[BITList] awkward bastards

[CT's]

hugh

no one else is volunteering any anecdotes, so seems we were the only 2 who crossed swords with awkward bastards on our journey thro the seven seas.

guess we were just the black sheep of the flock.

generally speaking, and in my experience - deck officers diplomatically kept their thoughts on ab's they may have encountered, to themselves.
would being there for the duration dampen their dislikes of fellow travelers, or was the idea of not rocking the boat have been a ground rule for deck cadets?
perhaps, "grin and bear it" was a prime requirement of the deck department's process of promotion!

I think we devil-may-care engineers had no such inhibitions - there being many non-seagoing jobs available to us, so we were not locked in to the life of a seaman.
we generally came from more common stock too - where the niceties of kissing arse were vigourously  discouraged, and taking shit from any jumped up punk was definitely out.
