Everyone has to have clean clothes, right? Simple, just take them downstairs to the laundry room. What if you’re a sailor on-board a nuclear powered submarine? A submarine out at sea for 30 days or more crammed full of about 150 sailors, sailors that still need to wash their uniforms. Unfortunately, due to limited space, submarines are equipped with only one washer and dryer, just like any household. Imagine being on a submarine, out in the middle of the ocean and the only washer or dryer breaks. It may seem trivial, but for the crew of a submarine having clean clothes is essential to maintaining good order and discipline, to keeping morale high, and allowing the crew to accomplish the mission. Logically, it would be prudent for the submarine …show more content…
With the proper part an electrician can easily replace the heating element or a mechanic can replace a leaking hose. On the other hand, if the part isn’t on-board the crew must now revert back to the days before electricity and wash their clothes by hand. Utilizing the deep sink is by far the easiest to wash clothes by hand, but most members of the ship will simply utilize the sinks in the bathrooms. Now, if the dryer is the victim of the casualty, the crew will have wet clothes to hang up. Space on-board a submarine is at a limited at best, finding a place to hang up laundry that would not interfere with daily operations is a challenge. By capitalizing on the ventilation system, the crew can dry their clothes in a few hours rather than to hang up clothes all over work spaces or in the racks (6x3x3 box where the sailor sleeps). The central location for all ventilation is the fan room, the largest non-working space on-board ship, it houses five industrial grade fans designed to circulate air at a rate of 1500 cubic feet per minute throughout approximately 300 yards of living/working space on-board ship. Stringing up laundry in the fan room will allow sailors the opportunity to dry their clothes without interfering too much with routine operations. But this doesn’t provide enough space for sailors to dry their clothes, so alternate locations have to be found to dry laundry. With clothes lines all over the boat, not only are daily routines are impeded, but there is also in increased chance of fire

The wear and appearance of soldiers in the United States Army are while in uniform should be neat. There should be no excess “things” in a person’s pocket but it should lie down flat. The person wearing the uniform should look neat and concise not drawing attention to themselves. Soldiers should look like a unit or group with everyone blending in not standing out because they look different. In the army it’s important to be part of a team and like teams that play basketball, football, soccer, lacrosse, softball, baseball, wrestling, and even chess teams.

Honor, Courage, and Commitment are the back bone to the U.S. Navy they infuse the Navy with a living life blood an unfaultable force. Honor to me is associated with pride not the seven deadly sins pride, but more like taking a personal ownership in all that you do so that you present your absolute best every time. As an officer this is the standard that should be strived for and extended upon; the taking of ownership not only of tasks, but the well being of your sailors as well. Courage to me has many forms it could be that sailor/soldier who gets a soft whisper in their ear that tells them to enlist so they can stand on the front lines to protect others, or the kid who takes his and others fears and takes a stand against the playground
In North America many of the new colonies participated in free shipping trading with counties all over the world with little interference by Britain. However after the French and Indian which ended in 1763 the British wanted to recover the money they lost to supplying the war on multiple continents using tariffs and restrictions on colonial trade they did see an increase in revenue during that period. They did so by implementing a series of tariffs such as sugar acts, stamp acts, and the navigation acts limiting colonists on foreign trade. Colonists would only take so much of Britain’s oppression. Looking at these intolerable acts as limits to their freedoms without proper representation or say in parliament, colonists took action. On
Cleanliness lifts our spirits. Looking our best defeats the argument of staying home because we're not dressed. Deciding to care for ourselves in small ways somehow makes it easier to value bigger changes.

A recent argument has arisen that student athletes should be provided with stipends each year for miscellaneous items such as food, gas, clothes, and travels back home. The main issue with providing these stipends is that some people feel that doing so is exemplifying that student athletes on scholarships are being paid to play their sport. The idea of stipends for scholarship athletes is frowned upon for 3 main reason: student athletes will be considered employees for the university, student athletes are already fully funded for and do not have a need for extra money, and an unbalanced budget to be able to pay these stipends. These athletes, however, are very deserving of these stipends. The controversial issue is a major problem because

The United States of America has not always been the world superpower that it is today. The same goes for its Navy. In the first several years of existence, the United States Navy was not a formidable fighting force. The young nation was hesitant to invest in a navy for many reasons, one of them being to prevent provoking the world powers of the time, France and Britain. On top of that, navies were very expensive to build and required a significant amount of resources to maintain, which the U.S. did not have at the time. To say that the United States Navy was ill prepared for war would be a dramatic understatement. The U.S. had a total of fifteen ships in its entire naval fleet compared to the might of the Royal Navy which possessed over six hundred warships. Even with the odds stacked against the U.S., President Madison declared war on 18 JUN 1812. The lack of size and power of the navy at the time would make it extremely difficult to satisfy the needs of the newly founded nation.
