When I was in the Navy lots of people would run into a building when taps was played so they wouldn’t have to stand at attention and salute.
Bet they didn't brag about it, though! Thanks for your service!
“lots of people would run into a building when taps was played so they wouldn’t have to stand”
It’s the posting on line and boasting about it. Plus the “IDAFFFF” Very wrong.

Seriously?!
Same as when I was in the air force, officers and enlisted. They didn’t brag about it though.
That’s true, but those who did dodge the flag in such a manner didn’t publicize or boast about their misbehavior. This girl is strictly there for the benefits. She helps Hagles decision to skim off the overhired billets.
I saw it too - was walking with my chief one day (I was an LT) and saw two P02s who thought they could “sneak away” after taps had started into a nearby building and stand just past the front door yapping away. Once it was done - I looked that way shook my head and said, “Chief, you want to deal with those clowns or would you like me to do it?” He said, “LT, I’ll be damned if I’m letting them off light with your ass chewing despite how much I’ve taught you.” They started walking out I said: “Have a good rest of the evening Chief” by the time I walked by about a half hour later their own chief and command master chief were with him chewing the breeze - I can only imagine how that ended for those two petty officers - almost - almost made me feel sorry for em.
