Bring back the Surface Warfare Officers School, instead of handing fresh Ensigns a box of Cd’s.

Ship Captains fare no better - getting only OJT on arrival at their ship.

Very good school back in 1974. One of my classmates learned a hard lesson about relative motion one day in Narragansett Bay. I was conning a YP in slot #4 of a diamond formation when he was ordered to re-position himself from the port wing of the formation to the starboard. His decision to turn 90 degrees, regardless of the formation’s forward speed nearly caused a collision. Fortunately, I ordered “All back full” in time, but he got chewed out just the same. Pretty cheap lesson that day.

“Bring back the Surface Warfare Officers School”

Are you kidding? They abolished SWO school?

I look forward to the time when the last leftist tumbles through the gates of Hell.
