Yeah, this is a real crap-shoot. Especially when it comes to 'promoting' seaman. Who really cares how many stripes a common swabbie has? You can't tell who they are during patrol anyway unless you highlight one and check his stripes. But hey, it's all in keeping with my God-like status on the boat...
I
do make sure I've got several of the much-needed 'Chiefs' (like torpedomen, gunners, flak gunners, watchmen, and of course, a repairman and a medic).
Now, handing out medals,
there's the problem.... :hmm:
