Oh God No!!!!

No more Torpedomen? What the hell is this about? It was bad enough when they made us Torpedomen without a 0746,0748.0749 NEC into MMs, but now Gunner's Mates? There is tradition here! My heart is now truly broken.

I remember vaguly they were going to merge Missle Techs with Gunners Mates back when I was in.
I think the rate should stay torpedo mate and be a sub force only rank after all when the fuck was the last time one of our beloved boats had a freaking gun?
