The Machine

28January2004:
Conceptual thought of the day about the Navy:
1). People who stay in the Navy (at least blue shirts) stay in because they don’t know how to do anything else or they are "institutionalized".
2). You are advanced in the Navy not because you’re the best, but rather you are what is left after everyone else (the better) gets the fuck out.
3) Is it possible for me to go anywhere on this boat for greater than 5 minutes without someone shitting their pants? I mean come on.

Daily Quote:
"What we do in life, echoes an eternity" -Maximus from "Gladiator"
"What we do in life, echoes an eternity, or, it will just fade away into a bleak, small little cave at the edge of darkness known to you as your destiny" -[MM1] from "USS Albuquerque."

Idiotic Binder of the Day:
"Minor Deficiency Binder" aka in La La Land as the CSMP and the ESL. You can never have enough ways to track the same shit. See also: ZDL.

What I saw [MM2] actually do today: He dropped the crow’s foot for the EAFW zincs from ERUL to ERLL. This enabled [MM1] to work longer. He left the drain valve for ASW to EAFW HX open. While the inlet was open. For a while. Check it off on the work list fellas.

Daily Motivational Attribute: If you work as much as the #37 E-5, you will make just as much money. Remember, nobody ever remembers the #36 guy.
Body parts God can take if he will just get you out of the Navy:
3 fingers not including thumbs or pointer fingers, a broken leg resulting in permanent disability, an eyeball, an ear, all of the toes, a testicle, every strand of hair, 1 layer of skin, eyelids, toe nails and finger nails, a kidney, a lung, 2 feet of intestines, and [ELT2].

Finally:

If you stare at this triangle long enough, someone will think you’re actually reading something important. Now go take your logs.


29January2004:
Happiness:
1 sheet of plain white paper soiled in oil- $0.15
1 black ink pen that runs all over the place- $1
1 Binder for tracking run time hours -$3.00
1 Scientific calculator from 1843 -$15.00
Listening to [MM2] scream about having to recalculate and re-write 3 ½ months of Run Hours. Priceless.

Picture of [MM1], [ELT2], and [MM2]:
Ways to spend your duty day: Make unrecognizable drawings of people you work with.



This chart represents how stupid I am for joining the Navy.
