Navy sets policy allowing transgenders to join the Navy

The Navy has made it official that transgenders can apply to openly serve in the Navy. They must meet service requirements if they are to be accepted, and maintain those requirements while serving. This is the same policy for the those who are not transgender. The Navy policy protects transgendered Sailors from being adversely impacted solely based on their being transgendered.

From the Navy Times:

All transgender persons who wish to serve in the United States Navy and can meet the appropriate standards shall be able to do so openly and free from discrimination,” the Navy said in a NAVADMIN released June 3. “The Navy remains committed to treating all persons with dignity and respect.”

“No person, solely on the basis of gender identity, will be denied accession, involuntarily separated or discharged, denied reenlistment or continuation of service, or subjected to adverse action or mistreatment,” the NAVADMIN said.

According to the new guidance, a service member must receive a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria from a military medical provider or civilian medical provider stipulating a gender transition is “medically necessary” to get the ball rolling on transition-related treatment.

A medical treatment plan will be crafted, and the service member will seek approval from their commanding officer concerning the timing of their request, the Navy said.

The Navy Times has more on the story here.

Sounds like a good idea. A few months of Basic Training, four months to a year and change to get the specialty training, check into their first command, and BAM!!! Non-deployable while undergoing gender reassignment. Between pre-op medical and psychological exams, post operation convalescence leave, and follow up medical appointments, the Navy should see a return in their training dollars in about never. Don’t worry, that Petty Officer 2nd Class won’t mind doing back to back deployments.

That about sums it up Hack Stone. Don’t forget the lifetime supply of specialty meds that will be required. We can only hope that the mental disorders they have will cause them to take themselves out of the drain on taxpayer resources they will cause.

Not happy with what the Good Lord gave you? Fine, change it! Just don’t expect me to pay for it. And btw, I don’t want to pay for you murdering your unwanted baby either.

Two year enlistment, gone, then the remaining six years in IRR blown-off. Great for readiness.

The Navy threw any standards of enlistment out the window when Hunter Biden got a Direct Commission to a Naval Reserve Public Affairs Command.

In defense of the Navy Public Affairs they did get miles of news coverage from conservative media out of it.

OK, since none of you are brave enough to do it…

Um,
Ahem…


“No, even if it still had a clam, WTF, isn’t that Mr Six??
No, and I hope you’re not wearing flats.
No, not you Karen, or is it Ken. WTF, I can’t tell.
No, Dude, I mean Bruh, I mean, well whatever, I can’t tell, get back to the hospital, you have a few appointment left and/or you’re not even trying and,
No, I don’t care what the y say about going black, Um, just NO.

SO, that concludes today’s Safety Brief, even if it’s Monday, thanks for coming, push in your chairs (I *didn’t* say stools), pick up your trash and the last one, get the lights out the door.

(That being said, this *is* worth the quick watch) 😀

Yep that did indeed look like a real Sgt Maj there. Expression and choice deletions all in character. Loved the last scene with Pvt Snuffy deciding to change his weekend plans and abandon his cart.

First time I watched this I thought it was over with the black kid and the beef jerky and I closed it out a little early and missed that part. THAT part made it even funnier.
“PLOT TWIST: “This is Installation Sergeant Major, Michael J. Hendges at his part time job after hours.” 😀

I was shocked that the military would allow such jocularity in 2017, these days with PC and all how it is and even with President Trump at the time.

Transgenders will be as welcome to your command/duty station/work center/division as fart in a space suit. You can’t treat them as “special” because its wrong to single them out. But if you don’t treat them as “special” you’re wrong not recognizing their “courage”. If you give them a wide berth, you’re wrong for ignoring/freezing them out because that’s supposedly crueler than picking on or making fun of people which is practically an art form for service members. Plus, all their emotional needs that genuinely go along with persons that are 40% more likely to attempt suicide. Yeah, they’re about as easy to handle as radioactive nitroglycerin. Good luck to all those that must serve with them. Your jobs all just got a little riskier.

Twitter account was hacked so didn’t put that info up nor did I make a go fund me account. I’m 80% service connected and was in the National Guard just for Basic Training and part of school before a training accident sent me home. I never said I was a U.S Marshal what I said was I did a training program for the Daytona Police Department called CERT which stands for Community Emergency Response Team. I Earned my first aid training through Red Cross not through the army nor did I say that. And yes I do have a record but why is that anyone’s business? I’ve made mistakes but who hasn’t? I don’t know how all that wrong information got out there. All I told everyone i had a interview with was I’m a veteran.

ADMINS…..
Original MP article, with news videos.
Can we clarify what she said,
then and now?
Perhaps someone can contact her,
and get a Page 2 worthy explanation / denial out of her?

Mason

She got engaged today. Good for her.

MarineDad61

Mason,
NOT if she totally conned and shitted up the new fiance.

(This happened in MY family 6 years ago,
with a female family member,
until I got to the truth (Phony Navy SEAL)
,and helped put an end to the engagement,
and ran him out of the county.)

Email sent to admin. 🙂

Mason,
The power of Google Fu.
Old claims (Twitter) are STILL THERE.
So are MP and VG, on the Page 1 results.
Once again, Google is your friend… Unless….

Interesting UPDATE.
Poof.
The county Book of Fake group (above)
DELETED Carol Badoni’s new comments,
and then….

She did her CERT training at All-Points Logistics.

And benefited from their job placement benefit.

She might even still work the Nurse’s Aid Station there. Unsure.

Might want to check with the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics). He would or should know.

So these Jerry’s kids will be real popular on submarines I bet. Probably see the first incident of “person” overboard while submerged

IF they have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria, wouldn’t that preclude them from a security clearance? You know, history of mental illness/disease/defect.

NHSparky

Halfway nights should get real interesting, not to mention, “crossing the line”.

Oh wait, they’ve already gutted those too.

Said it before, will say it again: much ado about nothing. Given their mental health issues (suicidal idealation? Okay, buh-bye, thanks for playing) and just acclimation in boot camp will remove all but MAYBE a handful of recruits.

And were I still a bag toting recruiter, I certainly wouldn’t go out of my way or waste the time/paper to put one on deck, knowing the chances of them even clearing med decks at MEPS would be somewhere between zip and point shit, even if some CFR loser told me I needed that body on the 28th of the month so NRD could make goal.

“somewhere between zip and point shit,”

Haven’t heard that one in decades!

The Navy is now catching up.

In April, the Air Force and Space Force were “the first services to republish their transgender policies after the Biden administration reversed the Trump-era ban on allowing service members to pursue gender transition”:

“Transgender Airmen, Guardians Guaranteed Equal Opportunity Under New Policy”

Catching up and not letting their guy take a shot at the NFL.

Cannot really blame the guy for wanting to take the shot, can we?

Go Navy!!!!!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice…..

A 40 year old gay white male pretended to be female on Tinder
to catfish and suck teenage black cock.

When the 18 year old Virginia Tech football player went back for seconds,
and realized this time it’s NOT a female,
he pummeled the guy to death.

No one here in this story will be joining the Navy anytime soon.

MarineDad61:

I read that sad story the other day and thought instantly of this story that took place years ago:

“U.S. Marine Guilty in Killing of Transgender Woman in Philippines”

https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/02/world/asia/us-marine-joseph-pemberton-guilty-in-killing-of-transgender-woman-in-philippines.html

He was pardoned and released in 2020:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/13/world/asia/philippines-us-marine-transgender-woman.html

I remember those “women” while TDY in the Phillipines and Thailand…they were gorgeous, beautiful.

Thank You for sharing the article.

ninja,
YW.
An 80s USAF workplace SNCO “Rich”
was telling us 60s stories one night on 2nd shift.

He was in the PI, and invited to the Subic Navy Ball.
At his table, was a young Marine with a hot local babe.
Before dinner was underway,
Rich excused himself for the Men’s Room.
Not 5 minutes later, the Marine’s hot date
came into the men’s room, hiked up the dress,
and urinated standing into the urinal.

When Rich returned to his table,
the Marine was already red with embarrassment,
as others saw “her” head into the Men’s Room.
The Marine split, to prevent “her” return to the table.
Bad night for a Marine that thought he scored a babe.
