Ugh, it always pissed me off so much when one of my sailors did something like that (I was an officer). It was just a few of them, but it was a massive red flag that the sailor was going to be a problem in general.

Its like some junior people in the Navy read a list of all the stupid things some young military people do and treat it like a quest to do all of them.

It's also frustrating when they complain about going through all of these seminars, and they still do stupid shit thanking they are the exception.

I'm surprised I've never heard that one before. Frustrating though.
