I guess US NAVY is a strictly "NO FUN ALLOWED" shop these days.

Submarine crews are known to be some rowdy motherfuckers, it wouldn't surprise me if they've hired entire brothels for crews in the past :sun:

CO does something fun for his crew, gets fired. But the rear end in a top hat who goes around going "WHERE IS YOUR PT BELT!?!?!?!" gets a pass.

"HMAS Sydney posted:

On the evening of 7 July, Sydney departed from Alexandria as part of a fleet including four other light cruisers, three battleships, an aircraft carrier, and sixteen destroyers, divided into three groups. The three groups were to rendezvous on 9 July at a point 120 nautical miles (220 km; 140 mi) east of Cape Passero and 150 nautical miles (280 km; 170 mi) from Malta, at which point the destroyers would escort two convoys outbound from Malta, while the other vessels would attack targets of opportunity around Sicily. However, early on 8 June, the British submarine HMS Phoenix reported that she had unsuccessfully attacked an Italian fleet including two battleships. Throughout the day, the fleet had to defend itself from multiple Italian air raids: at one point Sydney and the other cruisers of the 7th Squadron attacked what they thought was a high-flying bomber, but was later determined to be the planet Venus.

He wrote like five episodes of X Files and two of Millennium and all of them are among the best of their series.

They need to have a group of guys that have gotten up to E-4 and then been busted down to E-2 a minimum of three times as a test group for things like this. Let them go hog wild and see how they can gently caress the things up. If nature always makes a better idiot, round the best idiots up and harness their idiocy.
