I remember my first day aboard ship. (I’ll omit the ship’s name.) My LCPO (i.e. my boss) led me to an elevator on the main deck. Next to the elevator was a fenced-in security cage with a Marine in it, and around the elevator a red line was painted on the deck. “See that red line, Chan?” the LCPO said.
“Yes,” I replied.
“Good. If you ever step on or across that red line, that jarhead in the cage there will blow your freaking head off, no warning, no questions asked. Understand?”
I allowed that I did.
“Good.” We then moved along to the next thing.
Needless to say, I stayed the hell away from that red line for the rest of my time aboard the ship.
LOL..........yep, That is indeed a come to Jesus moment when such is understood, clear cut , no cow crap method of enforcement and discipline etc etc .....
