One thing I learned is that both Officer's or Enlisted all put their pants on the same way. We are all in the same boat at one time or another. And we all know that. Enlisted takes the orders and hopes that the officer giving them will gives them the best chance to accomplish their task. Whereas, the Office hopes his men can pull off his plan and not get killed in the process.
I've worked for many Officer's over the years some are good and some just should pull the plug and go elsewhere. The same applies to enlisted personnel. Some are good and some are just putting in their time.
All and all we all know our place and what our duties are if we do it then there is really no issues to consider. I've been invited to Officer's clubs and they've been with us on the shore. So it all depends on the circumstances.
But I like the old timers the Chief's and the guys with 15 or more years as they have the best stories and most of them really want you see the lighter side of the service. But if war is enacted they are all more than capable of handling any situation - Why? cause they've been their once or twice before you have.
