I certainly would try explaining to you why you should not feel like you deserve to be treated differently than the rest of the members of the unit. I certainly would explain to you that dog and pony shows for brass is and has always been a part of the package when we all signed up. I would say that, much like the president, you don't really have to LIKE the speaker of the house, you just have to afford her the same respect you would to any superior. Grin, bear it... be nice and respectful and tomorrow, she'll be gone and we can get about the business of our unit's real mission. If you didn't agree to that, and when the speaker came to visit, you did something unprofessional to embarrass your unit, THEN I'd squash you like a bug. Like I said... I had a whole lot of success over my career and my units and ships won boatloads of battle efficiency "E"s for superior readiness... and in all my time at sea, I helped hundreds of sailors advance their careers, and I think I maybe squashed five or six bugs all told. And every bug knew he had a choice whether or not to play on my team or not... I let them all earn and richly deserve their squashings.
Liar.
Your plastic boats in your bathtub are not a navy.
Voicesin your head are not your sailors!!
