RIKER: Thank you. Please take that to Engineering.

WORF: Phaser upgrades are complete, Commander.
RIKER: Already?
WORF: And we have begun power supply calibration.
RIKER: You're just too damned efficient, Lieutenant.
WORF: Thank you, sir.
RIKER: Continue with the testing, Mister Worf. Here's the final schedule for the shore leave and for the personnel transfers. By the way, I'm looking forward to meeting your parents.
WORF: Sir?
RIKER: They're on the visitors' list. You didn't know?
WORF: No, sir. It is inappropriate for a Klingon to receive family while on duty. As humans, my parents do not understand.
RIKER: Well, I'm not sure that I would either, Worf, since this isn't a Klingon ship. If you don't want to see your parents, that's your business, but we don't get to Earth all that often. I'm sure we can arrange for you to have more off duty time while they're here.
WORF: No, sir. That will not be necessary.
RIKER: Dismissed. Mister Worf, if you're worried that they might learn about what happened on the Klingon planet
WORF: Not at all. I have already informed them by correspondence of my discommendation. I do not believe any human can truly understand my dishonour.

The American Presidency Project
Franklin D. Roosevelt
XXXII President of the United States: 1933-1945
79 - Letter Requesting a Report by the National Emergency Council on the Problems and Needs of the South.
June 22, 1938
My dear Mr. Mellett:
Discussions in Congress and elsewhere in connection with legislation affecting the economic welfare of the Nation have served to point out the differences in the problems and needs of the different sections of the Country and have indicated the advisability of a clear and concise statement of these needs and problems in a form readily available, not only to the members of Congress, but to the public generally.
Attention has recently been focused particularly upon the South in connection with the Wages and Hours Bill, and I should like the National Emergency Council to undertake the preparation of such a statement of the problems and needs of the South. In preparing this statement I suggest that you call freely upon the various governmental departments and administrative agencies for information as to matters with which they are especially acquainted, and also that you request the assistance of Southerners well known for their interest in the South and familiarity with its problems.
The outcome of this undertaking may indicate the advisability of similar studies with reference to other sections of the country.
Very sincerely,
Honorable Lowell Mellett,
Executive Director,

PICARD: The nightmares have ended. All I need now is a little time to myself.
TROI: I agree. In fact, I'm delighted you're going. It's just that the choice of where you're going could stand some scrutiny.

TROI: Is that what you believe?

TROI: Captain, you do need time. You cannot achieve complete recovery so quickly. And it's perfectly normal, after what you've been through, to spend a great deal of time trying to find yourself again.
PICARD: And what better place to find oneself than on the streets of one's home village.
TROI: Interesting. Have a good trip, Captain.

Well, forgive me for being so inquisitive......but lately I've wondered...... whether you might be having second thoughts about the mission?
How do you mean?
Well, it's rather difficult to define. Perhaps I'm just projecting my own concern about it. I know I've never completely freed myself of the suspicion... ... that there are some extremely odd things about this mission. I'm sure you'll agree there's some truth in what I say.
That's a rather difficult question to answer.
You don 't mind talking about it, do you, Dave?
No, not at all.
Certainly no one could have been unaware of the very... ...strange stories floating around before we left. Rumors about something being dug up on the moon. I never gave these stories much credence... ...but particularly in view of some other things that have happened... ...I find them difficult to put out of my mind. For instance... ... the way all our preparations were kept under such tight security. And the melodramatic touch of putting Drs. Hunter... ...Kimball, and Kaminsky aboard... ...already in hibernation, after four months of training on their own.
You working up your crew psychology report?
Of course I am. Sorry about this. I know it's a bit silly. Just a moment. Just a moment. I've just picked up a fault in the AE-35 unit. It's going to go 100 percent failure within 72 hours.
Is it still within operational limits?
Yes. And it will stay that way until it fails.
We have 72 hours till failure?
Yes. That's a completely reliable figure.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
What is the difference between a Foreign Service Specialist and a Foreign Service Officer/Generalist?
Both Foreign Service Specialists and Generalists are direct-hire career employees of the Department of State.
Foreign Service Specialists provide important technical, support or administrative services in 22 career categories, including Doctors and Physician Assistants, Office Management Specialists, Information Management Specialists, Diplomatic Security Agents, Human Resource Specialists. Each category has specific requirements regarding education and experience. Details are available at the Foreign Service Specialist section under Work.
Specialists apply for a position through the Gateway to State online application process via USAJobs (there is no initial written test to become a Specialist.) You can view all Specialist positions under Jobs; if the position that you qualify for is not currently accepting applications, you can subscribe to receive email updates (click on the social media dropdowns, and enter your email address under Keep Me Informed) as soon as the vacancy opens once again.
View all the steps to become a Specialist under Work --> Worldwide/Foreign Service --> Foreign Service Specialist Specialist --> Selection Process.
Foreign Service Officers, also referred to as Foreign Service Generalists, enter in one of five career tracks - Consular, Economic, Management, Political, or Public Diplomacy. There is no specific requirement for education or experience. More information is available at the Foreign Service Officer section under Work.
Officers/Generalists start the application process by taking and passing the Foreign Service Officer Test. You can view the steps to becoming a Foreign Service Officer under Work --> Worldwide/Foreign Service --> Foreign Service Officer --> Selection Process.
Employment benefits for Specialists and Generalists are generally the same. All serve in a series of overseas assignments at U.S. embassies and consulates around the world for much of their careers, with some domestic postings.
The selection processes for Specialists and Generalists differ, although all include an Oral Assessment, medical and security clearances and a suitability review. Additionally, Specialists may be expected to serve within their functional area throughout their careers, while Generalists typically will have some assignments over the course of a career that that are inter-functional or in a different career track. For example, whatever the career track, entry-level Generalists usually serve in consular assignments in one or both of the first two tours.

Confrontation in the Persian Gulf : U.S. Humbling of Iran Viewed as a Turning Point in Gulf War
April 20, 1988 TYLER MARSHALL Times Staff Writer
MANAMA, Bahrain — As Iranian leaders vowed Tuesday to avenge their losses in the previous day's clashes with U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf, regional analysts viewed the fighting as part of a new chapter that will alter the course of the seemingly endless Iran-Iraq War.
Some described the recent developments as a "watershed," although they admitted that it is not clear exactly where events are heading.
They noted that Monday's attack marked the first time that Iran's nine-year-old revolutionary government has been so humiliated by American military strength.
"The Americans have shown the extent of their firepower for all to see," noted Heino Kopietz, who monitors developments in the Persian Gulf War for the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. "It's bigger than any previous U.S. action against Iran. It's a watershed."
Iran's government-run radio said Tuesday that the attacks cost more than 40 Iranian lives in addition to two oil platforms, a patrol boat and two badly damaged frigates.
It quoted the commander of the Iranian navy, Commodore Mohammed Hussein Malekzadegan, as saying that 15 sailors aboard the patrol boat Joshan were killed and 20 others were wounded when it was hit by fire from the U.S. Navy cruiser Wainwright.

XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate on the United States Military Strike in the Persian Gulf
April 19, 1988
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. President:)
On April 14, 1988, the USS SAMUEL B. ROBERTS struck a mine in international waters of the Persian Gulf. Lookouts on the ROBERTS had spotted three mines lying perpendicular to the ship's course and about 700 yards away. The ROBERTS struck a mine set deeper than the others and not visible from the ship. Ten servicemen were injured. The detonation caused a nine-foot hole in the ship's hull near the main engine room, below the water line; a split in the ship's bulkhead between the main engine room and an auxiliary machinery room; and a fire. The ROBERTS is now safely in a repair facility.
An examination of the mines remaining in the water established that they were M08 mines, the same type Iran was caught placing in the water from the IRAN AJR on September 21, 1987. They had been freshly laid in an area transited by U.S. convoys. No barnacles or marine growth were on the mines. Most important, the mines bore markings of the same type and series as on those laid by the IRAN AJB. No doubt exists that Iran laid these mines for the specific purpose of damaging or sinking U.S. or other non-belligerent ships. We have warned Iran repeatedly against such hostile acts.
In response to this attack on the ROBERTS and commencing at approximately 1:00 a.m. (EDT), April 18, 1988, Armed Forces of the United States assigned to the Joint Task Force Middle East, after warning Iranian personnel and providing an opportunity to escape, attacked and effectively neutralized the Sassan and Sirri Platforms, which have been used to support unlawful Iranian attacks on non-belligerent shipping. While these events were taking place, an Iranian helicopter and small boats attacked an oil rig and the U.S.-flag vessel WILLI TIDE in the Mubarak oil field. In response, U.S. A-6 aircraft attacked three Iranian Boghammar small boats, sinking at least one.
Subsequently, U.S. Forces were attacked by the Iranian PTG JOSHAN, FFG SAHAND, and FFG SABALAN. In response to these attacks, U.S. Forces severely damaged or sank the Iranian vessels. Iranian F—4 fighters also approached the USS SIMPSON and the USS WAINWRIGHT in a threatening manner; the SIMPSON and WAINWRIGHT fired at the aircraft, causing their retreat.
Search and rescue efforts were undertaken to locate a missing AH-1 Cobra helicopter from the WAINWRIGHT. The helicopter had two men on beard. As of 7:00 a.m. (EDT) today, the search and rescue efforts were continuing.
These necessary and proportionate actions by U.S. Armed Forces were taken at my specific direction in the exercise of our inherent right of self-defense, recognized in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and pursuant to my constitutional authority with respect to the conduct of foreign relations and as Commander in Chief. We have completed these serf-defense actions and consider the matter closed. Since March 1987, I and members of my Administration have provided to Congress letters, reports, briefings, and testimony in connection with developments in the Persian Gulf and the activities of U.S. Armed Forces in the region. In accordance with my desire that Congress be kept fully informed on this matter, I am providing this report consistent with the War Powers Resolution. I look forward to cooperating with Congress in pursuit of our mutual, overriding aim of peace and stability in the Persian Gulf region. In this connection, I regard the continued presence of U.S. Armed Forces to be essential to the achievement of that aim. Our Forces remain prepared to take any additional action necessary to protect themselves, U.S.-flag vessels, and U.S. lives. Sincerely,
RONALD REAGAN

Number three was decoyed by a chaff cloud and ran straight into the sea half a mile behind the carrier. The warhead caused the carrier to vibrate and raised a column of water a thousand feet into the air.
The fourth and fifth missiles came in from aft, not a hundred yards apart. The after gun mount tracked on both, but couldn't decide which to engage first. It went into Reset mode and petulantly didn't engage any.

``They likewise gave a warning,`` Crowe said. ``We could see that a gun was manned on the platform. It did not fire at us. . . . They commenced abandoning. A few people chose not to. We took the platform under fire. They then went into the water. We do not know if any of these people were killed or not.``
He said the Sirri was destroyed by the shelling of 5-inch guns, which caused a major fire.
It was at the Sirri location, Pentagon officials said, that the U.S. vessels first came under attack. They said the Iranian missile boat Joshan, a 10-year-old, 154-foot high-speed patrol craft, ignored warnings from U.S. ships and ``fired at us.``
``The Simpson fired three standard missiles, two of which hit the PTG
(the Joshan). The Wainwright fired one, which hit the PTG,`` Crowe said.
