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. 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.
