In the Navy, the\u00a0<strong><em>Chief Petty Officer<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0serves a dual role as both a technical expert and as a leader; emphasis being more on leadership. There is always a sense of humor that comes from this culture. For the Navy, I find the more ingenious humor typically involves a CPO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four retired Navy Chiefs are walking down the street window shopping. Then they turn a corner and see a sign that says <strong><em>Veterans Bar<\/em><\/strong> over the doorway of an entry into an establishment that doesn&#8217;t look all that well kept up. They look at each other then go in. On the inside, they realize in this case, they could judge the book by its cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, \u201cCome on in and let me pour one for you! What will it be, gentlemen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There seems to be a fully stocked bar so the men all ask for a martini. In short time the bartender serves up 4 iced martinis &#8211; shaken not stirred and says, \u201cThat will be 40 cents, please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four Chiefs stare at the bartender for a moment then look at each other &#8211; they can&#8217;t believe their good luck. They pay the 40 cents, finish their martinis and order another round. Again, four excellent martinis are produced with the bartender again saying, \u201cThat&#8217;s 40 more cents, please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They pay the 40 cents but their curiosity is more than they can stand. They&#8217;ve each had two martinis and so far they\u2019ve spent less than a dollar. Finally one of the men says, \u201cHow can you afford to serve martinis as good as these for a dime a piece?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bartender replies, \u201cNo doubt you&#8217;ve noticed the decor in here. And the outside ain&#8217;t nothin&#8217; to write home about. I don&#8217;t waste money on that stuff. But, here&#8217;s my story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI&#8217;m a retired Master Chief Boatswain&#8217;s Mate and I always wanted to own a bar. Last year I hit the lottery for $45 million and decided to open this place for real veterans. Every drink costs a dime &#8212; wine, liquor, beer, all the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWow. That&#8217;s quite a story,\u201d says one of the men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The four of them sipped at their martinis and couldn&#8217;t help but notice three other guys at the end of the bar who didn&#8217;t have a drink in front of them and hadn&#8217;t ordered anything the whole time they were there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One man finished his martini and, gestured at the three at the end of the bar without drinks and asks the bartender, \u201cWhat&#8217;s with them?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bartender says, \u201cOh, those are retired Marines. They&#8217;re waiting for happy hour.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000030\"><strong>Andy Adkins<\/strong>\u00a0is a US Navy veteran (\u201973-77) and the author of several books, including\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.azadkinsiii.com\/book_closer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">You Can\u2019t Get Much Closer Than This-Combat with the 80th \u201cBlue Ridge\u201d Division in World War II Europe<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, published by Casemate Publishers (2005) and selected as the Book of the Month for the Military Book Club.
