Yep, I get told all the time that I have a bad attitude. the reason they say my attitude is bad is because, and I qoute, "When you see something that is you call them on it. And that is going to get in your way of making rank. Stop calling and your attitude problem should go away also." So yea, I guess integrity is no longer part of the Navy ethos.

the DC area is pretty bad.. it's all about careers and politics - particularly around the Pentagon and Ft. Meade.. I hear it all the time from retired military types etc.
It is military-wide, not just the desk jockey sector.

Been like that for a long time in other services. My dad who retired in 79-80 after 36 years said he should never have made it past lieutenant and never did get his star because he refused to play the political games necessary. He was fine with that because knowing he would never get to General allowed him to continue to be a straight shooter. I laugh at him when he tells me to try and play the political games necessary to advance in my corp. I know I am never going any higher so I have the freedom to do as I please.
