THE PLAIN TRUTH

A CAPTAIN is said to be a man who knows a great deal about very little, and who goes along knowing
more and more about less and less... until finally he knows practically everything about nothing.

AN ENGINEER on the other hand, is a man who knows very little about a great deal and keeps knowing
less and less about more and more...until he knows practically nothing about everything.

A DIVISION OFFICER starts out knowing everything about everything...but ends up knowing nothing about
anything due to his association with Captains and Engineers.

A CHIEF starts out knowing nothing about nothing... but ends up knowing everything about everything
due to intensive training, experience and ignoring the Captains, Engineers and Division Officers.
