When I was in, signing off on someone without making sure they knew what it is they are supposed to would get you a Captain’s Mast or worse.
An officer will ask questions to determine in the end if you know what they say you know.
If he finds you don’t, he is going back to those who said he did and they are going to be deep in the bilge.
Maybe this crap flew on a Supply Ship but not the elite Navy Combat Ships.
I last served in 1994 so maybe that has changed, if so the entire command chain needs to be canned for being obvious to their battle readiness.
The Navy is between a rock and a hard place. If they kicked out everyone for gundecking, it'd be half the fleet. If they stringently verified proficiency for the massive number of qualifications they now mandate for even the simplest task, they'd have nobody qualified to do anything.
What they really need to do is revamp their training programs. Focus on the fundamentals. Do we really need sign-offs that we read 15 publications, a 30 item QPT, triple proficiency repetitions and a 25 question exam to be qualified to open a hangar door? IT'S ONE BUTTON!
