Once when on patrol, GQ was called and two of us Master-At-Arms were caught between closed hatches on the mess decks. We didn't have anywhere to be, and we looked around and all the mess deck "crankers" and their petty officers had run to the GQ stations. We looked at our watches and realized they wouldn't have time to get ready for the next meal by the time GQ was over so we went into the scullery and started by washing all the pots and pans, all the dishes, silverware, glasses, etc. Then after that we scrubbed down all the tables swept all the floors and restocked everything all the while working with a smile on our faces, knowing we were going to surprise those men with all there work done, so they could take a break when they got back.
It put a smile on their face and gave them some pride.
Really that's what leadership is all about. Teaching them to take pride in their work and never, ever thinking their work is beneath your dignity. If you believe it beneath your dignity, they will think it is beneath their dignity and then the work won't get done on time nor properly.

Sorry, cut off by dying battery, had just enough time for partial post.
As I was saying, all people lie is highly likely, but about 1 percent unprovable, so as a universal it gets rejected as false mainly because of the scale of trying to prove it and, the unavailability of the past and future generations to us.
The all people lie some of the time gets rejected as well for the same reason (it has the all people like rejected beginning) ans we know the some people lie all the time may sound like some people we know, but if we are honest, even those people can't pull off lying all the time.
So some people lie some of the time becomes the only option we can safely rely on.
Therefore, replacing people above with recruiters, our only logical option left is that some recruiters lie some of the time.
So CJmom, now you know how to respond to your husband's critics.
I can understand your pain.

Angie, look to Aristotelean logic to decipher the all issue. We have to reject the all ... because we can't prove it. So if we expand it the all-all statement must be rejected. there is an interesting quirk though.
For example, while the all people eat peaches is known to be false, the all people lie, while highly likely, isn't provable for future people nor current people, nor people living in the past, so it is rejected as false due the impossible

Of 75 men in three generations of our immediate family, 62 are veterans. We have had American Legion members from its beginning until the present. Same with the VFW. Currently, the younger generations are having all the fun but I am still under oath with the Federal government myself.
All four branches, and during the French and Indian War and the American Revolution, the Virginia militia, the Maryland militia, and the Revolutionary Army.
Daniel Boone is kin, as were Col Henry Clark and his son Captain Clark. Captain Dillingham is ancestor and Admiral George Dewey is said to be an ancestor, too.

Sounds like we all have some great children and are very proud!

Pretty much, it is their life and only they can grab life by the horns and move forward.

Perhaps the most important question you can ask QB is if it is so great, why weren't non-designated route Petty Officers entitled to the same retention bonuses as "A" school route Petty Officers
Some of you are completely nuts. I'm just being gently honest with you. Trust me, if I wanted to scare you I have more than enough ammo having spent all of my time in the Navy in the fleet.
There are some jokes that I can make only in the American Legion halls away from civilians.

Remember moms, I beat their "A" school graduates on the rating exam by teaching myself and working OJT on my own time. I wasn't the first to do so nor will I be the last.
Tell your sons and daughters to Stay out of trouble, stay away from the booze, and they'll be able to do it too.
Been there, done that.
