This time targeting nondeployables. Basically, deploy or GTFO.

HUGE fan of this move. 11% currently nonDs? That is atrocious to me. Sure, there are legit cases and are addressed by him. But, he is going after "those" people. Y'all know who I am referring to. Great way to start trimming the fat.

Thoughts?

YES! I deal with so many of these people. And like you said, some are legit. Most of those legit cases find ways to be productive outside their normal billet/MOS.

But so many have figured out how to stay in to get the benefits without doing any of the work.

this is great news. as a company commander, one of the most frustrating things I had to deal with were malingerers. after putting together fairly convincing cases for several of them, i was basically told by the CG to drop it. absolutely infuriating.

Can you flag, bar from reenlistment, and let them ETS? Sometimes it's faster.

This is tremendous news. Remove the red tape and get these folks out. Cost savings will be massive.

Great news. I'd like to see more effort on removing PT failures and permanent profiles as well. Too often it seems the military is treated as a jobs program. It's a privilege to wear the uniform and you have to earn it everyday.

I was not aware of "theduffle". I read for a few minutes and I started hyperventilating.

Then I realized what was happening.

Very funny but almost true.

As for deployment, I was in the Air Force and it seemed as if I was going somewhere different every month and as a result, I left after 8 years (and 8 different duty stations).

Not complaining but it was not for me and my family.

My brother-in-law was career Navy He had one cruise to SE Asia and one cruise to the Mediterranean. The other 18 years was spent in Beeville NAS or Corpus Christi NAS.

I always wondered what that was all about?

Has anyone seen any movement on this? I feel like the quality sailors that just got a bad hand with some health problems are outprocessed pretty quickly and the little turds walking around sucking up air are just finding ways to draw a paycheck and do nothing.
