<p>You are correct. It is a comment which does indeed have merit. As a coping mechanism, I would both expect it and find it appropriate from a Youngster. But not from a First Class (unless he was doing a presentation to a bunch of potential candidates).</p>
<p>Like I said, my comments are based on 2nd hand information and a half dozen or so comments from this forum which I am not going to go back and research. However, I feel that if this were not an issue, the Firsties would not be in khakis. navy2010’s room inspection comment is probably proof that it is working as is your comments, CurrentMid, that you don’t know what it is about.</p>
<p>MIDNDAD, I firmly believe that each class gets better, more prepared to meet the fleet. Tweaking things is not a simple matter. Everything goes in cycles. Also, addressing one issue might cause another. Fixing a problem extremely well will eventually deemphasize focus on it and cause it to eventually raise it’s ugly head again.</p>
