Musings, leadership tidbits and quotes posted by a retired Navy Captain (really just a high performing 2nd Class Petty Officer) who hung up his uniform a bit too early. He still wears his Navy service on his sleeve. He needs to get over that. "ADVANCE WARNING - NO ORIGINAL THOUGHT!" A "self-appointed" lead EVANGELIST for the "cryptologic community". Keeping CRYPTOLOGY alive-one day and Sailor at a time. 2015 is 80th Anniversary of the Naval Security Group.

Did you never work with the devices mechanical? The devices electrical? The devices eloctronic? The generators? The sudden loss of power?
Nobody scheduled to be onboard was killed in a car accident on the way to work.
Yeah, I knew where you were going with your post but it lost touch with my 30 year reality working in the navy.
One of our Petty Officers had it as a decal in the back window of his pickup parked in the Admiral Kidd Parking Lot everyday as we went to sea and returned, whenever. It said, "SHIT HAPPENS" The high class folks at the Naval Training Center and Admiral Kidd Club objected loudly but we were somewhat deafened by the engines and gunfire they never heard.
You don't rule out mistakes and shit happens, you plan for it. You mitigate it. You expect it and you deal with it.
Amen.
