Latest guess:

Who knows if it’s true but I’m sure these guys, but commissioned and CMCs, who’ve had multiple combat tours on their way up the ladder, will get lot
out of being lectured by a reserve/NG O4 about being a warrior.
If they do get the wrong coupon, will they have to pay their way back home?
Also heard today: all naval reserve flag billets will be reduced by one star.

Kind of reeks of that, doesn’t it?
I wonder is this is similar to what CNATRA did in 1974 when they brought all the SNAs at Whiting (VT2 and VT-3) into one room. As you entered,
you were given a sealed envelop with your name on it. When instructed, the SNAs opened the envelope and if you had a blue coupon, you went to room A where you were sent home to continue flight training.
If you had a red coupon, you went to another room and found out if you were being released from the Navy with an honorable discharge (Mostly
AOC and AVROCs), or if you were being sent to a boat, supply corps training or whatever (NROTC, Naval Academy Grads).
We instructors were not told how/what the determination was made and this smacks of this event. Hegseth wants to reduce the flag ranks
by 20% or more.
