Captain Dudley Morton used to walk around the USS Wahoo in his boxer shorts and a tee shirt.....but I bet his crew still addressed him as Captain. I think in the military you don't have to respect or even like the person, but you're supposed to respect the rank.
Yea, I like the story of the CO that got called to stations why in the shower. He came out and took the scope wearing a towel. When the scope went up, his towel fell off, leaving him totally naked, but all did their jobs and the attack went off with success. Actually think it was the CO of the Wahoo before Dudley, considered by O'Kane to be rather a coward.

Anyway Donna, thank you for respecting my fake rank as Admiral..
