Bannon's Naval Service (Eff his stupid a$$)

So some shitstain reporter writes a "puff" piece about how Bannon's warped fucking world view was formed by his time in the Navy.

Article should be titled; "How Steve Bannon somehow managed to get a reporter to make him look like a hero and blame Presidnet Carter at the same time"

What complete horseshit!


I recently retired after 30 years in the Navy. 15 Enlisted where I rose to the rank of SCPO, and then 15 as a LDO Navy "Mustang" Officer, where I promoted to the rank of LCDR. Ran out of daylight before getting a "look" at O5, and was timed-out. Loved just about every minute of it BTW.

This Bannon asshat is an embarrassment to the Navy and to Naval Officers everywhere!

(Excuse me, but I'm going to use some Bo'sun language as I talk about Bannon)

This "effing" prick served 7 years as a junior Naval Officer. In other words..."I peed more water than he fucking sailed through".

7 years in means he was "maybe" a Lieutenant. You know what you have to do to make LT in the Navy? You have to be breathing and not have killed anyone. That's it!

- You do 2 years as an Ensign/O1, you get AUTOMATICALLY promoted to LTJG/O2

- You do 2 years as a LTJG/O2, you get AUTOMATICALLY promoted to LT/O3

Do you know why you get out after 3 years as a LT? It's because you got "passed-over" for promotion to LCDR/O4. The promotion percentage to O4 is about 85%. You have to 'try' to not make O4. Someone along the way. Some Captain saw this asshole for what he was and stomped on his dick when it came Fitness Report time.

C'mon Stevie...you're so "fucking" proud of your 7 years as a JUNIOR Officer...show us your Fitness Reports!

This "frickin' story makes it appear as if "fat-Stevie" was commanding a fucking Destroyer or something. He was a "fucking" JUNIOR Officer for God's sake.

I guarantee you this prick was as far away from the fucking bridge of a ship as his Commanding Officer could arrange.

If a failed mission with plenty of blame to go around is what it takes to make a person a racist, fascist, or bigot, then I have a question for Steve "Look At Me I Played Sailor" Bannon.

What do 19 Axe Body Spray wearing pricks with box-cutters tell you about "Presidential Leadership".??

Fuck this entire story.

First - it makes it appear that Steve "I can't get into my Dress Blues" Bannon is some kind of fucking Admiral Zumwalt.

Second - it's just an excuse to blame President Carter (A True Naval Hero) for Bannon's Nazi views.

Fuck this story and the prick who wrote it.

2. OMG! Loved this!

Write book - you can communicate!!

3. EXACTLY! Same in the air force.

A year and a half as a second balloon got you 1st Lt.
Three more years got you Captain.

5. In the Army during the Vietnam War it was faster

1 year from 2nd Lieutenant to 1st and 1 year from 1st Lieutenant to Captain. That made it easier to advance in rank at a young age.

6. Yeah. High attrition, sadly.

10. Thanks!

Hearing from the inside is always valuable information. Those who don't know (most of us) have no clue how this works. But I could smell a rat a mile away, just because Bannon has a tail. But others don't care to look at the moron behind the self-promotion.

12. He is such an embarrassment to any who wore

Or wears the uniform. The overwhelming majority of those I served with were fantastic people. There were always a few that made you want to take a shower just for walking by them.

This guy would have required a full British Mark 5 CBR suit just to be in the same room with him.

Some Junior Officers get out because they served honorably and just want to do something else. Some get out because they're such dirtbags that they know they have no future.

Believe me... Bannon fits the latter
