Drew, I understand your concern. I can tell you the reason for the collisions are lack of training, OJT, and experience. The Navy in its infinite wisdom decided to screw around with the rating system. In other words, they want to cross train the crew to do many different tasks in order to save money. Where you use to have career navigators, you now have barely trained electricians, electronic techs, and others maybe plumbers driving the ship after a short qualification period that has nothing on experience. Arguing this is the reason to keep people out of ground troops is not relevant​.
