I think the cycle of BS took about a year before it started repeating itself. I got pissed and went off on one of the guys that worked for me when he made a really stupid mistake that could have had large consequences (luckily didn't). The result of that was the conversation with the CO when he mentioned my low tolerance for stupidity.
6 years was plenty of time to see all of the BS that happened when we pulled into port.
Once we left a kid in Rota, Spain....
