Hello son, so you are our new sailor, yes? Are you ready to kick ass and take names on one of the world’s finest and most devastating warships? Be advised kid, we are here standing by to visit violence upon those who would wish our country harm. I am not talking about some little missile that can take out a building; I am talking about missiles with the capability to level entire countries. So are you ready to get your hands dirty and start doing what needs to be done to protect the 314,000,000 people of the United States of America? Well not so fast, you may be all bright eyed and bushy tailed, but as it stands you are nothing but a N.U.B. or Non Useful Body. You have a stack of qualification cards to complete before you can even think about doing anything useful for the ship. Along with a bigger stack of qual cards to complete before you can start helping out your division. When you first start out it will seem extremely overwhelming. They throw so many tasks at you, then the next time they see you, they start ranting and raving about how they aren’t done yet. Fear not little buddy, as long as you keep your feet to the deck plate and keep working on your quals, you will do just fine. The following is an introduction to you qualification path along with some tips and methods I used while qualifying aboard this mighty warship.
I like this! It was more or less terrifying to read about how the world of the navy works. My dad was in the navy, but this was intriguing to me to read about from a diffrent perspective.
ReplyDeleteI like how you took a serious topic and made it more fun as well as approachable. Adds a little game aspect in there.
