The current Chiefs are not going to like it and will be dead in the water for further promotion. Couldn't they just split the difference and make them warrants?

There are less than 2,000 warrants vs. an entrenched community of probably around 27,000 chiefs. LDO might work too, because legally it's a much more temporary status than warrant or standard commissioned officer. Stultus Maximus posted:Isn't this what DoD civilians with high GS numbers are for? At the very least you could make a non-traditional E-7/O-6 do their jobs or fire them. There's no recourse against a GS, they can simply refuse to do something as long as they're not interested in promotion.

its not like these guys will ever step foot on a ship who the gently caress cares? band nerds can start as high as E6 or maybe even E7. I've seen a doctor come in as an O-6.

I'd be slightly pissed if they hired someone with my credentials off the street as an E7 without giving people in the organization with the correct credentials a shot at the spot first. Namely, me. Gimme the cash man.

We're all gay. At least a little. Also we're all angry. Most of us are gay, unmarried and angry. Or divorced angry single moms who are in denial about being gay. I'm married to a guy though, and have been for 19 years. Most folks think I'm a lesbian, and I'm probably a little. I run with it. Also, I'm in TPU outprocessing. I drove by a LOT of little weed shops today. 7 days til DD214.

To do this, the vessels would have to reach Sweden by evading the German blockade of the Skagerrak. Once there, the vessels would load the ball bearings and return to Britain HMS Gay Viking literally hauled balls.
