    Another Military travesty

    Actually, I don't view ANY others as "less than". However, I spend little time trying to "catch someone up" because of their background, socialization, or character. Trust me, i'm a true believer in Equal Opportunity, but, Affirmitave Action, don't get nuthin but someone killed in that biz...

    Another Military travesty

    Tis obvious, you don't have a clue about what you type. Let us know how your kid gets along with the "changing Navy culture". Are you one of the "gifted" ones?

    Another Military travesty

    I read a bit ago that the Commander of our Aircraft Carrier Enterprise will be/has been relieved of Command for not staying abreast of the "changing Navy culture". A shame! Seems we have some CIVILIAN bureaucrat that has not flown anything more important than a touchy feeley desk, making...

    The sweet smell of cooked bearings and belts

    it is just simply called a sustainable pm program. When yer there, replace everything during a rebuild. Then look for something else that is getting dated. Keep some records, so's yer not shooting in the dark. Not too complicated. jes save some heartburn an do it.

    I know. But, interestingly way too many jes don't get it. It's jes a "job". They don't understand it's a business, an......there are many "customers".....ie. dispatchers, shippers, recievers, that are watching........closely. Ain't yer average day job, so don't treat it as such. I gotta...

    Who Pays?

    Why in the world would you move your equipment WITHOUT basic information about who, where, what?? I understand the need to try and get a step ahead of the competition out there, however, when you gamble and loose, well.....you loose. Just the cost of doing business. On the bright side, you...

    What is owed you?

    You cannot pay what you cannot collect. Your contractor shot the ability to collect in the foot by leaving. And that alone is just the tip of the iceberg as far as damage to a Company reputation. Unfortunately, clowns like that will cost you long after their FIRST hiccup. I never waited for...
