On our sub we had a group of old salts. We had great respect for them. Then they transfered and we got a group of the most worthless, spineless chiefs I had ever seen. We called our sonar chief "The Jellyfish" to his face.
Some men are just not cut out for the job. And if you've got a bad chief then the division doesn't function properly. I could tell some stories, too, but I don't think it would be appropriate since my husband is still in.
We all have those kinda stories! But I kinda wish I had listened to some of the more hardnosed chiefs, they were just trying to adjust my attitude for the better!
