In 1988 when I was navigating HMAS Gawler, We were on passage from Darwin to Sydney in company with HMS Cambeltown in which "H" was flying the Lynx. Our XO was a real wally and was great at telling you how good he was. One day both the CO, XO and myself were invited at sea for lunch on Cambeltown. When we entered the wardroom, we were introduced to "H" however my XO was at the Heads so missed the intros. On returning to the Wardroom, Gawler XO was seated next to "H" and notice his "ER" on rank. The first thing XO asked was, "ER" you must be in the Emergency Reserve, not a bad gig if you can get it. Well, the silence was deafening. Made my day that did. Amazing how quickly that storey moved around the fleet.
