Naval Deployment questions

[Oldgateboatdriver]

In my defense, I did not specify where, when or how the Cox'n would come down hard on the poor chatty OOW (nor any of the other people I mentioned).

Closed door in the Cox'n's office is not a place I would want to be as a junior officer.

@Halifax Tar @Oldgateboatdriver oh yea I would never expect a Coxn to do that. I've never had a Coxn come up to bridge except to talk to the CO, nor do I think any of them would do that.

I did have an experience similar to this once. We were doing a MOBEX so I went to the boat deck (diver), and when it was clear I wasn't needed I started up the ladder. Suddenly I hear the Coxn's raspy French voice from the boat deck, "Sir, come here please."..."Yes, Coxn?"..."Sir, you need a haircut" (with a scowling unapproving look). In my head I rolled my eyes said "Now is not the fucking time Coxn!!", but what I actually said was, of course, "Yes, Coxn" then quickly turned around and head back up the ladder.
