Wrong, wrong, wrong. (As Mrs T was oft to say).
I was too lazy, no more-no less.
As a Company Cadet it was drilled into me that all that expensive education was not focused on me having dirty nails. Such work was to be detailed to Junior Engineers who were "Time Served" in inner city shipyards and were not good enough to be retained.
