Busy days

That does seem to be about all I say sometimes!  This week has been particularly hectic as we have been preparing for a multi-national exercise off the coast of Panama.

 

The problem with these big exercises, or any exercise for that matter, is that no matter how well orchestrated, they are still very hard to keep coordinated.  We spend hours trying to get through the last bit of paperwork, decipher intentions and make everything presentable to the rest of the people on the ship.  Part of Operations is the translation of intentions to a workable plan by the ship, and that seems to have eaten up this week.

 

The good side of that is the week went by quickly and it puts me seven days closer to being home (I’m counting Sundays, some people count Burger Days, some count days inport, etc)
