Here's to the Ring Knockers:
The new Captain was having a cordial dinner in the wardroom and says, “I can tell, just by this short at-sea period, where you received your commission and where you went to school.” He looks at the LTJG Supply Officer and says, you went to OCS and the University of Texas. The meals have been delicious and the mess bill is more than fair. That’s the mark of a good Wardroom SUPPO. The junior officer was dumbfounded.
He says to the second LTJG, you went ROTC out of San Diego. You’re always tanned, obviously spent time on the water as an undergrad, and your ship handling skills are exceptional. Keep up the good work. The LTJG was also dumbfounded by the Captain’s prescience.
The Captain turns to the third LTJG and says: You’re a Naval Academy Graduate. The officer, without hesitation says, Captain, this is uncanny. You’ve correctly guessed our commissioning source and where we all went to college. How did you know? Was it my impeccable appearance? My commanding presence among the enlisted men? “No”, replied the Captain smoothly, “I saw your class ring while you were picking your nose.”
