THE CHIEF PETTY OFFICER'S PRAYER<br><br>Dear Lord...<br><br>-- So far today, God, I have lived my life as you would intend.<br><br>-- I haven't lost my temper.<br><br>-- So far I have not even grabbed the Chief's Mess Cook by the throat, like yesterday.<br><br>-- I have said nothing insulting or humiliating to any of the junior officers.<br><br>-- I haven't bit@*ed about the coffee, the ship's schedule, the watch bill or Saturday's Personnel Inspection.<br><br>-- I have told no lies...<br><br>-- I have not cheated at poker.<br><br>-- I have put no ship's tools in my personal toolbox.<br><br>-- In short God, I believe that so far today I have committed no grievous sins.<br><br>-- Thank you, God, for helping me to stay righteous so far. But Lord, it's almost 0600 and in a<br>little while I'm going to roll out of my bunk and after that I think I will need a lot more<br>help.<br><br><br>Amen...<br>PISTOL
