re: #283 Anymouse 🌹🏡

I once was standing watch in the middle of the night at NAS Oceana, the back entrance to the avionics area of AIMD. Right next to my post was Production Control (the office which manages all maintenance in AIMD).

An officer (commander) I did not recognise wanted to come into the avionics area and I challenged him. My petty officer third class butt refused to let him pass.

The senior chief in Production Control challenged me: Don’t you know who he is? He’s the Executive Officer of the base.

I didn’t know him, and he didn’t have a security badge. The XO then went into Production Control and told the senior chief I was correct in challenging him and prohibiting him from entering the area.

Afterward, the senior chief escorted him on the premises.

Exactly — you all knew and followed the same rulebook. But Pence wouldn’t be telling anyone that the person who challenged him was correct, and asking anyone to stand up to him is asking a lot. (We all know who his boss is.)

(If I’d been the patient he visited on the other hand, I’d have started screaming the moment he entered, and used my illness as a shield.)
