My dad refused to accept a similar piece of crap when he was at the Pentagon. He had US Senators calling to lean on him to approve the defective vessel. He stood firm. It cost him a promotion from Commander to Captain. He was fine with that. Everyone knows where a Commander sits. The title Captain often elicits the question “Army or Air Force”.

True but sometimes works to advantage.
Especially when in the “Gator” Navy and the USMC Combat Cargo Officer is a Capt....

A lot gets done when “Capt So & So” from USS LST calls for a sedan or some needed supplies....
