I think I'd like your Great Uncle.

I think I'd like your Great Uncle. ****
Just my opinion of course and probably not worth the paper it's not written on. |

For RFC - I discovered that "age" and "feeling old" are relative things when I was a 38 year old senior Petty Officer working for a 22 year old Ensign, so shiny new he squeeked as he walked up the brow and on to USS Nassau's Quarterdeck, making me feel like an old phart. It's the duty of every senior NCO to train up the junior officers entrusted to his care, to watch over him without being a Mother Hen, encourage him to toddle along on his own, to wipe his nose and let him learn by making his own mistakes without allowing him to make the major ones that could really hurt him. To teach him how to look after the people assigned to his division, to stand up and take the rap when things go wrong without hanging the blame on some poor seaman when the decision that went wrong was the officer's and ensure credit goes to those who deserve it when things get done right and recognition is deserved. I think Petty Officer (and later Warrant Officer) Harkness, in his own way, would agree with me. Oh, that young officer? Today, 20 years later, he commands an Atlantic Fleet Aegis destroyer. He makes his "sea daddy" proud. You ain't old RFC, you're just in a position to pass on life's lessons in your own unique and enjoyable way. Thank you for that. ****

Well, the votes keep coming in. There are younger people voting for one story or the other. Most of the last ten votes in each has been for one or the other, rather than both. For those who have read only one set of stories, I highly recommend the other.

Getting close to 6% on both forums, in spite of the fact that the number of members keeps growing. _

fourty-somethings account for about 25% of both polls. The numbers are still going up in both polls, so if you haven't voted, please do. _

We were over 6% on this poll but enough new people have signed up in the last week to drop it back below that. _
