man would i love to see her personnel fileDo they expect me to believe that she graduated SWO Basic, job school, plus qualified as Engineering Officer of the Watch, CIC Watch Officer, & Officer of the Deck in less than 2 years? Were they ever in port?
The CO, XO, and the Department Heads need to be relieved for cause and cashiered if not imprisoned.
I qualified SWO in 1981 after one and a half deployments and it was a grueling process. Nevertheless, such a situation would not have happened on my ship or on my watch. I also qualified as TAO shortly thereafter.

man would i love to see her personnel file You're not going to like this. There is no more SWOS Basic, and hasn't been since 2003. They give them a set of CD/ROMs these days - I swear I am not making this up. See HERE. I hope your jaw didn't hurt when it hit the table. These young officers are working for CO's and XO's who also never attended SWOS Basic. Somebody thought online training and a little OJT was enough. The chickens, as the linked article says, have come home to roost.
