Got inspired to ask when answering a different question. Mine below are copied from my previous answer.
I have two regarding this CO: https://www.navytimes.com/news/your...nder-of-this-navy-warship-walked-off-the-job/
- Navy ball (CRUDES heavy, we were Gator Navy so had no desire to go) was less than a week away, some CAPT showed up and asked her why only two people from the ship had signed up to attend (CO and a chief). She had a nice long chat with all of us wardroomers about how she was so embarrassed by us and that we had 24 hours to sign up to this $80 a ticket ball. In order to be excused, we each had to submit an excuse as to why we were not attending. Our SWO had to make a spreadsheet. Turns out tickets were no longer on sale anyways so we couldn't have purchased any if we wanted to (which I found amusing). Even our XO didn't attend...
- We had a wardroom outing and CO showed up and played Pokemon Go the ENTIRE time. She even brought a portable battery so she could keep playing when her battery ran out. Was obviously difficult to engage with her during this entire evening. I was on duty the next day and OPS came into the jungle and told us the CO was demanding he speak to the wardroom about our rude behavior towards her all evening. She apparently didn't like that people weren't actively talking to her. I told OPS that maybe if she had unglued her phone from her face, we could have had a nice conversation. I had stood next to her for 10 minutes waiting to say hello and she didn't once look up from the phone. I think OPS tactfully relayed the message to her because we never did get talked to about that evening.
