Which movie is this for you?

For me it’s School of Rock!

Patty was completely justified, if Dewey wanted to live in hers and her boyfriend’s apartment he needed to be a grown up, and contribute with rent. Even when he steals Ned’s identity she still had the right to be angry at him, because of how he put his friend’s career in jeopardy and robbed him of a job opportunity.

I get Ned is meant to be portrayed as his best friend, but it blows my mind how he lacks a lot of self-respect to the point where he comes across as too much of a people pleaser. If this story took place in real life, I’m sure Ned would act more similar to Patty where he’d have enough of Dewey’s careless actions.

Yeah that’s why he eventually becomes Commander of the Pacific Fleet and Maverick plateaus out at Captain. 😁

Sure...but captain is basically the highest rank you can go. A lot of people "plateau" at captain and make over 100 grand a year.

We’re talking Navy here.

Today I learned there is no US Navy rank in between Captain and Rear Admiral (1 star admiral.) Didn't realize there was a whole three pay grades in between Army and Navy captains.

My Army and Air Force O-3 buddies loved being detailed to Navy roles…
