Jerry Crooks Quotations

He had to have known it was wrong to open up those tanks.

Probably the most serious thing he did was abandoning ship. He was seen in the water swimming away from the ship 11 minutes after the first explosion, and he left five people behind that he knew to be alive.

They responded exactly as they had been trained because they had not been trained.

He came all the way up through the ranks the hard way. He's a great boss, because having been an enlisted man, he really has an understanding of what it's like to be one. He's got a great understanding of enlisted people and their value to the organization.
