I agree. These people make it much easier to distinguish yourself.

I saw the start of this in the Navy though, I distinctly remember my Chief (this was shore duty mind you) say, “I’m doing you folks* no favors by cutting the work day so short”. But we always made sure we got our stuff* done and covered our Chief’s toosh*.

And yes, my first 36 hour workday was in the private sector was a wake up call, but only a wake up to life on the f’ing* boat.

*insert salty language here

**also if my CPO, SCPO, MCPO (or hell random noob) ever tried to engage in a ticklefight with me, he was getting punched in the face. Multiple times.

Ticklefight? Yeah, can't say I ever saw one. Although we taped up a few nubs on the boat, to say nothing of the RC tunnel post-Field Day tag team mass wrestling between M & RL-Div versus E & RC-Div. Nothing breaks up the tension like a couple of RO's body slamming an ELT.
