As Sam Kinison once said, " These fucking bastards–GET OFF OF OUR BACKS!"
The Navy will kick off its Breathalyzer beta test on Thursday at 13 commands. The tests, which include the U.S. Fleet Forces Command staff and 12 other units, were announced Wednesday.
Rear Adm. Mark D. Guadagnini, FFC’s deputy commander for fleet management, met with the representatives of all the selected units for the initial fleet introduction. Testing will run for the rest of the fiscal year.
“Commands will start collecting data tomorrow, May 24, and we expect to wrap up the beta test on Sept. 30,” said Fleet Master Chief (AW/NAC) Mike Stevens, the top enlisted sailor at FFC. “Once the tests are complete, we will submit the data and the proposed Navy-wide policy up the chain to leadership, who will decide the next step.”
It is so refreshing to see that the Navy has it's priorities straight. They can't seem to get around to firing people for outright negligence-but they can get their panties in a knot over a non-issue.
