<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nApparently, someone thinks that Millennials are an entirely different race of humans who need to be handled differently than their predecessors in Naval service according to a link sent to us by Louis to Military.com<\/a>;<\/p>\n The U.S. Navy is looking for ways to adapt its training for millennials, young people raised in a child-centric culture who want and expect nurturing relationships with their bosses, the commanding officer of the submarine school in Groton said Friday.<\/p>\n Navy Capt. Andrew Jarrett, a self-described member of ‘Generation X,’ said that as commander of the submarine school he has made it a priority to focus on mentoring.<\/p>\n “For millennials, it’s very important for them to have a relationship with their boss, just like they had with their parents,” Jarrett said during a talk with a submarine veterans’ group. “They don’t want to be friends but they want you to care about them and give them feedback.”<\/p>\n While some see the craving for feedback as a weakness, Jarrett said it could be a benefit if it’s embraced by the Navy. He said the chief of naval operations has indicated his office is reviewing changes that may help tailor training for the new generation of sailors and officers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The thing that has made the military culture so successful is that we’ve always made newbies to adapt to the existing culture, not adapting the culture to some civilian standard of behavior. I think the Navy is getting this backwards. But, you know, this what I’ve come to expect from Mabus and the boys in the damper services. They’re so fricken smart that they know better than history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
