West point grad.

My favorite ever Skipper (C.O.) was mellow and truly a nice person. However, I was in the ship’s wardroom the day he picked up a San Diego phone book and threw it at the Ops officer (who had it coming). I was an E-3 fly on the wall. When I determined that no other objects were going to be outbound I walked over, picked up the phone book and returned it to its proper place. The Skipper just smiled at me.
