...And The "Most Effective Use Of A Soup & Salad Bar As A Podium Award" Goes To...

... the COMNAVSUBFOR Force Master Chief during his recent talk to Chiefs and JOs aboard USS Springfield (SSN 761):

As usual, I really like looking at the hi-res versions of these pictures to see what's interesting on each boat's Crew's Mess. In this one, I noticed that 1) the JOs at the forward portside table don't seem to be paying attention as intently as the CPOs in the audience, and 2) the sub seems to have an actual replica Springfield rifle hanging from the overhead. I'm assuming the rifle comes down before they try any angles and dangles.
