Better to leave discipline of junior sailors up to the Chiefs.
They’re much more imaginative.
After 8 yrs of Obama I wonder how many good chiefs are left.
You reminded me of the power of CPOs before the Zumwalt ‘reforms’ of the early 70s.
Agreed about leaving it to the chiefs. The CO sounds like a dick. I had several commands during my 24 years in the army and I was blessed with outstanding First Sergeants. I only intervened if the offense warranted a “Big Chicken Dinner” as one of my best 1SG used to say (Bad Conduct Discharge)
