'Face it, you lost': Chief navigator's new phone policy on sea vessel backfires after one soldier plays the system, resulting in crew losing access to outside communication

When a new team member joins, particularly if they are assigned a leadership position, they will probably try to introduce some sort of new and, in their view, creative rule that will simplify the assigned tasks and improve the overall efficiency and productivity of the daily routine.

The soldier in the story below, together with his fellow crew members, have discovered the most effective way to get revenge on their superiors. OP serves in the Navy as a member of the attack submarine unit. They rarely ever had the chance to speak with their loved ones or family members while they were serving. Every crew member on board was allowed to use a number of lines. At first, this phone routine was going well, but everything changed when the new head navigator arrived. The newly appointed navigator instituted a new policy during his onboarding that permits the executive department to use one phone line while the rest of the crew can use the second. This separation among ship personnel led, as you have no doubt already guessed, to tensions between the executive department and the crew. Thus, rather of establishing a more efficient and productive timetable, the new commander turned the ship into a chaotic mess.

Having said that, scroll down to read the narrative below to learn how OP and his fellow crew members managed to get even with the head of the department!
