God bless you Chief for watching over him. We had a similar sailor in my squadron. He was a good sailor but not so smart and very naive. We never let him go to the flight deck alone and someone was always with him on liberty.
The Sailor was TAD to my Command as part of a contingent from another command sent to help us during the war. Lots of long hours and hard work. He was protected at his parent command by a Senior Chief who retired and ask me to not let them screw with this kid. I found out there was a plot between a couple of Chiefs to push him out for the good of the service. The Sailor was clueless. I derailed their plan, I convinced my CO to give all the Sailors TAD to us a NAM. He agreed and the Sailor got his NAM too. Hard to justify incompatibility and for the good of the service when he just got a NAM. I know, not the purpose of the award. Sailor, went back to parent command and an old grizzled Chief Bosun took him under his charge and the Sailor continued to mow lawns till Honorably Seperated.
