Sorry dude, but it's pretty obvious that you have "emotional"
issues.

I hear the Flat Earth Society is looking for recruits. They don't demand
much in the way of evidence either--just that you be a true believer.

I
was at various times the deck officer, the supply officer and the engineer,
I was also a diver throughout the tour and one of several officers of the
deck underway.

in other words, you were a brown bar.

What'd you do wrong?

Just wanted to fight, f*&k, and see the world.

Sorry, never heard the term.

huh? How come you never heard the term? It has been around since Christ was a
corporal in the infantry. In the US military, O-1 ranks wear a gold bar as a
rank indicator, hence a "brown bar".

dave, the term pre-dates double double duece.

btw, as I recall subs were never referred toas ships, but rather as boats. Yet
I seem to remember you claimed to be ship driver.

Yes, I know well what bars each wears. But the term "brown bar" was never
used within my hearing as best I can remember. Certainly not in the
wardroom, though our CO was a mustang. Since we were part of the sub fleet,
it might be that it's a term used mainly by the guys on the ground, which we
just didn't have.

At any rate I was an Ensign for the first part and a JG for the 2nd part of
my tour.
