So McJersey wants applications for commander from interested captains and lieutenants who have a year in grade.
Does that mean anyone not having a year in grade will be declared ineligible and demoted? Because there's at least one commander right now who didn't even have 90 days as a lieutenant before being promoted and if you looked at his actual promotion date, is still almost two months short of having a single year in grade as lieutenant. But he's connected, so does that count?
And as he's restricting it to lieutenant and captain, does that mean no more Keatings, no more Cronins, no more civilians as exempts?
We noticed that they already had to amend the order once seeing as how they "forgot" to include certain commanders from even having a recommendation. Is it true that anyone having been recommended by Carothers or listing him as a reference is having their application placed in the "round file?" That's the joke making the rounds at HQ.
