Ignorance of the law is no excuse in civilian life. It is even less of an excuse in military life where rules, of necessity, must be stricter.
~~~~ For this reason, "Think It Over Mate", which presents in layman's language the rules, laws and regulations governing the Naval services and the penalties involved in cases of infringement should find wide acceptance among the personnel of the Navy, Marine Corps
and auxiliary branches of the Naval service. ~~~ With humorous illustrations to add easily remembered emphasis, this book is prefaced with a history of Naval law which should interest any reader as a step in the development of the forces now defending our seas. the reproduction in full of the "articles for the Government of the Navy" at the close of the book will be welcomed by those wishing to study the full text of these laws.

DISOBEYING LAWFUL ORDERS: Charge: Disobeying the lawful order of his superior officer.
~~~ "Superior officer" includes petty and non-commissioned officers. Just be a plain "dumb"
smart guy and go ahead and obey the order. It certainly would be better to obey one order than to be forced to obey thousands of them for the next two years ... 's good logic, isn't it?
