As a seaman aboard an aircraft carrier, it was my duty to make the morning coffee for my department.  After a year of this, I felt a rush of relief when, on the day before my promotion, my department chief put his arm around my shoulder and said, “Rhodes, this will be the last day you’ll be making coffee as a seaman.”  My heart sank, however, when he added, “Tomorrow will be your first day making it as a petty officer.”

Junior is junior.

I was a Nuke on a submarine.  I got there as an E-4.  But so was EVERYBODY else!
