Addendum, bohica
I read my own post and disagreed with part of its slant. All junior grade officers were not jerks. A couple were sane, and treated their men (almost all of us were then, back in the draft days). And those LTs and JGs that served on patrol boats in Nam had some of the highest casualty rates of the war. Props to them, and their brothers. I don't want to make the mistake of tarring an entire strata with the same brush. But my overall point was, and is, that enlisted men (and women) work while the junior officers nit pick about shoe shines and haircuts. Anchors aweigh. RM3 Tom
