DavyJonesLocker,
Where does it say in any manual that the Diving Officers position had to
be manned by an officer - none that I am aware of.
I also take offense of you calling a Chief Petty Officer, 1st Class Petty Officer,
or even a 2nd Class Petty Officer a Bilge Rat. Each one of those ranks would
have spent more time on a sub toilet, then you have spent playing the game
or even been on a submarine.
For your information, they would put the best QUALIFIED person in that
position, no matter what his rating was.
