The Chief Engineers are always the unsung heroes of ship travel. They keep ships running, and in an emergency, can save lives. My grandpa was a chief engineer in the U.S Navy, and made it to the rank of Lieutenant Commander.

I am in Iowa, its after four PM and I am stuck in a line at the Des Moines sewer plant waiting to unload a tanker of restaurant FOG (fats, oil, grease). Apparently the plant is suffering from some sort of failure. On a normal day I can get through here in under 20 minutes. Today I've been here several hours with three trucks ahead of me. Watching your video is helping me to pass the time. Thank you.

Thank you for letting us into your world! Do you spend some of your leisure time editing your videos, to be uploaded while in port? Your KZbin videos are so nicely done, plus I love your drone work, too! You said 2 GB a MONTH? Damn, yeah, that would limit you to emails without photos...If I were a woman of means, I would gift you a Viasat receiver and a year's unlimited service! You deserve it for your educational and entertaining content!

Many thanks! Your days are at the same time very similar and very different to our days of running the engine rooms on Mississippi River towboats. Much of what is done is the same, and we had less equipment and fewer crew. (Usually just me and a helper standing square watches.) Your videos give me a view into another world, I'll be back for more. Thanks again!

I liked that you described engine room conditions and let the volume of it play while talking, unless you’ve been there most people wouldn’t understand the conditions of working in that heat, noise and vibration. It always amazed me how engineers could communicate with each other from different levels or across a space, me, what did he say?
@peterwelch7745 Жыл бұрын
Remember an old Chief showing me how to 'spin' out a purifier by filling it with gas oil about 50yrs ago. Worked a treat. You'll have to explain to the viewers the art of communication in the E.R. with the noise of the turbo blowers howling. No salt tablets for breakfast? Great series.

Chief, I strongly recommend you try one of the sleep cycle smartphone apps. You start the app and lay your phone under your pillow as you sleep. It uses the phone's motion detector to figure out your sleep cycle and wake you close to your alarm-clock time when you're least asleep. It sounded like a gimmick to me, but I really find it helps me get up on time without snoozing, and with much less groggy feeling. The app I use is called "Sleep Cycle". I don't pay for any subscription.

I like your leadership style of assigning the work and allowing the crew to do it and staying out of the their way as long as the work is done to expectations/standards.....after all you cant force anyone to do anything, you can only encourage them, and I know you reward successes, and endure/right failures in a responsible manner, all signs of a good leader, You build a positive morale as a team to make everyone an equal part because no one person can do it all alone......... Good job my friend.
