As the Navy continues to transition and consolidate its old and diffuse pay and benefits systems into something resembling 21st century digital infrastructure, the sea service is asking that sailors quit trolling the MyNavy HR Facebook page so hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But even leadership admits there\u2019s some justification for the onslaught of snark on many of the page\u2019s posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sailors, both active duty and recently retired, have seen their pay, benefits and healthcare subjected to a variety of glitches over the past year as part of the modernization effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And while officials last summer portrayed the transition as a temporary diversion on the path to something greater, problems still persist across the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sailors are understandably frustrated. Back in the olden days, these sailors and their spouses might\u2019ve commiserated in person, perhaps over a beer. Thanks to the internet, however, the virtual commiseration point is the comments section of many MyNavy HR Facebook posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
