We had a rowdy crew on my ship, occasionally they would bring someone up for Captain’s Mast for fighting and general mayhem,but we didn’t get too upset and want to hurt anyone. The Captain was the best, we did our extra duty like good scouts, not go crazy fool on everybody. Most of us somehow received our Good Conduct Medals and became very very old model citizens.
Captain's Mast (aka "NJP") used to be a rite of passage for rowdy sailors. These days it's a career-ending ticket out of the Navy.
