  3. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

    Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the Navy is a set of policies and programs that promote the fair treatment of all people. DEI aims to create a culture of inclusion where everyone feels welcome and can perform to their full potential. 

    Why is DEI important in the Navy? 

    DEI can help the Navy achieve its mission by harnessing the creative powers of a diverse team. DEI can help the Navy sustain a sharp team that embraces people achieving their highest potential. 

    A non-inclusive environment, where some are intentionally excluded, can negatively impact the mission of the U.S. Navy.

  5. The Threat from Within – The Trump Administration

    Our country is under threat from within. There is no doubt that the current administration, led by Trump, is using deceit and leadership positions to circumvent the constitution. What makes matters worse are the people who follow and join in this deception that is damaging to our Constitutional Republic. Separately, the current administration is causing economic chaos within our country and to our allies alike. It has only started but the telling signs are in the stocks and bonds that have moved in an erratic fashion unlike anything we have ever seen happen. Keep an eye on your 401K if you have one.

    Our country was built on the foundation of liberty, equality, justice, popular sovereignty, and rule of law. It is enshrined in documents such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence which emphasize that all individuals have rights that should be protected equally.

    This forum includes articles on topics/ incidents that go against the constitution, the Declaration of Independence and current laws that were put in place by “We the People,” that protect us from tyranny and illegal or immoral acts that are occurring on almost a weekly basis. Topics in this area may not be strictly military but cover our rights and freedom that many of us swore to uphold.

      Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say

      By Tony · Posted

      Tuesday Tacos... The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said.

      A Navy Veteran Is Determined to Find His Own Way Through PTSD—Without VA

      By Tony · Posted

      I struggled to keep a job. I started using my GI Bill for nursing school, just to end up too depressed to continue. I felt, and sometimes still do, like any day now I’ll just wake up back on the ship. After a year or so, I couldn’t take it. I tried VA. The first psychiatrist I saw diagnosed me with PTSD like it was the common cold, dismissing me with an Ambien prescription. It helped, but I was afraid of becoming dependent, so I never refilled it. Other therapists were quick to push religion, which doesn’t align with me. Aside from that, their help was mostly handouts and suggestions for activities like equine therapy.
