Admiral John Richardson, the Chief of Naval Operations, says that he misjudged the fierce loyalty of the force to their ratings and ranks according to the Navy Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

“I underestimated how fiercely loyal people were to their rating, I’ve gotten a fair amount of feedback on that,” Richardson said Tuesday during an all-hands call Dec. 6 at Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada. <\/p>\n

“I tell you, in the Navy we are members of many tribes. So first and foremost, we are members of the Navy tribe. that’s our principal tribe. But what other tribes are we part of? Rates; warfare specialty; Command. … So we kind of [underestimated] the loyalty with which people affiliated themselves with that rating tribe. So as we go forward, we’ll learn.” <\/p>\n

The rapid cancellation of the centuries-old tradition generated an overwhelmingly negative response from sailors. But in the end, Richardson judged it was better to move quickly and make adjustments rather than spend months kicking ideas around and developing a full implementation plan, he told sailors. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I get the sense that Big Navy knew there was going to be a huge backlash, so they rushed the plan out in order to get the changes they wanted before it was too late. I think it was the final straw for many Navy folks after eight years of bucking naval tradition.<\/p>\n
