DRAMA AT SEA.. INSPIRED BY Jason...
  Life at sea , it seems it never ends, the drills , the exercises , the break downs , the arguments , frustrations , the rants. I must say My friend can do some of the best rants ever. It seems , at times he loves to do it and other times he's ready to just give up and call it a career. I mean 20 years is along time to do Navy life,. I mean he has seen and done everything and has seen death , and injuries far too many times for any ones lifetimes. His passion in telling stories about past experiences makes me feel I'm with him during those troubled times. The bigotry , the lack of understanding and the harshness of the old navy , makes me realize he's a strong guy to endure all those times.. But I also see today's Navy being a stress to him because as he calls it " The hip hop , lolipop Navy.. the lost in MP3 generation. He has many views and concerns with today's youth,. Their lack of commitment to anything , is alarming and their lack of caring for another mind boggling , the back stabbing , the bickering and the overall mistrust of everyone is something My friend cant seem to understand. The navy he grew up in was a harsh , firm but fair navy,. there was friendship , teamwork, and a overall feeling of togetherness. I see him trying that with his last division of his career. The passion he displays is admiring, but I also see it a lost cause. " his a one man Army !! and its getting to him. But like the warrior and hard headed guy he is , I know next week, he again attack with fervor and come up with some good rants or inspirational speeches. But for now I feel for him ,because he has tried so hard to bring his guys together. But there are one or two that just don't get it.. But hey theres always tomorrow and another set of sailors coming in, and I'm sure he will instruct them into being the ' GUNG HO " high spirited person he is.. But to be honest , I say he's the last of that noble and passionate side.. I really hope he leaves the ship on a good note and cherish those good times he had with other commands and duty stations and cherish those few moments he has shared with this division. I know I cherish what he has done for me and my morale issues. He is truly a inspirational guy that motivates people by simply doing things.. LEAD BY EXAMPLE., is by far the best way to get people to work.. His words" If a old man can do it , I'm sure you young bloods can do it!! In other words he tries to get you embarrassed if you cant keep up with the old man. I truly respect him and I hope he continues his high profile and energetic attitude until he departs, I feel its something he wants to do and something we all enjoy seeing in action. He is a one of kind guy that can be whatever he wants to be.. Thank you shipmate and continue your mentoring ways and teaching ways , we all enjoy it and it always inspires us to try our best.
