NORFOLK, Va. — The deck department of USS San Antonio listened to Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class Raymond Bernard give another 45 minute speech about how they shouldn’t waste time this morning, sources tell Duffel Blog.
“All right, listen up,” Bernard said at morning quarters, the cue for the designated timekeeper to start the stopwatch. The sources say each week a timekeeper is assigned to track the NCO's speeches.
“I know you guys could be working harder,” Bernard said. “Remember when there was a real man overboard and you had the rescue boat ready in four minutes? I expect that level of effort from you all the time,” he said.
