The essential traits of a naval officer are tact, loyalty,  integrity,  tolerance,  dependability,  good manners,  self-confidence,  a  sense  of  humor, regard for the rights of others, and the ability to treat everyone as equals. In  a  letter  to  Congress  in  1775,  John  Paul Jones  wrote,   “It  is  by  no  means  enough  that an  officer  of  the  Navy  should  be  a  capable mariner.  He  must  be  that,  of  course,  but  also  a great deal more. He should be as well a gentleman of   liberal   education   and   refined   manners, punctilious   courtesy,   and   the   nicest   sense   of personal   honor.” This  chapter  introduces  most  of  the  main aspects   of   military   courtesy   and   etiquette.   It covers the traditional elements that still survive and those which have changed with the passage of  time. NAVAL   ETIQUETTE Military  courtesy  between  officers  and  enlisted personnel  undergoes  little  change  during  wartime. These relations are the most fundamental part of all military courtesy and the main source of most naval etiquette. The   twin   foundations   of   military   courtesy among  officers  are  precedence  and  deference  to seniors.  Officers  take  precedence  according  to their  grade.  This  precedence  is  not  confined strictly to military relationships on ship or shore, but extends to the mess, to the club, and to social life. Naval courtesy prescribes that junior officers accord their seniors certain respect. This respect corresponds to that which younger people accord to their elders in a polite society. It also prescribes that  seniors  acknowledge  and  respond,  with  equal care,  to  these  tokens  of  respect  required  of 7-1
