Friday at 03:08 PM1 day No need for a Navy thread but tribalism is alive and well in the Navy as well. A giant FU to aviators from the CNO.

10 hours ago10 hr I have no experience running a boat, but I wonder how much technical knowledge is required to be an effective commander? I can see this perspective to some extent; to use an AF comparison - no way should a non fighter-pilot run a fighter wing, other than in “extreme” manning emergency where a fighter pilot cannot be sourced at the time (and at min the non-FP is a combat oriented pilot). But, there are commands where really only leadership and decision making capability matter, and technical expertise is somewhat irrelevant (schools, ABW, etc.) I wonder which AF example boats are more comparable to.Exception: carriers should be commanded by pilots. The SWOs running them are just like shoe clerks - have no concept of who the mission is (supported vs. supporting). Edited 10 hours ago10 hr by brabus
