GETTING UNDERWAY
A young Ensign, who had just completed his first overseas deployment, was given the opportunity to "show his stuff" by getting his ship underway. As he yelled our commands with great confidence, sailors were running everywhere. In no time, the ship came out of the channel, headed for home. It was accomplished so well that he set a new record for getting a destroyer underway. He wasn't surprised when a seaman approached him with a message from his CO. . . he was surprised to find that it was a radio message. He was even more surprised as he read, "Bravo Zulu upon completing your underway preparation exercise according to the book and with amazing speed. In your haste, however, you have overlooked one of the unwritten rules. Always make sure the CO is aboard before getting underway."
In our haste to "get underway" daily in this vast ocean that we call "life," let us remember to make sure that God is aboard. It is He who will guide and direct us safely through the storms and rough seas!
LCDR Diana L. Meehan, CHC, USN

Christ is the Captain of our vessel. He will calm the tempest seas and bring us to safe harbor.
