Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Funny headline, but less dramatic article, and explanation.

There's currently no active sailors capable of taking over for the one retiring.

Using LinkedIn to reach RETIRED naval officers with the requisite qualifications to come back for a 2 year position.

Also, they already use LinkedIn for recruiting in similar situations, although this is the highest ranking officer role they've used LinkedIn for.

“Nuclear Rear-Admiral” was my nickname in high school.

There's not one single person they could promote for this?

Just curious I can't imagine the list of people who are qualified is very long. Wouldn't it have been better to just cold call them all and invite them to apply?
