This article is awful and degrading. The overall point seems to be that these people are above these jobs, as they point out "some even have college degrees". Just because they have college degrees they are too good for manual labor? I am sure if they are capable they could move over to one of the other more highly skilled fields within the navy like Intelligence, Nukes, etc. But otherwise this whole article reeks of classism. The entire military basically sells on people doing amazing things, but 99% of people end up scraping paint and fixing trucks, that's just life, and there's nothing wrong with doing those jobs.
