1. DOD Cuts

That is why you can not just blindly ask for the MIC to be cut. Those of us who have served know and knew that the balancing act will fall on the backs of the troops. Senior Leadership (AKA Perfumed Princes) will always protect their Fiefdoms and make the junior personnel shoulder the burdens. Both parties Will hold military members hostage to push forth their agendas no matter the consequence to individual troops or overall effectiveness.

In this time of cuts, the Navy just stood up a new command, Navy Office of Hazing Prevention. Even though each Command all ready has CMEO personnel that report strait to the CO and higher. This will no doubt be lead by a Flag Officer with all the trappings and a bunch of Zero's that will add no value to leadership and command.
