Yeah, the next best thing is when the immediate Commander gives an order that you can't perform. After said Commanders comes to whine...uhm chew ass and the senior NCO tells him they didn't have what they needed to perform the job. All the while the said Commander boss is there and states with straight face that the NCO had a point in such a fashion as to not laugh at him, but in firm enough voice that junior Commander knows he shouldn't push the issue.
