Let me tell you about Mas'chief Brannon, I got into some trouble onboard USS Sacramento and for no other reason than just because he fished me out of it. When I had decided that the only way for me to advance was to cross rate to DCman, he calls me into his office because I had to explain myself to the senior engineer(also he was the M/B divs LCPO) anyway he asks me" what do you like about being a BM?" So I replied with land helos fight fires shoot guns drive boats run unreps, you know all the good stuff. "Well what do you think you'll like about being a DCman?"he says. Fight fires be on deck for flight quarters "AND PMS" he yells across the desk at me. Realizing the point he made was infact correct and very astute I slowly stood up and he handed me the chit and i quickly tore it up and walked away. Thanks Mas'chief
