Exactly. And the timing especially craws at me. End of the FY when EVERY year I get told don’t plan a thing because of funding, the Commissars get a paid conference.
You want to improve sailor morale? Plow the money spent here on base improvements. Barracks first.
Didn't see any military, much less Naval experience in that Board. Course the board did have former ambassadors from first tier strategic partners, Benin, Thailand and Ecuador.
participants: 4% white, no mention of the military, lots of Global Government vibes:
"ICAP HAS HAD OVER 810 FELLOWS OVER THE PAST 26 ANNUAL SESSIONS. Nearly all have had advanced degrees (Masters, JDs or PhDs), had command of two or more languages and had 5 or more years of professional experience when they first became ICAP Fellows. Current employment of ICAP alumni is roughly similar in sector distribution to their distribution when recruited although there has been much movement across sectors and to more senior positions. At present, 61% are at middle to senior level positions in government, with the State Department (including 12 current or former Ambassadors) and USAID most heavily represented but many from Agriculture, the International Trade Commission, Labor, Commerce, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Government Accountability Office, the Center for Disease Control, Hill staff and others as well; 19.5% are in NGOs (including several executive directors) and foundations (including senior program officers); 7.6% are in the private sector (including a number of CEOs and other senior officers); 2.4% are in educational or research institutions; and 1.5% are in state and local governments. The remaining 8% are independent consultants, in media or entertainment, in transition between positions or retired.
The diversity of alumni in employment sectors ensures a wide range of perspectives on international issues and provides trusted and supportive individuals to whom alumni can turn for help on both personal and professional matters. Having senior Congressional staff, non-governmental leaders, private sector executives and officials from across governmental agencies as an on-going support group is invaluable.
Women have accounted for 68.3% of the total number of participants and men were 31.7%. 46.1% of the participants have identified as Black/African-American, 28.5% have identified as Asian-American, 20.3% identified as Latinx-Americans, 1% identified as Native American/American Indians and 4% have identified as non-Hispanic White participants. While applicants have not been asked this question, a significant number have self-identified with the LBGTQ+ community. On occasion, there have been chair-bound and visually impaired Fellows as well. This diversity ensures that the program is not focused only on the issues faced by a particular marginalized group but by problems of marginalization more broadly. "
A WEEK in Aspen in September, the same time the ships are trying to get OMN funds for critical unfunded requirements prior to the end of the fiscal year. Someone must have borrowed the duty brain in N1 for senior leaders to allow this to happen.
Our GS Nomenklatura and Diversity Zampolit require their training. The death by suicide of a few proles in the yards is but an insgnificant price in their mission to further DEI.
"This is a highly competitive program...". Am sure that is correct. An 8x10 glossy B&W photo may be required because that's the best way to sort out problematic applicants without having to read all those applications. A picture speaks a thousand words, and it doesn't lie like a bunch of word-smithed supplicant-speak can. By Gar, if it worked to weed out fatties, officers with too daring facial hair and "uglies" for promotion and assignments back in the day, it'll work for ICAP. I dunno. Maybe swab the inner cheek and send it off to determine one's haplogroup? Simpler, fairer?
Oh come on Sal, we have a CNO that's a diversity hire, who's surprised here. We're going to stager into the next war as unprepared and shocked as we staggered into Korea. As much as I despise FDR and his whole coterie of socialists, they at least had us starting to prep before WWII punched us in the nose.
I have a strong guess that NSA Millington is NOT on the Russian or PRC nuclear target list. Far better for their purposes if we simply screw ourselves into the deck. I note with some sardonic level of humor that the BUPERS mailing address is 5720 Integrity Drive, Millington, TN 38055.
Aspen Colorado? Sounds like a paid vacation.
This is so irritating I might have to "Shereka" about this! (Hint: POC listed)

We need people to attend ICAF and learn something useful like how to produce weapons not ICAP where they will be indoctrinated with Marxist claptrap.
Why hasn’t the SECNAv and the CNO - the lady with a degree in journalism - been summoned before the HASC and SASC to explain her funding priorities?

our military is not serious. our military is not trained for combat.

Further evidence that the HR designator needs to just go away.
