My buddy had his first night standing duty chief in port on a sub, and someone unclipped the line off the flag and replaced it with one that was way too short and no one noticed.
So, his first time doing colors, with the damn CO standing there watching, the doofus trying to raise it could only get it up the pole like a foot. Jesus Christ it was a sick burn. We never figured out who set him up, but he leaned a lesson that day. When taking over as duty chief always make sure you got the colors and stuff ready to go and it’s not all jacked up.
Lol for real. This looks like a fuckup.
