Disagree here. The leadership problem is because the navy has introduced a crazy promotion scheme where a sailor gets promoted based on how well they look on paper and not how they actually do their job. I got out 4 years ago and it was sad to see, sailors hitting higher tenure because they couldn't promote. They couldnt promote because they put a priority on making sure their division got it's job done, but were punished with P or MP evals. Meanwhile the dipshit who doesn't know the first thing about their rate, and escaped learning about their rate by collecting pins, got EPs and promoted. Then a few years later, they put on anchors and are expected to lead a division of junior sailors to perform a job, but don't know the first thing about performing the job other than what was needed out of a book to score high enough on exams. Big reason why I got out.
