A lot of Captains seem to forget that once they were where you are now !
I had a skipper like that in Africa, many moons ago. He was ex RAF, bush combat and all and gave everyone who was not ex RAF a very hard time. (This is not a dig, just one case fact).
Once my great buddy, a relatively junior Captain had whispered in this chap's ear the fact that I was ex Fleet Air Arm (which I was not) I never had any more problems.
Mind you; I had some horse feathers to go with the story.
One day your self deluding God will make a cracker of an error. They all do eventually. You will of course be the soul of kindness and discetion in extricating his backside from the alligator pond and you will never rub his nose in it. A warm glow of self satisfaction should now begin to flow through your veins as you imagine all the ghastly mistakes he could make and how jolly damned worthwhile you will indeed be when you salvage the aforementioned part of his anatomy and any others that he may have readily to hand.
Your time will come!
