USNI Proceedings on Civilian Mariner Qualifications

Had one like that early in my career as well, but a Senior Chief (Boatswains Mate.) Aside from insisting we refer to him as Senior Chief (get over yourself… no one is impressed) he also felt that the paygrade/rank system still applied and that as 2M he could delegate whatever jobs he didn’t want to the 3M.

He went down the gangway a few inches shorter after that trip. I personally never saw or heard of him again.
