Congratulations to all the new Chief selectees, especially those who wear dolphins. May your ass not get sore when you have to move all the olives into martini glasses not using your hands, feet, or mouth. (Actually, they don't do that anymore, but I'm sure you'll still have a memorable next few weeks.)

Update 1643 11 Aug: Speaking of NAVADMINs, here's NAVADMIN 268/10 that came out yesterday; it institutes a new requirement for all Sailors assigned to warfare-qualifying commands to earn the applicable warfare designation with 30 months, or face the consequences. It won't make any difference to people assigned to submarines, but it seems to make it a requirement for any Submariner assigned to a tender for over 30 months to earn water wings. I don't think there's any requirement that they have to continue to wear them after they leave the skimmer, however, so I guess it won't be that bad.
