It's realistic. If a sailor isn't able to deploy, then he/she isn't fulfilling the obligation.

It is unrealistic. As our military numbers shrink, the branches should find suitable roles for those unable to deploy.

It's fair. The policy says that cases will be considered individually, which is appropriate

I have seen many non deployable personnel who bragged about it, they should definitely go !

Ships go to sea, sailors man ships, the Navy has a mission to protect from the sea and thus sailors all must go to sea, without sailors they can't complete their mission! If you can't go to sea, you do not belong in the Navy.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I don't think any of the services can afford to keep personnel that are unable to perform their wartime mission/duty. The Navy may be leading this, but I would wager that the others will be implementing similar programs soon as well.

The Navy isn't leading this - the Army started this earlier this year.
