Laptop on bunk + heavy seas + steel deck - external hard drive = dis enrollment

Laptop on bunk = “gear adrift” = not good…
taking this one step further, making sure things are “secured for sea” in a “seaman like fashion” whether it’s your laptop, cargo, cargo gear, hatch covers, ground tackle, bridge, stateroom, engine room, bosun’s locker, galley or whatever… = a successful career at sea ;)</p>

I can’t imagine going to sea without an external hard drive.

I would recommend having one too…
But also remember, paper may be flimsy and ephemeral, but, (unlike your computer or external hard drive) it never forgets what you write on it… :)</p>

<p>paper never forgets what you write on it, but it also can get lost, burned, wet, ripped and erased… you also can’t finish all of your sea projects if you only use paper…</p>

<p>The business sea project is now only allowed to be submitted via computer.
Which in turn, makes the paper argument void.</p>

<p>Although I do agree on the gear adrift remark.
However if you have a situation like me where your processor melts on board the ship, you’re in the same situation. Luckily, I had everything backed up on my external and could finish my project on the ships computer</p>

<p>After some discussion it was pointed out, to me, that the Mid actively engaged in espionage. Espionage or spying involves an individual obtaining information that is considered secret or confidential without the permission of the holder of that information. Espionage is inherently clandestine; as the legitimate holder of the information may change plans or take other countermeasures once it is known that the information is in unauthorized hands. Maybe I’m wrong but isn’t espionage a treasonable offence once one takes their oath of office and is subject to the UCMJ?</p>

<p>Either way, once one is identified as being willing to participate in espionage against the US government, job prospects become very dim in either the private or public sector.</p>
