Relative to rules and regulations. I was a very junior Sailor way, way back in the last century. I observed to Senior Petty Officers arguing vehemently about the correct way to do something. A very important something. Unbeknownst to the three of us our crusty old Senior Chief was listening to the conversation. He let it go on for a time and then asked the argument stopping question in a very loud a grumpy manner. “What’s the fucking Book say?” I remember it as if it were yesterday. Turns out both combatants were wrong and with a little guidance the right way prevailed. I’ve always been a fan of rules and regulations. I’ve never been a Republican, nor a fan of them.
