Off-Track

The reason I stayed late last night was to fix the couple of discrepencies that had been found in the first day's inspection of my program. Today we finished the inspection, with no further hits. All the stuff from yesterday was already corrected.

And they gave us an "Off-Track", which is the worst rating, meaning "Fail!"

I have learned an important lesson from this. Honesty is a sucker's game. I filled out people's paperwork correctly, and thus showed that we had been making mistakes in the past. It would have been trivial to make a couple of "minor edits", concealing our past misbehavior. In which case we'd have received an "On-Track" rating and a pat on the back for being such good people.

Pencil-whips and lies, that's what the Navy rewards. So next time that's what they'll get.

1 Its also called "No good deed goes un-punished."  Or at least that's what we call it.
