Things That Bother Radiomen:

Having other radiomen & data processors :

-Deliberately sabotage I.T. equipment, or I.T. storage rooms

-Deliberately attempt to download the wrong messages to the wrong submarines

-Deliberately distract/confuse the officer of the watch by deliberately processing non-emergency messages as actual emergencies

-Show up inebriated, or hung over

-Criminally stalk their own coworkers

-Sexually harass, sexually and physically assault their own coworkers

-Belong to drug cartels

-Belong to gangs

-Participate with hate criminals

-Fraternize

-Radiomen from allied countries who actually think it's culturally acceptable to physically touch female, pregnant, Asian-American, U.S. radiomen from the D.C. Metro in the actual state of Hawaii

-The idea of actually" learning/being re-educated/brainwashed" to blindly trust other radiomen, let alone data processors, and even more bothersome would be the unimaginable: blindly trusting ones from our allied countries
