Crazy week to Calm-- Inspired by another day on the Iron Nickel..

Crazy week to Calm.. 
 Just last week , everything was hectic , crazy and out of control.. I strongly believe you are as strong or weak as your leader. Now under new management .. Things are working out. Last week my group of guys were running around trying to get things done.. Now,, after our safety inspection and great reviews, Times on board are good, but theirs always tomorrow. On a Ship , things change day to day , even hour to hour. It just depends on the events going on.. As for now we are in a calm before the storm.. Because we are expecting one of our past presidents,, Jimmy Carter to make a visit to our humble ship.. The preps for his visit has been exhausting,, painting , cleaning , more painting , more deep cleaning,, its a endless routine ,, all sailors know all too well. But it is gratifying after that crazy week of organizing , cleaning and the such.. We get a great inspection review.. But like I said,, their are more to come and like a good leader ,, I must prepare myself and the troops to keep the pressure going. If theirs one thing I notice about my troops is that they like me and when I ask them to do things , they do show up and do it!! But at times I wonder about them.. But as my days are dwindling on board and my career as a sailor is taking its final run,, I must say its gratifying to see my lectures or inspirational speeches take over,.,. I know all of them will become better sailors and I will be better prepared for my next career, perhaps as a mid- level supervisor leading people to work.. I do love that  leading people.. I'm not very good at meetings or discussions or what. I like running the deck plates and working and supervising people that run the show.. As for now a successful inspection , but it's only Monday , I expect craziness to get cranked up before the week is done.. But for now I will take this clam , great day , because those types of days have been few and too spread out. Perhaps is the clam before the storm.. and once again I will overcome and get the job done.. of course with all the drama . and complaints that come with this job.. Until  my next adventure on the Iron Nickel.. Hang tough and Be strong !! THE SOURCE PRODUCTIONS @ 2012
