and the first lieutenant [ 128 ] , the head of the deck department , climbs out of the island and comes down to the muster and the bosun calls out attention and you pull your feet together heels together toes at a 45-degree angle and set your white hat on your head and push out your chest and stand staring off at the horizon , at the edge of the sea , while the first lieutenant walks the lines and looks at all the guys and every so often sends a guy below for a new t-shirt or a shine , and when he hits you he looks carefully at your face and says did you shave this morning bm3 and you say yessir and he says doesnt look like it go below and run a razor over it again and you say yessir and go below and its goddamn embarrassing to be sent down like a fucking booter .
