You gave me numbers that show how many new people are trained in maintenance, you gave zero information about how many people in the military TOTAL are maintenance personnel. I've explained why your numbers are meaningless already.

We don't train people to mop the boat, everyone does that. That's my point, every skilled technician also does the menial shit, we just take turns doing it. You don't know that because you aren't in the military, or you'd be aware of things like duty section and watch rotation, and how cross trained people are.

Imagine having the money and space to have someone who's only job is swabbing a deck, ridiculous. I'll take my experience and just fuck off I guess because someone looked up the incorrect statistic for the argument and thinks it proves their point.

Hey listen, it's OK you think everyone is a trained super genius who is in the military, my only fucking point was you over estimating how many are trained specialist in high tech fields, I said .01% you said 20-40%. I gave you a few percent and will agree on max maybe 10%. And if you dont think the military spends a lot of money on BS or menial jobs I have a bridge to sell you, and proof is they have highly trained tech geniuses wasting time moping floors instead of using their genius for more important things. The military is known for wasteful spending, like spending 10000 on a single screw because they can so I wouldn't put it past them to pay a person to just mop. And as for my numbers they all can be found on the dod website you fucking dipshit. Enjoy the military, hopefully you don't get sent off to die for some rich people
