During the trial, Queeg is said to have "served over eight years", and later "a 14-year unblemished record." This would more appropriately have been referred to as "over eight years of Sea Service" (the total combined time served on ships at sea during various deployments, for which a small stipend is paid for each day), out of his 14 years of total Navy service time. It is normal to have shore postings during a career, thus making up for the other six years of total service time.
