My last boss, one of a kind:

Despite being an officer and me just a lowly enlisted, always closed the door and asked for my honest and unfiltered opinion on why whatever we're doing is a stupid fucking idea. Understood that when I call everyone idiots, it's not out of spite or disrespect. It's because they have no clue what they are doing and making nonsensical requests, and I just want to get us back on track.

A good boss doesn't say things like "I'm in charge so this is how we do it" or "I'm an officer so you can't criticize me because that's disrespect!" But instead listens to the ideas and thoughts of those that nobody else takes seriously.

    Sometimes officers would be pretty enlightened as to the ammount of fuckery that happens when shit is left for the enlisted men to figure out. The contempt made towards officers can be understandable, but fuck me if I am not gonna say that working directly for a high ranking officer did not teach me more about the military and life itself than any of the other fucktards I had to deal with on the daily.

    Sometimes I consider going back as an officer actually.

    @AleCx04 I agree to some extent, but at the same time officers have no fucking clue how Linux or programming or hacking, or literally anything technical works.

    I liked him because rather than pretend he would admit he didn't know these things and ask me to tell him why his plan only worked on paper. Other officers assume that what works on paper in a room of non-technical people always works in real life.
