| Message | Unfortunately, the TIP cannot support this bill. The C-in-C should not mark off on every officer, that is too top heavy and inefficient. |

| Message | Did not read the caption. Therefore, we cannot support the election of NCOs as that cannot possibly make for efficient or effective battlefield command. Especially not for the Navy (which the TIP believes should be the dominant military arm). |
