The DoD is implementing a new workforce category to address some of the deficiencies you mentioned [0].

Along with a compensation boost relative to the GS payscale, it provides more flexibility in hiring and firing civilian employees.

This is the rest of the paragraph:

> Artificial material seems to be present in chamber C. The origin is under investigation, but a probable source is aluminium scraped off the spacecraft sampler horn as the projectile was fired to stir up material during touchdown.

My experience was the total opposite of yours, as a former fast attack submariner. Don't know if things have gotten more strict or more lax, but my experience is now about 5 years outdated.

Things that didn't happen in "my reality" include the Ferguson race riots, San Bernadino shooting, the shooting at the heavy metal concert in France (?), the Mediterranean immigration crisis, and Trump becoming the Republican front runner. We were on pre-deployment work ups and then deployment. We were lucky to get a batch of sports scores.

I guess it depends on the mission and the command's digression.

For a unique view on leadership, i recommend the Jocko Podcast[0]. Approximately one third of his podcasts are directly about leadership from a military command and control perspective, and he does great interviews with his guests.
