While i pretty much agree with you, i can see the "do we want dudes who act this juvenile to fly 70 million € aircraft when we have more mature candidates lined up and waiting their change" angle too.

    Though is willingness/desire to draw dicks for fun (in a way that doesn't even leave a permanent mark on anything) really correlated with maturity or have we just been allowing people with sticks up their ass to define what is and isn't mature?

    This was done within the parameters of the training mission. If they were doing shit like Maverick in Top Gun, then I'd agree, because his immaturity created real risks and he treated the mission parameters as suggestions while trying to "win" rather than "train".

    I think it does indeed tell something about maturity or atleast how seriously they are taking their training.

    Thinking it about from different angle. If i had business and one job would be mowing a lawn. If i had two equally good hires, but one of them would every time draw a dick to the yard before finishing the job i would definedly hire the one that does not make company famous by drawing dicks on the peoples lawn.

    Especially if my neigboring company was famously violent and had CEO who currently is trying to burn office of another nearby company on the ground and i had a reason to look professional, so my partner companies could trust to my professionalism in case the agressive company would try something underhanded. Especially if that company had 300 years of history of killing and enslaving my employees.
