Re: Bloody insolent mutineers...
 

I accidentally promoted my WO before I realized I had not yet attained that particular rank. And wasn't HE mister know-it-all until I recieved my own promotion two patrols later.

Talk about insolent looks from the crew. You guys have no idea.
It's just that I don't think much about things like rank. I like to think we are all equals on my boat in our glorious war effort. I encourage everyone to join in a "big hug!" after each ship sinking. :lol: And I try to have some "circle time stories" in the conning tower each day when the seas aren't too rough.

These - along with sharing a plush toy or snuggle-blanket with the men who are having trouble sleeping - have all been very good ideas.

But promoting the WO ahead of me, bad, bad, bad.

My crew enjoys "Schnitzel night" tuesday on my boat and love it. I've had no mutinous or insolent behavior from my men. Maybe you should give it a try.


P.S. Remember to include mustard in your provisions. I tell ya, I learned THAT lesson the hard way! Whooooo! :oops:

Hmmmm... it's not so easy to get the crew happy... :hmm:

Last week I tried to organice the "U-boat Champions League" and was a total failure:
Many dials broken by the ball, a lot of injuries against the scope mast, the pipes, hatches... and the referee was launched from tube one for not seeing an off-side... :dead:

I tried hockey night when I was still commanding a type II. It was a disaster. We lost our chief engineer to a skate blade which severed his jugular. That's when I decided we would have no theme nights on the boat.

(I caught my navigator trying to smuggle a pachisi board on the boat, but I told him in no uncertain terms that if he ever tries anything like that again, he'll find himself in charge of the motorboats in Kiel harbour so fast his Kopf will spin)

I've brought twenty gallons of ketchup (Heinz, of course). Will that do?

Wow! I will now be referring anyone who claims computer games dull the imagination to this site. :sunny:

You see? This is exactly what I'm talking about. Spare the rod, spoil the child :nope:

They DID warn that SHIII would take up a lot of one's time, but reading what Skubber wrote... There seems to be a step beyond 1xTC warfare. :rotfl:

It's just a big, happy, Yellow Submarine, at whatever speed .... :D :D :D


... er, I think I mean happy Yellow U-boat. (Somebody get this damn walrus off me!!!)



( :hmm: Say, a yellow submarine skin mod. Now there's an idea...)

No, FULL TIGER STRIPES!!! :D

"The floggings will continue until morale improves" (or until the berrie-bandit is found.)

That's the wisdom of a true morale officer! ;)

I'd still donate 300k of tonnage to anyone that would secure me a VIIC in orange-yellow paint with tiger stripes all over. :-j

I think the yellow flower-power boat is a more... groovy idea :)


(What do you know, there really is a yellow submarine. The Beatles' tour sub? :-j )
