@SSG T Is this something you could comment on? Is the DEI training and related matters more about inclusion or are there aspects impacting who is getting advancement. Scruddy didn't respond. Thanks
When I retired in 2021, the only thing that training mentioned anything about any LGBTQ+ at all was, basically, they can be who the are, so leave them alone.
There was no Army-wide training on any of it. There was job (MOS or position) related training based on regs/policy. So, for example, they might train 42A (HR personnel) on what the requirements were if someone wanted to "identify" as a different gender (I received the same as a 1SG). And no, they couldn't just walk in one day and say "I'm now this" and it be kosher.
Now, things might get mentioned in annual SA/SH briefs if someone in the unit (generally Brigade level) identified as LGBTQ+, that info would get pushed down from that level and included.
But yeah, there was no specific policy regarding it. And I've not seen nor heard of anything new recently. Most of it is just rumor based of what someone "heard" might be coming down...generally hearing it from someone who doesn't know any more than they themselves do. I mean, we heard all kinds of stuff for decades about how this or that was going to happen, and none of it did.
Much like alien "evidence", unless someone can produce an AR, DA level Memorandum For Record, or some other official document saying "This is what we are now doing", anything you hear, particularly from RW nutcase talking heads, is BS.
