I just can't believe a scheme so diabolically-brilliant as this is at work.

I mean, we're talking about the people who brought you NMCI and NKO, here.

Absurd.

Because the instruction says so. And if the instruction says so, it must be done. Never mind that it doesn't actually matter.

Ah yes....Navy logic simply explained...

And I love how the converse is also frequently true, especially in the Reserves.

The word: Thing "X" is mandatory, and hi-viz, and must be done immediately, or Ragnarok!
You bust your ass to get it done by the deadline, can't get it out for one reason or another.
Whoever your'e doing Thing "X" for: "Oh, don't worry about it, sir. Get it finished if you can, but I talked to you about it, so I can mark it off. No big deal."

I await Ragnarok.

My latest windmill...

Get thing "X" done by Nov 1.

It's now Oct 10th and you're on a hit list because you haven't done thing "X." Nevermind you've already coordinated to have it done by 1 Nov.

Mmmmm.....self-licking ice-cream cone.....

Techno-Vikings real name? Was he there at the rectification of the Vuldronaii and the third reconciliation of the last of the Meketrex supplicants?

No, Techno-Viking is the Chief Engineer on the MV FAR SAMSON Beta Crew.

Ragnarok is the mythical Norse apocalypse.
