My Dad (Retired in 1981 as an Army Major - with Honorable Discharges from the Marines (Reserve grunt while in College), Navy (CT) and Army (Signal Corp & Avaitor) hanging on his wall - now double dips doing work for the Maries at Pendleton) has a great Rickover story that he loves to tell. A Friend of his was going in for a meeting with Rickover and when the meeting started Rickover invited this young Officer to have lunch with him. Of course he said yes. When the Soup was served the Young Officer picked up his salt shaker and put some on his soup. Rickover watched him do this and said "The interview is over. That soup was already salted and I don't want an officer who makes decisions without being aware of the facts." |
