“Of course being a former Marine kinda inoculates me from it.......”
*********
I’m a Navy vet so believe me I get it. But personally, I just don’t see the need for it.
Years ago I had the privilege of working in a very large, high profile Navy program managed by an 0-6. Never heard any profanity from him despite the immense pressures of the job; total self-control and so respected on every level that swearing wasn’t necessary. And he wasn’t a particularly religious guy, just someone with total confidence and professionalism in what he was doing.
We had a Gunny that was also an ordained minister, I don’t recall which denomination.
But he had a plaque on his desk that read “Profanity is the sound of an ignorant mind trying to express itself.”
He did not allow profanity in the shop..............
