45. All military regulations were written by individuals SUBORDINATE to the

monkey. Service specific regs are signed by the CNO/Commandant USMC/Chiefs of Staff of the Army or Air Force, while regs applying to all members are signed by the SECDEF or one of his minions.

Even if the civilian aspect could be overcome, and the only way that would happen would be if you got him drunk, put him in a flight suit, and swore him in, he would not be held to the order of a SUBORDINATE. The Seaman Recruit does not tell the Captain what to do, for good reason, usually.
