my dad was accused by a black female sailor as being racist as he yelled at her and one other female for being on the flight line without their safety equipment, come to find out after his investigation that she was moved out of a squadron for several false racist accusations. my dad yelled at everyone that needed to be yelled at even officers
over 5 yrs ago, I lectured a black woman new Academy graduate on OpSec within the USAF. She youtube posted on sitting on a full pallet of ordnance for a fighter jet loadout. She openly advertised created time to study for her civilian fitness certification on a flightline. I happen to know the base and uniform command patches. I openly grilled her for the OpSec violation, then emailed the base commander of violation, with pic, her "cards" claiming victim upon correction. Before suddenly transferred elsewhere, my direct language clearly showed my previous enlisted experience before changing rank structures. Further investigation with remaining Academy contacts revealed meeting a quota criteria with AVERAGE student grades.
Thats the exact reason why I prefer working with males. Every male solider I worked with or had conversations with has always had a heart of mentorship. Black women are not the only ones, Latina females also!
Good day Staff Sergeant Wilson, really appreciate your thoughts on our culture and how we can navigate our the changing force. The military is shifting in it's demographics and with that we are facing new experiences and challenges. Professionalism and mentorship should be an active thing amongst our NCOs for our troops and upholding our values needs to be a priority now more than ever!
You have to be who you are!!! I agree be proud and professional!!! But don’t fake the funk. Soldiers will pick up on that immediately. If the military isn’t for you , it’s not for you. Fulfill you enlistment and be on your way. But if it is for you grab it by the balls and run with it!!! Cause y’all know we have to work twice as hard to get the recognition that we deserve. We’re definitely in the man’s military
Can we normalize calling ourselves women and not females, female is gender a womanhood is what we grow into it’s part of our humanity . It also kinda reduces us to less than what we are which is women when we are referred to as females. 🤷🏽♀️🫶🏽🐾
Aye i never serviced but im gonna keep it a stack, you are funny. I felt like i got a lot of info just from listening lol. As a black man I'm sorry to hear this stuff is going on. Much love my sista stay safe out there.
Black marine here. Been in 11 years. The problem I see with black service men and women in general (younger enlisted) they expect you to treat them like a brother or sister. They are still very naive, immature, and impulsive. Don’t really see it among senior enlisted or junior officers. That being said a majority of the black female marines I’ve encountered were very professional. I will say I’ve seen a difference among MOS. I see the ghetto service members stuck in MOS like supply, cooks, and admin. That’s a stereotype too. We need more black folks in other fields more frequently nothing against those service MOS. It’s inspiring to see black men and women in fields like infantry, intelligence, ect. I say that because once upon a time we were deemed incapable.
Hey thanks for sharing. I love your input and i agree with a lot! Im definitely going to speak on some of these topics in a future video. They need to be discussed.
@@ARMYprinncessyes definitely! I saw a young black recon Marine assisting in running a program for youth on Camp Pendleton, that is a huge breath of fresh air!
@linkoraedikuz8139 Is supply really not a good job field ? I want to commission into the navy as a supply corps officer. Is that a god career field ? I also intend on getting a masters degree in supply chain management or an MBA
@@vincentalakija5515 Oh there’s nothing wrong with the job field at all. If anything, supply is NOT a simple job especially for the officer in charge. Even for the enlisted it can be extremely hard work that the in it directly relies upon. I think the skills learned in the military in a supply occupational field probably transfer well to the civilian sector much like logistics/supply chain management. It’s just a common stereotype for black service members to be in typical support rolls like supply, admin, cool ect.
Thank you for the video. I am working on my weight loss to join and I have watched a lot of videos. There are several videos I stopped watching very quickly because the people making the videos are not professional. I appreciate the videos because I know they are trying to help the next person, but they need to sound a little bit more professional and "adult" if they really want to mentor/help people with their journey.
Over my 30 year career, I can sum it up with 1 clear example that lost all of my respect to that crowd. Many don't know the difference btwn a rank and a pay grade. This black woman "E-9" did nothing beyond flaunt her collar in Iraq. It came to a grinding halt pushing aside my guards while not being posted on an access list to my secured area. She was on her face before the 2d footstep. Upon that correction, she then loitered there accomplishing nothing. Upon eventual enemy contact outside our FOB perimeter, was was not found coordinating activities, personnel accountability, etc. She was found at the end of a hallway, under a metal desk, with a half inserted magazine into her pistol. Before the night was over, she was removed from post for acts of cowardice, losing her wreath and diamond. A brave E-7 stepped up, made mistakes, and stayed in the fight. He was instantly promoted to E-8 with the respect of his peers.
I hate to say this, but as a black woman, I will have to say that Us black women give these institutions corporations societies something to stereotype us about most black women do have way too much attitude and are way too spicy for the environment. All of us are being talked about as one entity, so those who hold their professionalism to the highest extent already have multiple swords against them before they can even show what they are about and who they are
As far as looks I respect your opinion. I don’t fully agree with it. I don’t think it’s anything wrong with being pretty or beautiful. Times are changing. I try to make sure I’m in regulation but beautiful. My experience so far hasn’t been good because higher ranking females can be very catty and mean if you’re beautiful. I had a very short hairstyle that was in regulation and the SDS felt the need to try and embarrass me in front of my battle buddies because she felt like she can and she was having a bad day. I went to fix it and nothing looked different and she didn’t make another comment. A lot of women, not all, especially the women of color are very catty and petty and have stank attitudes. It’s already hard enough but dealing with petty females I can deal without.
I never said it was an issue with being pretty in the military. Im a big advocate for that. The problem is when you put that in from of being a good leader, knowing the regulations and not knowing how to act in uniform. Im sorry that happened to you with your leadership. Those are the people im discussing. They be wrong and strong!
I agree with the need for code switching there is a time and place for everything and it’s very important to present your self and the branch you serve in an honorable way.🫶🏽🐾

I hear this a lot! Its sad though. The culture needs to change.

Yes! definitely agree with you. And yes it just is not for everyone.
