to play devil's advocate, i use my dad as a sounding board a lot. He's not/never been in the navy, but he was a firefighter and is usually a pretty solid place for advice on life in general, especially in terms of dealing with people or the suck... There's a reason i don't talk to my mom about navy life, or life in general...
That being said, it wouldn't surprise me if someone called home to complain/vent about pure shittiness that is the pool now, and mama duke took it upon herself to call down there. Sucks for all, and it will probably get a "never ever do that again, mom" conversation from said unlucky bastard.
If they called and said mommy call the co and tell them i don't likey this, then yes, they are total douchers. If not, it just made a sucky situation worse. If i were commissioning soon i would hang out at a rotc unit that didn't suck, or do some hometown recruiting until the heat blows over on the pool.
