Typical...when I was in, we had 100% polyester khakis that were worn in the engineering spaces...a Boiler Officer (yes, I’m that old) had a flash back when lighting one off, his uniform melted onto his skin and he died a slow, agonizing death three weeks later...criminal.
If he was in the Main Space during Light-Off w/ a 100% Poly Uniform on then:
No 1 your MMC,MM1,BT1 or BTC was NOT doing his JOB if he let this happen AND...
No 2 he was prob a DUMB ASS Naval “Academy” grad!
