Navy creates concubine rating

“For the last time, this is not the same as SWCC."

Filed · 0501

THE PENTAGON — Navy officials today announced the creation of a new rating, or military occupational specialty, to enable concubines to serve alongside elite Navy SEALs.

“For the last time, this is not the same as SWCC,” or naval special warfare combat crewmen, said Rear Adm. Charles W. Brown. “We are adding concubines to further amplify the alphaness and lethality of these vaunted warriors, at the very apt, coherent, and not weird suggestion of clearly the most alpha of the alphas who ever alpha-ed, Robert O’Neill.”

“The Concubine rate will be open to any and all genders - DADT is gone, and if guys like O’Neill want to do butt stuff with cucks, let them do butt stuff with cucks,” Brown added.
