While others struggled for hours vainly troubleshooting and attempting to repair this system , this CPO always seemed to get it up and running. One day I asked him his secret. Because I had done him a favor, he agreed if I wouldn't tell anyone else. His troubleshooting technique: Go into the equipment room, and dim the lights. Replace the tubes that weren't glowing. Read the paper, and relax for the next hour or two - and pronounce the system "miraculously repaired".

They were practicing zig-zag courses and for some reason the "sinous course clock" was inop. After a few minutes delicately probing the face of the Helm station I flipped the On/Off switch to the On position and declared the equipment back in operation. From that point on the Engi9neering Officer of the Watch always asked if they had checked the (spelled) "o-n / o-f-f" switch positions before he would dispatch the duty electricianDaveUSNretnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5657347751045557115.post-41697052750425110802014-03-16T12:00:40.217-07:002014-03-16T12:00:40.217-07:00Get er DONE!
