and you sit in the bay , working in supply and in the deck office moving paper around and bullshitting with the guys , and then one day you are alone in the deck office when the first lieutenant comes in and he looks around and then shuts the door behind him and walks over to your desk and says i hear that you are striking for supply and you say pretty much and he says thats a good idea and you say yup and then he says i never said anything about it to anybody but i want to say thanks for jumping in and pulling me out of the water and you say dont worry about it sir and he says sure and then he looks around the office and then back at you and he says well thanks and then he says i endorsed your transfer chit , like thats a huge favor to you and you say thank you sir and he says well we need you here for the rest of the cruise like you been doing but when we get back you can go to supply full time and you say thank you sir and then he walks out and shuts the door behind him .
