An SSI might help hi-light the fact that there are many who have not spent much of their careers at sea.
I don't think it'll be as much one-upsmanship as you may think, but I also think that recognition of how much time you've actually been at sea isn't such a bad thing....especially when they've taken away some of that recognition by removing the ability to award the SSM(NATO) for 180 days of NATO time.
All that said, the salt behind some of the "old salts" usually speaks for itself.....and those who know, do. Those who don't know, talk about doing.
