The XO is known as the “@$$hole”.
Only if he is doing his job properly.
The XO plays bad cop to the CO's good cop.
Being an XO is training for being a CO. Being a CO is not a place to be doing on the job training.
Everybody wants to be a Captain until it is time to do Captain stuff with lives on the line.
