Revoking Trump s Military Transgender Ban Isn t Enough | Opinion Kristin Beck On 1/26/21 at 6:57 PM EST
I am not jumping for joy.
Don t get me wrong, this is great news but it was already done in 2016 by President Obama and fully supported by Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter. The policy was overturned by President Trump with another executive order. Now the tennis ball has been hit the other way. Meanwhile, there are over 15,000 transgender Americans serving in uniform at this time in history. Thousands more were kicked out or left the military due to President Trump s banishment. Thousands of highly qualified and trained military personnel were unceremoniously dismissed from military service.

Navy SRB budget will drop in 2017 September 22, 2016 Sailors assigned to Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit 5 get underway for diving operations from a Mark VI Patrol Boat during Valiant Shield 2016 in Santa Rita, Guam.

Roy Kitchener said during the Surface Navy Association’s annual symposium.
The Navy announced the rollout plan for its new, Expanded Operational Stress Control Program, in NAVADMIN 332/20, released on Dec. 21.
The message marks the implementation of a new and more comprehensive approach to operational stress control across the fleet and includes implementation and training requirements for commands in the coming year.
The program, known by the abbreviation E-OSC, is no longer just a pre-deployment training check. Instead, the Navy has shifted to an around the clock, peer-to-peer mentality in educating the fleet and identifying those impacted by operational stress.
This new focus was initially announced in NAVADMIN 222/19. In the year since, the Navy has revamped the entire program, producing not only a new command-level approach, but also producing new training and related educational materials needed to fuel this cultural shift in the fleet.
