The primary reason I did not re-enlist for a third stretch was the fear of having such a CO again, because if we did go into harm's way the attitude that people like him embraced would have probably killed allot of good men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-90761066844018643062013-01-05T10:01:37.604-08:002013-01-05T10:01:37.604-08:00Reminds me of the Weapons Officer on the Schofield...Reminds me of the Weapons Officer on the Schofield.

When he got a Navy Achievement medal (from lots of kiss ass to the previous C.O.) the new C.O. presented it to him at morning quarters in the wardroom. He told him to hold out his hand and dropped the medal into it in front of everyone. The the C.O. says "see, there is a Santa Clause isn't there?"

I think that all of us salts had at least one "Farquad" aboard, and it is a VERY fresh breath of salt air hearing that at least ONE got what he/she deserved! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
