an interesting tidbit to the article: when the Navy ended photos going to promotion boards, the promotion rate for minorities actually FELL. So that proved their theory that photos were being used to discriminate....; however, they were discriminating against WHITE people. That is why the Navy is considering going back to using photos in the boards. We had a great discussion about that yesterday with one of my guys who is a Naval Commander in the Reserves.
Of course the Army is going full speed ahead with its diversity, equity, and inclusion bullshit and stopping the practice of photos going into boards. (insert nose-picking GIF 'here').
