Maybe I was just expecting something different when I joined, but from what I've seen so far it seems that the navy is too worried about stepping on other people's toes and less worried about what actually matters. I understand that we need to evolve and change, but for what, and why?. I've been told that orders right now are to "man the fleet", but it seems that quality is being sacrificed for quantity. I've only just graduated bootcamp, and it might just be my ignorance based on lack of actual experience and time in the navy, but I was just curious as to what some more experienced sailors thought about this.

Also curious as to whether or not the airman, soldiers, and marines feel the same way about their respective branches.

You're always free to set your own, personal standards if you feel that the Navy's are too low.

Maybe you should slow down there, you're just now in A-School. Yeah, boot camp isn't the horror stories of the past, but don't worry about it, people love to knock down cocky NUBs a few pegs or two out in the real Navy

PO1 (Join to see) I'm in agreement, take a few years to first check out what this mythical thing called the "Fleet" is really like, then if you'd like to complain, go for it. But first, make yourself the standard.
