There are lots of colors on the flight deck! This helps differentiate between rates and positions, so what might seem like chaos is actually a perfectly orchestrated evolution. A thread. #GreaterEachDay #WeLikeIke ARABIAN SEA (April 25, 2021) - Side boys prepare to render h
Oh, yellow! We didn’t see you there! Sailors in yellow are usually aircraft directors or shooters.

It's hot & humid operating in the #ArabianSea—like egg-frying on the flight deck kinda hot & the air is moist. (we don't use that word lightly). And if that isn't enough our Sailors go through Security Reaction Force-B’s OC-spray course. Yep, they get pepper sprayed. A thread.
OC stands for oleoresin capsicum, a safe, water-activated, deterrent for aggression. Symptoms include irritation of the eyes & skin and increased mucus production. Sailors must power through the discomfort and demonstrate situational awareness before starting the next challenge.
Next, the Sailors must show proficiency in a mechanical advantage control holds, which is used to help secure aggressors. (And at this point Sailors are questioning their life choices).

@mollieequick Great question. (a thread) We wondered the same thing, as he's not that big - if anything he's kinda skinny & frail. Here's what we found out when we walked into the Big XO's office & demanded to know why a skinny frail looking man is called the "Big XO". His words... 1/12
@mollieequick "Get. Out!" 2/12
@mollieequick So we asked others from around the ship why the Big XO is named such. We first tried chatting with SUPPO, but he was asleep in his stateroom, which is why we call him Sleepy SUPPO. 3/12
