5hours done 5hours complete

 

 

Dear blog I started on february 2nd and I met up with my mentor at the harbor masters at oaster point. My mentors name is tim and also had served 5 years in the coast guard befor he was a harbor master. Tim also was a medic in the ciast guard. That day that day I met up with him we did 5 hours of mentoring and he had taught me a lot in that anount of time.he showed me how to read the tide books for out in ouster point. You have add an extra hour that it said in the tide book for the tides coming in and out. Tim also showed me how to read all the meeters on the docks for each individual boat. The meeters show how much energy the boats use for each month to pay the bill for it. My mentor also showed me how to read the maps for the water freeways and were the big boats must stay in a certain current so that the do not bottom out on the dirt on low tides. The last thing I learned was that the bouwees in the water over there are maintained by that docks harbor mastwr and when exating the green light is on the right side and when coming in the red light is on the right

fiscal cliff response

President Obama says he won’t agree to spending cuts in return for Republicans’ raising the debt ceiling.The debt ceiling ought to be raised because nobody has a plan to eliminate the deficit immediately, and there is no popular support for doing what that would take.Third, the Federal Reserve should pledge to hold nominal income growth steady, since that would counteract any shock to consumer confidence.As Russ K has said in the past, the danger posed by the fiscal cliff is not solely whether we go over the side or not – it also matters what shape our economy is in before the plunge. Last week’s jobs report may have seemed like good news for the latter, but unfortunately a closer look at the numbers revealed a mixed. The Indy Star reported that a recent poll showed Hoosiers were evenly split on the issue of marriage with 45 percent favoring same sex marriage and 45 percent opposing it. That is a big step forward for this state.it conducted my research by using google and the tools on it.i searched it by the last hour and i have found articles that have showed me the recent fiscal cliffs.the most helpful was using the most resent knowlege of the fiscal cliffs and showed me republicans and democratics. the urls i used was http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20130111/EDIT05/301119988/1147/EDIT07

My capstone project I am doing job shadowing and I am going to be looking for a mentor for the Coast Guard. So far I have successfully created my letter to my mentor and now I must try to contact one for there approval to be a mentor for me. I am hoping to learn a lot from job shadowing for I am interested in the Coast Guard and I hope to do it as a career. I hope to learn what it means to be a Coast Guard officer and what it takes to do the job. I am also interested in what their lives are like when they are on the water either dong drug busts or search and rescue. I am also interested how do they train in most of these things. well that is at far as i have gotten in my capstone project so I will see you guys later. Clay Wayman
