Do you think it will ever come to that? Just think what that might mean!
On some ships as many as 75% of the females will get pregnant, get two
months of paid pregnancy leave (not charged against their 30 days annual
leave), compassionate shore duty (that allows some dumb male to take her
place at sea), an increase in BAQ and other goodies.
Naw! It could NEVER come to that! But then I think of perhaps my favorite
quote of all time:
"The Navy is a master plan designed by geniuses for execution by idiots.
If you are not an idiot, but find yourself in the Navy, you can only
operate well by pretending to be one. All the shortcuts and economies and
common-sense changes that your native intelligence suggests to you are
mistakes. Learn to quash them. Constantly ask yourself, How would I do
this if I were a fool? Throttle down your mind to a crawl. Then you will
never go wrong."
--Herman Wouk, "The Caine
Mutiny"
Those of you who have never been in the Navy can substitute it for any
company or situation you might be in. Say for example, "General Electric
is a master plan designed by geniuses for execution by idiots...." or "The
National Weather Service is a master plan designed by geniuses for
execution by idiots....
