<p>They were the only ship (in San Diego) to have a homeport rotation (I didn't make this clear) that large...he was being dead serious and not overgeneralizing.</p>

Zaph, I am pretty sure that my leadership prof. (LT) said that an E-6 qualified as OOD (whether that is in port or not, I can't recall).

<p>That would be inport. AFAIK, only officers are permitted to be OOD underway. I certainly have never heard of any exceptions to that.</p>

On my cruise the conning-o was a chief for a rotation!

<p>Yep. That happens. Not a problem, either.</p>

I think LT also said that they were on a 9 duty section rotation (in port) because the captain said to the khakis that if they could get everyone qualified, the watch sections would increase....and they did.

<p>I'll BET they did! Man, talk about luxury! :eek:</p>

<p>That is exactly what I meant by overgeneralization, that it applied to homeport duty only. And I would bet that it only applied to portions of the homeport duty.</p>
<p>Oh ok, gotcha.</p>
