re: What’s with all the Navy COs getting relieved?

One night I picked him up and asked him if he didn’t get tired of going to parties so many nights a week.
He said yes but “that’s how you get ahead in this man’s Navy”.

I didn’t say it but I I thought to myself,so promotions based on kissing arse,not job performance.
I was wavering on reenlisting,that was one the things that played in to my decision to get out.
I didn’t like the idea of my superior officers not being the most competent but the best arse kissers.
