Not exactly a surprise

So... just long enough for sailors to prepare new uniforms with rank-only badges, only to be told to put them back on?  (I'm assuming they had to strip the rating badges from dress & working uniforms etc).

I'm betting someone is bitching about having to do that shit.

Good.  This was a very misguided exercise in stupidity.

I'll have to congratulate the BMC on getting to be a BMC again.

As far as I know, they had not changed the uniform insignia yet.

Uniform insignia was never changed.

Functionally, the only change was that they went through all the NMCI and ONENET GALs and removed ratings from them.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Thankfully someone saved the Navy from empty suits before they did too much damage.

MAGA.

If Hillary had won, the policy would have stayed.

Actually if this wasn't stopped, how in the hell were they going to do advancement exams without ratings?

Funny how a change in the POTUS makes a difference a month early.

There is a lot about the Navy advancement system that is profoundly stupid, but I do enjoy the fact there is at least one objective score of merit in the system other than your run time.

There goes my idea to have a Nelson-Denny reading test and PSAT administered to the entire Navy officer corps.

I didn't even think if it until I saw this update.

If they were going to base the exams on NECs' instead of ratings, they would have to tailor every single exam for every Sailor.

I was an HT and although I didn't have any NEC's I knew guys that had in-rate and out of rate NECs.
