Exactly. the instant I saw her in film and she started in with her scene I KNEW right then she was not an actress but the real deal. Calm and Professional.
We do have all kinds in the Navy though as there is in Any Military force. From your professional sailors and hard workers, to a few slack-offs just skating by doing the minimum, Problem Children. You'll find intelligence and goof-balls.
In regards to the Sidenote:
Thank you.
There are a number of us that are Veterans and a few that are still active Duty that post here. (Quite a number of Stolen Valor Jackwagons as well)
Myself, I served aboard USS Halsey (CG 23), and USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63)
EW (Electronic Warfare), I intercepted and Jammed Radars and Radar guided weapons.

His Daddy_Tej account is likely his primary.
It was formerly Grondig66, then he changed the name of it. All of his former posts under Grondig66 (that haven't been deleted by Admin) are now the Daddy_Tej name.
Most of his other sockpuppet names popped up about the same time as well. Apparently he is on some sort of Indian fetish at the moment.
And the Grondig66 account only started when his previous account was shut down in its entirety by IMDb, That name was TheGreatMoghul.

Also with Rajeshmulan/Daddy_tej and his numerous other sockpuppets throughout IMDB, he has a ratherdisrespectful attitude towards women. For example his comments about 'charlies'. God knows what he'd be like if he ever watched Game of Thrones.

Oh indeed. I am sure that is the case - every organization [also every group, race, nationality, religionetc, etc, etc] has good and bad apples.
This is simply human nature.
Still, the one difference in the Armed Services I feel is that even Armed Services goofballs may one day have to put their lives on the line.
Something most folks will never ever have to face.
In large part because folks like you are willing to do it for us.
This is what too many people really seem to forget.

Yes, I ultimately did find it irritating. And before anyone jumps me over that: I have worked on trauma teams, worked in multiple ER's, and worked with patients who were in hostage situations. Further, my father did three years of combat medicine in the Pacific, and my mother is herself a Navy veteran of WWII.
I think it is important to be human and reassuring to people, and there are ways to do that even while you are doing the crucial work of locating wounds, etc. I thought her tone was somewhat cold and condescending.
