Treat everyone like a normal human person who has issues/problems/a life outside of work and you won't be an annoying fuckstick.

One of my old captains on USS LASTBOAT grabbed a pair of work gloves and loaded stores with ships crew in the hard rain for the entire duration, he stayed late that night to finish all of his normal O-5 work that got pushed to the side because of it. He knew it was important to the crew that he helped out since he had to call them in on a weekend just to load food. He may have overstepped, but gained a poo poo ton of respect from it.

I'm sick with fever and poo poo on the end of holiday standown. I feel like a shitbag for not coming in after 4 days off (and 2 weeks of half-days before that) so I guess I'm gonna take some motrins and suck it up.

Idk, if you call people in on the weekend because its important, you better be in line. Good for him.
