Your Movements

You ever been put in a situation, well have you ever been in a situation that has been created by those around you that put you in a position in which you MUST act?  This is at first an emotional roller coaster that no one should ever have to deal with, but, once the emotions are spent and logic set in it makes perfect rational sense. Concepts are grasped and understood; future creation of value is easily understood and realized, its just part of living in an older city, it’s ok. Seen it before in the various places I have lived, especially in major metropolitan areas, it is especially effective in areas that are susceptible to the freeze thaw cycles.

 

Can you imagine the frustration of those who expected everyone to be ignorant?  Especially when the area targeted for specific purposes was chosen to create the desired effect.  How do statistics get manipulated?  Well if a percentage of something that is considered a Public concern, or a nuisance per se, can be eliminated, as in no longer there, the statistics will improve dramatically.  It’s in line with identifying and removing the cause, sort of like removing a tumor of a cancer patient. Numerically it is a Win, Win, what could ever be wrong with that?

 

I am learning to speak in platitudes, as I have been recently exposed to hearing them, learning to listen to them to me, is difficult, as I tend to speak what others need to hear, not necessarily what they want to hear.  It would be as if I put one of you in the Diving Officer of the Watch seat on a nuclear powered submarine, and you were expected to succeed without causing harm to others.  You would be expected to have accumulated the required knowledge of pressure, salinity, buoyancy, trim, and continuous compensation for the moving of weight (water) by either the creation of potable water or the human wastes associated with its consumption.

 

Of course, those are Principles one must master, along with every immediate action for each type of numerous emergencies that may occur at anytime, as being at sea on a Boat is inherently a dangerous profession.  Must be while most of our life preservation emergency equipment was Miner Safety equipment (MSA). Don’t forget the routine procedures that are conducted merely to increase the survivability of catastrophic failures, as any excessive or extreme depth excursions result in death. The end would occur in this way, take a can of pop or soda, pour it into a glass or cup. Take the can and carefully balance your body on top of it without crushing the can. Then have someone touch the can with an object. This action changes the support created by the can in such a way that when it fails the can is violently crushed under the pressure of your body weight. Same concept but instead of using the pressure of your body weight the pressure is that of the Ocean. Hope that explains it in a simple enough way that most can comprehend.

 

I recall back in 1991 while participating in Submarine Qualification Board, being tasked with assuming that I was a molecule of salt water.  The task was to track that molecule being ingested into the boat.  Track that molecule to its various destinations of fresh water requirements onboard and then using that same Principle, ingest it, expel it from my body, then expel it from the ship.  Noting valve numbers, location, and pressure requirements for expelling it at sea.  The pressure required would very by depth of course since everything is exposed to pressure, whether it be air (barometric) pressure or sea (water) pressure.

 

I am grateful for my loving Wife who attempts to listen to what I have to say, granted how I say it comes off rough around the edges.  Why?  See above.  It’s not that I am still on a Boat, but the Principles of life and property preservation do not change dependent upon location, it is an inherent duty.  These are simple human concepts.  Do no harm to others and don’t take or break other peoples stuff.  When instances like this occur and are noticed, no matter where or when or over what time period, one reverts back to instances in which actions of the past come back and one determines what corrective actions or scientific Principles apply.

The acronym SWIM comes to mind.

Secure the problem (leak, flooding)

Warn others of impending or existing problem

Initiate clean up and Isolate for repair

Minimize damage

 

After I completed my 20 yr career in the Navy, I was fortunate enough to be employed as an instructor for the Army. First as an electronic warfare (EW), and the last as a intel instructor. Both were rewarding as the interactions with the young men and women going to war for you and I touched my soul. One of the acronyms we used in the insurgency was an assessment named SWEAT-MS. It is listed below. It is considered issues that can be used to manipulate the population to compliance, subjugating the populace to the rulers, or government. We would instruct the deploying troops to classify each as Red, Yellow, or Green, just like a stop light.

Why am I writing this? My blog is being read around the world, in very specific places. Why? That would require asking why, as in too what end. This is an interesting location and time that we live in, I am thankful my Father suggested that I make the Navy a career. I am grateful for my pension and the ability to attend NASCAR races in PHX using it, while still being responsible for my debts. Debts like my mortgage and the services associated with it such as, gas bill, water bill, electricity, property taxes, oh and don’t forget the sewer bill. Merely attempting to illustrate that I, unlike some “Leaders” or “Luminaries”, or “Elitists” am not full of feces.

 

That’s all folks.’s
