Except for his cowardice, dishonesty and lunacy Captain Queeg was a great captain.
The Caine Mutiny has one of the greatest descriptions of a bureaucracy:
The Navy is a master plan designed by geniuses for execution by idiots. If you are not an idiot, but find yourself in the Navy, you can only operate well by pretending to be one. All the shortcuts and economies and common-sense changes that your native intelligence suggests to you are mistakes. Learn to quash them. Constantly ask yourself, "How would I do this if I were a fool?" Throttle down your mind to a crawl. Then you will never go wrong.
Those thoughts have always stayed with me. When I became a "draft lawyer" in the Viet-Nam era I often thought that the Selective Service System was an organization designed by idiots that could not be properly implemented by geniuses.

Navy food story: When my dad was a young officer stationed in Charleston, SC, he invited the other officers from his minesweeper to our home for dinner. My mom served beef stroganoff and it was a big hit.
The other officers begged for the recipe and gave it to the cook aboard the ship. When he served it to the crew, it was horrible. A huge disaster.
According to my dad, the cook didn't really know what sour cream was. So he took some cream and added vinegar.
Here endeth the lesson.

WTG Walt! His release date is now 7/22/17, used to be 7/30... Maybe all the outraged articles Sharon has been posting did the trick! Oh wait.
Tomorrow's his Birfday.
Interesting. It appears that Wally has earned 8 days of gain time during his first 5 months of incarceration. He must have been a very good little sailor.

Perhaps that make me an idiotic genius. At least that's what Mrs Goat would believe.

Has Walt ever really caused trouble while he was incarcerated? Come to think of it, he must absolutely love it, since it's just like the good old days in the navy. Everyone wears the same uniform, eats the same so-so meals, and have someone in better looking uniforms telling them what to do.

Get that cake shop in Colorado to put the QW in legal fine print on the frosting.
Wally will have to decide whether to file it or eat it. :-k :-k :-k It's a pickle or cake if you will...

Walt's more diligent than Orly, who frequently omits putting her B.A.R. number on her poopies (hmm, maybe she's more SovCit than we thought? 
)

And I'm sure completely accurate.
Perhaps this is finally the big production promised by whoever the nutter was who went to support Fitzpatrick, went to the big BBQ, etc., and was going to "stand with him" in court... but didn't really. McConnell? I can't remember.
Or perhaps I'm totally confuzzled. I can no longer keep all the nuts straight.
