Small Boat Denotations

Chiefs remain knowledgeable in all aspects, and when a chief does not have the answer, they seek the answer, but never leave the Sailor hanging. To maintain morale and hard charging Sailors the chief recognizes efforts from junior Sailors with a bravo zulu, awards, or nominates them for Sailor of the quarter awards. A chief communicates and cares for his Sailor professional growth and personal life. The chief knows their Sailors work ethic because they observes and walks the deck to become familiar with each one. This is known as the deck plate leader, another tool the chief has in their toolbox. The deck plate leader knows every Sailor in the command, and if a Sailors family member issue arrives, the chief will find the

The short story “The Boat” by Alistair MacLeod is narrated by a man who comes from a fishing family. His mother’s side of the family has forever lived and worked by the sea and continues this tradition. The narrator’s father always wanted to be an academic, but worked on the boat to support his family. Through this passage it is evident that the parents’ characters clash in many aspects of their lives and are in constant conflict. MacLeod demonstrates this through the use of repetition, the contrast in other unrelated ideas, and through information that is withheld.

His mother’s side of the family has forever lived and worked by the sea and continues this tradition. The narrator’s father always wanted to be an academic, but worked by the sea to support his family. The parents’ characters seem to clash in many aspect of their lives and this is very evident in the passage.

“The Boat” by Nam Le, is a serious of short stories that while representing a number of different themes throughout each story, the central theme regards the complicated relationship between children and their parents, with each story examining this theme in different ways. The opening and closing stories, “Love and Honour and Pity and Pride and Compassion and Sacrifice”, and “The Boat”, not only develop the relationship between children and parents and how the child attempts to maintain this relationship; but also how they live their lives without their parents.

Would you sacrifice your life and happiness for someone else to give them a life of perfection? Alistair Macleod; raised in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, known as the protagonist and author of The Boat began to realize that his happiness isn't the only thing that matters. He told his father that he will stay by his side as long as he lived. Then he was suddenly gone. Alistair had no idea whether his father left because the sea wasn’t the right life for Alistair, or for himself. In The Boat Macleod conveys the idea that sacrificing happiness for another can ultimately lead to internal and external destruction through the use of irony, the protagonist's journey, and symbolism.

Don't be afraid to take an unfamiliar path, sometimes they’re the ones that take you to the best places. (Jaydee/ google images) Becoming unfamiliar with a place that ones have considered home can be difficult because home is a place blessed, where someone and their family can be secure, and share sadness and happiness. Where individuals can help each other as a family. When individuals such those in “The Return” or “A Marker on the Side of a Boat” get forced out of their homes and the place that ones was familiar to them but later becomes unfamiliar due to the damage and changes. “The Return” by Elie Wiesel and “A Marker on the Side of a Boat” by Bao Ninhin both have an internal conflict that the protagonist experiences as they encounter hopes,

The setting of Alistair Macleod’s short story, The Boat, complements the setting of Alden Nowlan’s poem, Warren Pryor.  Each of these writing pieces contain the element of a smaller town with a tight knit community.  In the short story The Boat, our community is a Nova Scotian community whose primary industry is fishing.  This results in most of the members of the community partaking in the fishing lifestyle.  Another influential location this writing piece takes place in is inside of the house, “which was one of about fifty that marched around the horseshoe of [his] harbour,” (Macleod 263).  Most of the homes in this town are situated close to the water as it is there where most of the men work as fishermen.  Inside the house was his father's room where “magazines and books covered the bureau,” (Macleod 265).  It was in their father’s room where the children discover their love of reading and become more dedicated to their schooling.  Both the short story and the poem contain the setting of a school, which is symbolic as it is their education that allows the characters to be free of their obligations and the way of their town.  Finally, the setting takes place on the Jenny Lynn, “she was what Nova Scotians called a Cape Island boat and was designed for the small inshore fishermen,” (Macleod 262) and it is on this boat where the father and son make their final journey out to sea.  Likewise, the poem Warren Pryor takes place in another resource based community, however, this

2. Coast Guard policy currently requires that any pistol qualified members who have allowed their qualification to lapse, or failed to re-qualify on Practical Pistol Course (PPC), must re-qualify on the basic pistol course before attempting to qualify on the PPC course. A lapse of qualification is identified as not qualifying on the PPC course within 365 days of previous qualification. Failure to qualify on the Sig Saur P226DAK service pistol may be attributed to many factors. Members can fail to qualify for a number of reasons: Lack of familiarization with the weapon system due to limited opportunities to practice with the P226DAK is the leading factor. Many members will only fire with this weapons system during biannual weapons qualification. Weapon costs and rental availability at gun shops and shooting ranges in the members area make more practice and familiarity difficult at best, and nonexistent at worst. Members may also fail to qualify on the PPC course due to the many steps of the PPC course, and again, lack of practice in the various steps of the

Western and Indigenous knowledge systems differ in values, habits of mind and practices; however, there has been productive cross-cultural collaboration that integrates global vision with social and cultural dimensions. Productive collaboration addresses past contradictions in the coevolution of society, science and environment. Ten Canoes is a cross-culturally collaborative film that was meant to portray the Yolngu community in its true representation in an attempt to bridge the black and white Australian cultural divide by sharing its traditions and values with a non-Indigenous audience. Important spiritual and cultural information is shared throughout the passage of the film that frames and contextualizes the cosmology of the Yolngu people (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p. 85). Dutch-born director Rolf De Heer and Yolngu director Peter Djigirr consolidate to show modern audiences the “community’s cultural continuance and to connect between individuals and the community both past and present” (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p. 86). Additionally, Ten Canoes is only spoken in the Yolngu’s Indigenous language. For Yolngu audiences, “the use of their own languages in Ten Canoes highlights the vibrancy of a continuing linguistic heritage” (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p. 87). Simultaneously, audiences that cannot understand the language of the Yolngu people read subtitles that create a critical intimacy to engage in “passion and reason while seeking understanding” (Clothier & Dudek, 2009: p.

You are stationed onboard a ship deployed to the Persian Gulf, the temperature outside exceeds 100°. You 're standing in the lunch line, in front of you is a sailor drenched in sweat looking impossibly overheated. He is an EN and has been spending his morning in the machinery spaces maintaining the ever humming and hot machinery that keeps the ship moving through the sea. Behind you a sailor in a foul weather jacket who is nearly shivering. He is an ET and has just come from his job in the electronic spaces maintaining the ships radars and radios. These electronic devices must remain cold, or they will overheat and malfunction, the spaces are so cold you must wear a jacket. The EN asks the ET “How did you get so lucky to be working in air-conditioned spaces while I‘m sweating my buttocks off down in the engine room?” The ET replies “Choose your rate, choose your fate.” It is one of our favorite sayings in the enlisted Navy. It has just enough truth to be annoying. The Navy 's enlisted ranks are subdivided into occupational skills groups that we call ratings. Examples of these enlisted ratings include EN or Engineman and ET or Electronic Technician. When enlisting in the Navy you choose an occupational field you think you would like to enter. After completing a series of skills tests, you are classified and eventually placed in a rating. The rating will determine what training you receive and ultimately the job you will be performing on board the ship.

The Parachute Rigger (PR) rating, which came to fruition in 1942 to satisfy World War II parachute survival regulations, initially included the general service rating with career ascendancy from striker-level status through Chief Parachute Rigger (PRC) status. Presently, service members are not permitted to “strike” for PR due to safety concerns. Instead, they are required to attend technical schools that help them gain the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve designation in this
