Navy Will Hire Civilians As Chiefs And Captains Out Of Boot Camp

Yes, because this will go over well when it starts.

the Air Force is thinking about this too. No one will respect a 1 TIS MSgt or TSgt. But my only thing is if they do start doing this they better make sure that individual is there to just do a job; not be a supervisor or have any real authority.

Not a good idea - what's the point?
