Must be that environmentally friendly paint that’s going to help stop global warming.
It’s pronouns are No/maintenance
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This
Holy smokes! No warfighting equipment should ever look like that, especially a US Navy warship! This is merely a symptom of the breakdown of good order and discipline military wide. It’s time to retire.
All the little swabs have a cell phone that Uncle Sammy gave them. Should they be assigned to some maint detail on the ship while in the yard, more likely than not they will be summoned by a chief or other petty officer and pulled off of the work detail for some administrative purpose. They rarely come back before it is time to clean up for the day. It is not really the sailor’s fault, the system keeps pulling them in 10 directions at the same time. They are effectively useless in almost any task that requires using tools to repair something. Some of them can paint pretty well, but they get it everywhere, including on themselves in the process. The Navy approach to poor shipboard or worksite cleanup is to have “all hands on deck” to get it done. This usually results in 60 or so co-ed sailors who were not scheduled for pronoun training pretending to do the work that 10 people should have been able to accomplish. They clean and maintain to standards and not to time. Their standard is 1700 hrs. Clean or not, they declare mission accomplished at that the designated time and leave. No one with any rank ever comes to inspect the work.
