Obama Goes, The Yeoman, Corpsman, Seaman Stay
by Daniel Greenfield: Remember this piece of politically correct insanity from the Obama years?The Navy secretary has ordered the service to review all job titles and consider removing any reference to "man" in them, a move that could force name-changes to nearly two dozen specialties, from airman to yeoman. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered the scrub as the force prepares to open the last remaining billets to women sailors in Marine ground combat elements and the Navy SEALs.
“Lastly, as we achieve full integration of the force … this is an opportunity to update the position titles and descriptions themselves to demonstrate through this language that women are included in these positions," Mabus wrote, according to sources who quoted directly from the letter. “Ensure they are gender-integrated as well, removing “man” from their titles, and provide a report to me as soon as is practicable and no later than April 1, 2016.”But Obama goes, the Yeoman stays.The Navy is scrapping its decision to eliminate dozens of enlisted sailors' job titles, including many that end in "man," after hitting an onslaught of opposition from the force.
But after hearing angry feedback from thousands of sailors, Richardson said Navy leaders believe they can find a way to provide better job flexibility without dropping the titles.
"We have learned from you, and so effective immediately, all rating names are restored," he said.
The memo will be publicly released at 8 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday, and sailors can expect to see correspondence from Navy leaders.
Richardson outlined what he called a "course correction" in the memo, saying the Navy will continue to review ways to update the names.As much as that makes for a great story, we all know that the real cause of the course correction was the sinking of the SS Hillary. PC leadership ceases to be a factor with President Trump and a Republican House and Senate that already weren't fond of this idea.
The question is how much of the PC insanity of the Obama years can be swept away in the revolution.
