Caveat Emptor - What Do I Know? All I know is what I have
figured out - and as I say, I have the luxury of a whole
bunch of safeguards already in place..... So I am still
trying to get my head around what is really secure...
But as the sign said at the main gate at tan sahn nut AFB,
"Drive safely, the life you save,
may be your replacement."
So let me pass along two basic and important sea stories.
I made the mistake of complaining about the fact that the
analysts I was working with didn't know diddly about weapons
handling - and brother trone, elder of the tripe took the
Ensign down to the beach, poured some beer into the ensign
and had one of them thar friendly chats - and we got a new
training regimine so at least the chances of the kids shooting
us DECREASED. Trone Rotated to other things, and we got a
Chief from some Air Dale unit - who thought he was john wayne,
and given my inclinations, I did what 'academics' do - i wrote
up the 'official training regimine' and detailed the basic tactics
and standards and got it BLOWN away by our new chief.
So, being the Training Petty Officer - i ran the drill, and
john wayne was out in front - he stepped into my booby trap
and read the sign that noted he was toast - so I turned to
the kids and said:
Pieces of the chief just got splattered on the bulk head.
You have no radio, you have no Go Codes, what do you do?
The sober child would have said,
"roll to see if we can save against majik?"
but....
So folks, I prefer that folks get a chance to make their
mistakes where we can say 'poo poo' rather than Taps....
We all got our Cards on the Table Now?
