Navy chief gives fatherly nod of approval to junior sailor, calls it a day

ATLANTIC OCEAN — Boatswain’s Mate Chief Robert Dallas put in a full day of work onboard USS Arlington (LPD-24) by nodding at a pair of junior sailors, sources report.

Sources say Dallas slept past reveille, wandered into the Chief’s Mess to get food after breakfast had ended, and spent an hour drinking coffee. He then walked into quarters 15 minutes late so he could dutifully repeat the same information that had been put out at the beginning of quarters.
