Trump did a tweet, the Navy said that what Trump tweeted wasn't how they operate, and wouldn't be changing the way things are done.
Yes. Trump tweeted something he thought would make him sound tough, and the Navy told him to shove it up his ass, although in politically correct language.
Would you talk to your commanding officer that way while enlisted ??
TDS is real.
Something tells me that Iran ain't that dumb
Right, because they don't have nukes yet.
No but we do, and they don't want no part of that.
Actually, there have been times where I have had to correct my division officers, and sometimes my CO's, and yes, I would tell them that they couldn't do something and would put it in correct language, but I would still be very clear in my point.
Although...................on my first ship, there was one time that I wasn't really politically correct. We got a new division officer transferred in to replace one that had been a GREAT officer. He actually took the time to learn what we did, and we made sure that what we did in the office made him shine. Well, the guy who replaced him was someone who had just come in from a reservist station as CO, and the first thing he said when he got into the office was that he was a LT, had been a CO of the station he had just left, and there was nothing we could teach him because he knew it all already.
Well, every time I gave him an OCR document, he would whip out a ruler and start checking to see if the characters were aligned, and he was good at checking that, but he knew NOTHING about what kinds of codes and stuff we used, because reserve paperwork is much different than active duty. So, I typed up a document that was beautiful and perfect in the character alignment, but was totally screwed as far as the information went. In one of the lines, I was trying to give Admiral pay to a Seaman. LT Raymond checked it with his ruler, told me that I did a good job, signed it and gave it back. I then took the document and dropped it on the PN1's desk, and said "June, look what your LT just signed and told me what a good job I did."
June read all the screwed up information on it, grabbed the LT and took him out in the hall to tell him how badly he had just screwed up in signing that document. From that day on, the LT was double checked by the Firsts in the office because he knew nothing.
Me? I ended up being volunteered for the cargo division for the cruise, but it was worth it. Cool part is that a week after I hit the cargo division, they took me out of the holds and put me in the cargo office because I could type around 80 wpm. Matter of fact, the LT did me a favor, because I got better liberty being where I was than if I had stayed in the ship's office.
I've also taken on Admirals and won, because I knew the book better than just about anyone else.
