Hey, I just made Ensign...and not a single pad:rolleyes:.
Does this mean I get a raise?:D
Do I get to push around the non-coms now?:) - somebody's gotta clean the coffee grinds out of the bilge and it ain't gonna be me anymore!

Don't bet on it ... not enough pads, er, uh, I mean posts to be pushing anyone around yet. But hang in there, so day you might make rank like LT! :D

Dang butter bars everywhere :)

I think from the khaki point of view though its the goats that make the blue-shirts clean up the bildges.

The philosophy on all my submarines was this:

The only difference between an E-1 and an E6 is the depth of the bilge you get to dive.

I think you're still a bilge rat until you get scrambled eggs on yer cap.
Got an E7 across the street from me. He goes in every morning in his utilities and he's still knee deep in the bilge.

What's wrong with cleaning the bilge? I always find something of value there... a missing, rusted out lure, usually.

Some of you people need a spell checker.

It is “paddling”, not “padding”. :rolleyes:

You paddle a boat, the more you paddle, the better you get, the better you get, the higher your rank.
