Umm, that’s “perfectly” discreet. Phib, sounds like you owe us a story.

Oh, yeah, Dave. I remember when I was a co-op at Marshall, and making cow-eyes tongue-lolling and bird dog behavior at a much older secretary. I thought I was being perectly discreet until a grumpy old astronomer pulled me aside and said, in so many words, “Don’t get your meat where you get your bread and butter.”

Words of advice I was given a long time ago “if it is a work function act like you are at work”. Now this was from an old engineer to me, a mere pup at the time, during the company x-mas party. We where discussing the stumbling department head as he was guided out of the function with his sobing wife trailing. But the rule is simple to remember and should apply in all work related functions, official or not. That way you should not find yourself having to explain something to someone who can make your life less enjoyable.

I tend to take that rule a little farther and not have social relations with my co-workers so my private life is always separate from my employment, a lesson I learned the hard way.

If those Middies lacked the leadership ability and creativity to return two inebriated officers to their hotel rooms… that should be a class that isn’t commissioned.

Heck, another NCO and I partially _carried_ our 1SG out of Oktoberfest one year.
