The DEI effort in the Navy has been going on for over 40 years. When I was on a recruiting staff in the early 80's we had quotas for blacks and Hispanics. The tough part was getting qualified minority applicants that could pass the ASVAB, had a high school diploma and no criminal history. Minority officer recruiting was even tougher. The Navy and other branches even had programs to BOOST applicant test scores through remedial training. Seems our public schools systems could not then, and especially today, educate our young. As Thomas Sowell, Ben Carson and others have noted, the breakdown of the black family unit due to social welfare policies is at the root of this epidemic. The efforts long ago have morphed into DEI today. I cancelled my membership in MOAA (Formerly the Retired Officer Association) when it had a series of interviews in 2020-2921 of minority flag officers complaining about personally being discriminated against including the current Chairman of the JCS. Gimme a break!
The same people who created the ineffective schools are the same people who wanted to keep recruiters out.......and now apparently can be found in the service academies.
