re: #38 Bubblehead II

BTW, If you haven’t noticed. She is also Surface Warfare Qualified.

Specifically the criteria in 1979 to qualify was as follows:
1. Be a Petty Officer 2. Have 24 months on a surface ship 3. Have a performance mark and Leadership marks of top 30% for CPO’s and 3.4 for Petty Officers. 4. Complete the PQS for Damage Control, Damage Control Petty Officer, Repair Party Leader, and Work Center Supervisor. 5. Qualify in all watch stations for rating and pay grade. 6. Perform an oral board held by the Commanding Officer, Executive Officer or LCDR. 7. Be recommended by the chain of command, and approved by the Commanding Officer.

In other words, she’s damn good at her job…
