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.

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