog's mission statement at the top of the page.

Wow. Just wow. What a demonstration of obsequious, soul-selling, ass-smacking as is rarely seen outside of a Maoist Self-Criticism Seminar.

RMKS/1. THIS ALNAVRESFOR ANNOUNCES OUR NAVY RESERVE DIVERSITY STRATEGIC
VISION ISSUED 21 MAY 2010.

2. THROUGHOUT OUR FORCE AND ACROSS OUR COUNTRY AND THE GLOBE OUR RESERVE FORCE EMPHASIZES THE CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING AND EXECUTING A ROBUST DIVERSITY PROGRAM TO SUPPORT THE NAVY TOTAL FORCE OF THE FUTURE. PER REF A, CONTINUING TO PROACTIVELY STRESS ORGANIZATIONAL DIVERSITY REMAINS A TOP PRIORITY THROUGHOUT OUR NAVY AND IS A KEY ENABLER FOR OUR SUCCESS AS A GLOBAL FORCE FOR GOOD. ATTRACTING, RECRUITING, TRAINING AND RETAINING A DIVERSE, VERSATILE NAVY WORKFORCE IS CRITICAL TO ACHIEVING OUR CHIEF OF
NAVAL OPERATION'S VISION AND GOAL FOR OUR NAVY TO EMBRACE THE DIVERSITY AND CAPTURE THE TALENT OF AMERICA. TO SHOW HOW THE NAVY RESERVE FITS INTO THE CNO NAVY TOTAL FORCE DIVERSITY STRATEGY, OUR 2010 DIVERSITY STRATEGIC VISION IS IN ITS ENTIRETY BELOW.

3. THE NAVY RESERVE, AS A KEY COMPONENT IN THE NAVY TOTAL FORCE IS COMMITTED TO ATTRACTING AND RETAINING DIVERSE MEN AND WOMEN WHO REFLECT THE FACE OF OUR NATION. EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS OUR COMMITMENT TO ACHIEVE BY 2037 THE CNO'S VISION OF A FLAG WARDROOM THAT MORE CLOSELY REFLECTS THE DIVERSITY OF THE NATION. DIVERSITY IS A STRATEGIC IMPERATIVE VITAL TO THE FUTURE OF THE NAVY RESERVE. IT IS MORE THAN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, RACE, GENDER, OR RELIGION. BY EMBRACING DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION, WE RECOGNIZE THAT EACH MEMBER BRINGS DIFFERENT SKILLS, TALENTS, AND EXPERIENCES THAT WILL CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT OF EXCELLENCE. DIVERSITY OF THOUGHT AND IDEAS CAPTURES THE VAST TALENT VITAL TO MISSION SUCCESS AND WILL MAKE OUR NAVY STRONGER. WITH LOCATIONS IN ALL 50 STATES, AND THE TERRITORIES OF GUAM AND PUERTO RICO, THE NAVY RESERVE IS UNIQUELY POSITIONED TO SUPPORT RECRUITING AND RETENTION EFFORTS. WE ARE ABLE TO FACILITATE ENGAGEMENTS WITH THE AMERICAN PUBLIC BY LEVERAGING OUR FOOTPRINT ACROSS THE NATION. THIS ENABLES US TO COMMUNICATE UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO THOSE WHO DESIRE TO SERVE THEIR COUNTRY, ON EITHER A FULL OR PART-TIME BASIS. ADDITIONALLY, THE RESERVE COMPONENT PROVIDES STAY NAVY OPTIONS TO HELP RETAIN OPERATIONALLY RELEVANT AND FULLY TRAINED SAILORS. SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS BETWEEN ACTIVE AND RESERVE COMPONENTS OFFER LONG TERM, FLEXIBLE NAVY CAREER OPPORTUNITIES TO ALL SAILORS WHILE ENABLING THE NAVY TO MEET MISSION REQUIREMENTS IN A MORE COST EFFECTIVE MANNER. BY FOCUSING ON LEADERSHIP, OUTREACH, MENTORING, AND LIFE/WORK INITIATIVES, THE NAVY RESERVE WILL HELP ATTRACT AND RETAIN A DIVERSE WORKFORCE AND SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE NAVY. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROMOTE CONTINUUM OF SERVICE SOLUTIONS TO ATTRACT THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST WHILE FOSTERING AN ENVIRONMENT OF EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL ACROSS ALL RANKS, RATES AND COMMUNITITIES.

I feel embarrassed for everyone involved. I hope you sleep well. Yep, everyone wants to be VADM to have their name to Commissariat stuff like this. Icky.
