The Navy called them Stewards Mates and they ‘hand and foot’ waited on, picked up after etc etc etc ALL the Officers aboard ship. The Rating badge was a ‘Half Moon’

Hate to ask what you have to do to get a full moon rating...

Be able to make beds, shine shoes, cook, serve, wait on, clean, hmmm sounds like ‘home away from home’ or what ‘wifely’ duties were prior them becoming Generals/Admirals/CEOs etc.
(Those that have been in Olangapo remember that some of those ‘slight’ Philipino ‘bum boys’ were the forerunners of hes trying to pass as shes...Bangkok Thailand another forerunner...) Just a comment of actuality not saying ‘they’ were the complete package.

Ran across a name a Steward had several years ago - first name was Admiral.

Can just picture previous ‘wardrooms’ sitting around deciding to treat the Stewards with a little more warmth by calling them by their first name.
Worked fine with the Carlos’, Jose`s’ Vic(torinos) etc etc etc.

Then along comes ADMIRAL Jones and the policy has toget dumped.
