When I was young, I remember listening to old WWI and WWII veterans talk about things they did to keep officers busy so that they could get their work done with being bothered. I call these techniques Firebreaks.
One story I heard was of an officer on a CG cutter who always wanted to 'help' work on the helo. The crew removed a deck plate above the officer's cabin and suspended a wrench tied to a string down between the bulkheads. When the cutter hit heavier seas, the wrench would bang against the bulkhead keeping the officer up all night and too tired to interfere with the crew the next day. Does anyone have any stories of techniques like this?
