LATER. Everyone has had a little time to get used to their new situation. Ford is organising the Atlantis crew and the villagers in the Gateroom.
FORD: People, listen up. No-one gets to sit down until they've cleared two pieces of equipment off this deck. Now let's go.
(Up in the Control Room)
McKAY: The last Zero Point Module is depleted, but limited power. Turned out that our generators aren't going to hold back an ocean. Life support systems are working but the planet's atmosphere's breathable -- well, notwithstanding the inevitable allergens.
WEIR: So now can our naqahdah generators supply enough power to the shield for defensive purposes?
McKAY: Not even close.
SHEPPARD: On the surface without a shield? We're target practice.
McKAY: I'm acutely aware of that, Major, but thank you for reinforcing it.
SHEPPARD: When can you tell me where the Wraith took Colonel Sumner and the others?
McKAY: Even with the six symbols Lieutenant Ford provided there are still hundreds of permutations ...
SHEPPARD: Seven hundred and twenty.
McKAY: Yes. I knew that of course. I'm just surprised you did.

Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Remarks at the Recommissioning Ceremony for the U.S.S. New Jersey in Long Beach, California
December 28, 1982
Secretary Lehman, I thank you. Captain Fogarty, the officers and members of the crew, the other distinguished guests:
Secretary of Defense Weinberger would be here, but with all of us here he felt that someone had to stay in Washington and mind the store.
Surrounded by all this Navy blue and gold, I've had the strange feeling that I'm back on the set filming "Hellcats of the Navy." [Laughter] That was a picture that was based on a great, victorious operation of the Navy in World War II in the Sea of Japan called "Operation Hellcat." I remember at the time I was in love with my leading lady. She is Nancy, my wife, and I'm still in love with her, but I have to confess that today I find myself developing a great respect for the leading lady in these ceremonies. She's gray, she's had her face lifted, but she's still in the prime of life, a gallant lady: the New Jersey.
I'm honored to be here for the recommissioning of this mighty force for peace and freedom. Putting this great ship back to work protecting our country represents a major step toward fulfilling our pledge to rebuild America's military capabilities. It marks the resurgence of our nation's strength. It's a strength we can afford. We cannot afford to lose it.
Since the founding of our Armed Forces during the Revolutionary War, our country has always done without large standing armies and navies. Our great success story—unique in history—has been based on peaceful achievements in every sphere of human experience. In our two centuries of continuous democracy, we've been the envy of the world in technology, commerce, agriculture, and economic potential.
Our status as a free society and world power is not based on brute strength. When we've taken up arms, it has been for the defense of freedom for ourselves and for other peaceful nations who needed our help. But now, faced with the development of weapons with immense destructive power, we've no choice but to maintain ready defense forces that are second to none. Yes, the cost is high, but the price of neglect would be infinitely higher.
Another great power in the world sees its military forces in a different light. The Soviet Union has achieved sheer power status only by—r I should say superpower status only by virtue of its military might. It has done so by sacrificing and ignoring achievement in virtually any and every other field.

XXXVII President of the United States: 1969-1974
214 - Remarks on Presenting the Defense Distinguished Service Medal to General Earle G. Wheeler.
July 9, 1970
Mr. Secretary, General Wheeler, Mrs. Wheeler, and distinguished guests:
This is a ceremony that will only come once in terms of this White House because General Wheeler has served longer as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff than any man in our history--6 years--probably longer than any man will serve in the future.
He also will receive for the first time a new decoration, a new medal, the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, which will be presented to him, the first of its kind.
After that, we will try to maintain the level and the distinction of the medal in terms of those to whom it is presented.
In talking about General Wheeler--and I know that he has been through many ceremonies over the past few days and weeks, looking toward his retirement as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs--there is not much that I can add, except to say this:
He is known as a soldier and he is proud of being known as a soldier. He is known among his colleagues at the Joint Chiefs as a great planner and strategist, and he is naturally proud of being so designated.
I know him as a statesman. In the meetings of the National Security Council he is a man who can wear his military hat, as he must always wear it in representing the views of the services, but who can also represent the views of the whole country in the best spirit of statesmanship; one who thinks deeply and very profoundly about national and international issues.
He has made an enormous contribution to the procedures and also to the thinking in the National Security Council, not only in Southeast Asia, but in the Mideast, our arms talks, and the rest.
I think as time goes on we will look back on the years that General Wheeler has served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. They were difficult times, difficult in terms of a very difficult war in which we were engaged. But I think we will also look back and recognize that these were the beginning of other times, other times in which the United States moved in various areas throughout the world toward using our strength toward building a sound structure for peace.
For that reason, I am very happy today that so many of his colleagues in the armed services are here to honor him and so many Members of the Congress who have worked with him are here to honor him.
Now, the Secretary of Defense will read the citation of the new medal which, for the first time, will be presented to General Wheeler.

At that point, I took off two stars from the jacket epaulet on my shoulder, which seemed to be the type used for award stars on United States military medals and ribbons, and I was aware that left me with three stars on my shoulder.
So as I was wondering after getting out of the shower is that I could have just had a normal dream. But I could have just dreamed that final star symbol I need.

I wonder why I have these memories of two particular training exercises on the Taylor. One was that simulator where the locked us into a ship compartment, banged on the bulkhead to simulate a missile hit, and then flooded the room with cold river water as we were supposed to fix the hole. The compartment would have flooded if I hadn't open a porthole in the bulkhead. Before that was the boiler room simulator where I was the Number 1 hose man and had to go into the building with the water covered with burning oil under the deck grating. I had to push the flames back with the hose and I was so close to hyperventilating that I was breaking the face mask seal of my breathing apparatus. It was also so dark I couldn't see a single thing. I had no idea the fire was even out.

I thought after waking up about a dream I awoke startled from but I forget now some of the details. The part I remember now is that I seemed to be on the mess decks of the USS Wainwright CG 28 and there were some other details before that but that is the part I cannot now remember. I was on the mess decks of the Wainwright and I seemed to be wearing the dungaree uniform of a U.S. Navy enlisted sailor and an officer, who I think was the actor Danny Glover, sort of reprising his role in the 1991 film "Flight of the Intruder" sat down across the table from me and was delivering a form to me that was my performance review. I thought he indicated that my score was all 5.0 which is the highest rating, although I don't think that is consistent with the U.S. Navy and is something from somewhere else, but as another person seated next to me pointed out, my ratings were actually all marked in the column for 7.0, which was well off the chart, so to speak. I also noticed a '10' for some undefined item that was at the top of the list in that column of 7.0 ratings but I do not know what it was, other than it would indicate and impressive rating. There was another number just below it but I cannot visualize what it was but it might have been a '7' and that was also unheard of. Danny Glover might have said some things to me but I cannot now remember what it was. It seems that just after that, a group of sailors were being called away from the mess decks to another location and that group was all the Chief Petty Officer selectee's, which included me after I received that performance review. I noticed what seemed to be some sailors from foreign navies in that group as well. Some sailors were in khakis while I saw at least one or two other sailors in dungarees as I was wearing. We were going into some kind of compartment where Danny Glover, who was with us, was, I guess, going to talk to us. To enter the compartment was a narrow entranceway in the bulkhead that you had to get down on the deck and crawl through. I awoke with a start and a heavy sense of claustrophobia because I was stuck in that entrance. I saw a few other sailors enter into it with no problem. But when I went through, my shoulders got stuck. I managed to continue through but then my abdomen got stuck and that was when I awoke with a start and that really bad feeling.

JOURNAL ARCHIVE: Annapolis
When memories of being above the clouds come to mind, I reminded for flying on passenger aircraft, staring out the cabin window, especially from 1984 and 1985 when I remeber flying home several times and spending a lot of time in the air.
The were two 2-man teams on the helo deck. I was usually the person in front with the guy behind me with a hook to grab the wire from the helo. I would then connect the cables.
There was that brown leather jacket I used to love to wear, they were fashionably called bomber jackets.
Donald Mills truck, something I liked about the engine, but it was rather utilitarian, if that's the right word, it was just a work truck, it wasn't as cool as my trucks. I used to like to modify the carburator for some reason. And there was the time the roof liner fell on my head one day I was driving. Mom told me one time I was driving too fast when I passed by the house in that truck.
Something has been nagging at me a few days about the possibility of being a carrier aviator. Why can't I remember the traps? the carrier landings....why can't I remember the 3-wire? And even that stuff I just wrote about, I can only associate with seeing in movies.
Then I was thinking about a time in 1985. I went home on leave and the Taylor, without me, make a port call to Annapolis and my shipmates were telling me about it. There were two teams of two men, including me, that worked on the helo deck during landing operations and one of them was telling that the cable broke during that visit. Then it stuck me like a hammer. The cable. That blasted cable with the funky connector. I was the first one on the Taylor that had to run out underneath the hovering Seahawk and perform the first exercise of the RAST system. We didn't have the other end of the cable from the helo that our cable connected to so on my first test, I only had the advice of my Chief Boatswains Mate. Standing there under that helo, I nailed it perfectly and ran back inside. Other times, we had to perform an exercise where we transfered a fuel cable to the hovering helo, but that was nothing compared to a RAST, especially in bad weather.
I wonder why I had that dream a while back where I was talking to Fleet Admiral Nimitz? I can't remember what we were talking about. I remember that I was still thinking of myself as a former PO2 back during the time of the dream. I wonder if it was a clue to get me thinking about the USS Ronald Reagan, which I think is a Nimitz-class. Maybe it means that I am on track to become a Fleet Admiral myself someday. Although, I don't know, I need to look this up, but I think they only award that 5th star for extraordinary circumstances. In my current memory, I know only of that one 5-star and that was because of WW2.
I had a dream last night about something but I can only remember one detail. There were 5 Medals of Honor hanging near me and someone said they were mine. That would be consistent with other thoughts I have had for a while and could be the 5 stars from that dream where I was talking to Nimitz. But I still don't actually remember any specific details. It's hard to say what I actually remember. I seem to remember something, but I don't consciously remember anything from my real life.

Congressional Space Medal of Honor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Congressional Space Medal of Honor was authorized by the United States Congress in 1969 to recognize "any astronaut who in the performance of his duties has distinguished himself by exceptionally meritorious efforts and contributions to the welfare of the Nation and mankind." The highest award given by NASA, it is awarded by the President of the United States in Congress's name on recommendations from the Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The award is a separate decoration from the Medal of Honor, which is a military award for extreme bravery and gallantry in combat.
Although the Congressional Space Medal of Honor is a civilian award of the United States government, it is authorized as a military decoration for display on U.S. military uniforms due to the prestige of the decoration. In such cases, the Congressional Space Medal of Honor is worn as a ribbon following all United States Armed Forces decorations.
To be awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, an astronaut must perform feats of extraordinary accomplishment while participating in space flight under the authority of NASA. Typically, the Congressional Space Medal of Honor is awarded for scientific discoveries or actions of tremendous benefit to mankind.
From 4/6/1965 ( premiere US film "In Harm's Way" ) To 7/9/1970 is 1920 days

Navy Enlisted Classification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) system supplements the rating designators for enlisted members of the United States Navy. A naval rating and NEC designator are similar to the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) designators used in the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps and the Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) used in the U.S. Air Force.
The U.S. Navy has several ratings or job specialties for its enlisted members. An enlisted member is known by the enlisted rating, for example, a Machinist's Mate (or MM), and/or by the enlisted rate, for example Petty Officer First Class (or PO1). Often Navy enlisted members are addressed by a combination of rating and rate. In this example, this machinist's mate petty officer first class may be addressed as Machinist's Mate 1st Class (or MM1).
However, the NEC designator is a four-digit code that identifies skills and abilities beyond the standard (or outward) rating designator.

I am a fire controlman, a petty officer of the United States Navy, my work is the operation and maintenance of the weapons aboard the fighting ships of the Navy, I am required to know, operate, and maintain intricate scientific precision instruments.
To do this, I must have a thorough knowledge of the work of an electronics technician, machinist's mate, gunner's mate, machinery repairman, operations specialist, and engineman.
My aim in life is to know my job; to know everything that pertains to practical gunnery and ordnance.
As long as there is any operation or piece of equipment I do not fully understand, my job is not complete.
In the event of war, I must be prepared for any emergency.
I must be capable of and competent to fill my station, or perform any operation in the weapons department of my ship; to assume command of, spot, or control the fire of any battery.
In addition to being competent to perform any operation, I will strive to know my maintenance duties so well that I may maintain the battle efficiency of my ship, even on a darkened ship, under enemy fire. This to the end … that the ship may fight

ELECTRIC SERVO
In an electric servo, a bearing-mounted synchro operates a set of contacts that control the supply voltage to a servomotor. The motor drives when the synchro closes the contacts. The response from the motor drives the synchro in the opposite direction from the synchro's signal and opens the contacts. Thus, the servo operates until the synchro signal is reduced to zero. Figure 1-6 shows a bearing-mounted synchro and figure 1-7 shows the electrical arrangement of the servo. The servomotor is a 115-V ac motor with split phase operation. The capacitor in the circuit shifts the phase of the voltage to one of the motor's windings. The contacts deter-mine which winding will receive the shifted voltage, and hence which way the motor will drive. One side of the line voltage is connected to the common point between the stator windings of the motor. The other side of the supply is connected to the center contact, which is connected to the rotor of the synchro. A signal to the synchro causes the center contact to rotate

USS NASSAU
Edwards was still in the twilight of anesthesia when he heard the electronic gonging of the General Quarters alarm. He was only vaguely aware of where he was. He seemed to remember the helicopter ride, but his next impression was that of lying in a bunk with needles and tubes stuck in various parts of his body. He knew what the alarm meant, and knew intellectually that he should be afraid. But he couldn't quite work his emotions up through the drug-induced haze. He succeeded in raising his head. Vigdis was sitting on a chair next to his bed, holding his right hand. He squeezed back, not knowing that she was asleep. A moment later he was, too.
Five levels up, Nassau's captain was standing on the bridge wing. His normal battle station was in CIC, but the ship was not moving, and he figured that this was as good a place as any to watch. Over a hundred missiles were inbound from the northeast. As soon as raid warning had been received an hour earlier, all of his boat crews had set to lighting off the smoke pots set on the rocks in this so-called anchorage. That was his best defense, he knew, hardly believing it himself. The point-defense guns at the comers of the flight deck were in automatic mode. Called R2D2s for their shape, the Close-In-Weapons-System Gatling guns were elevated twenty degrees, pointing off to the threat axis. That was all he could do. It had been decided by the air-defense experts that even firing off their chaff rockets would do more harm than good. The captain shrugged. One way or another, he'd know in five minutes.
He watched the cruiser Vincennes to the east, steaming in slow circles. Suddenly four smoke-trails erupted from her missile launchers, and the missile firing cycle began. Soon the northeastern sky was a solid mass of gray smoke. Through his binoculars he began to pick out the sudden black puffs of successful intercepts. They seemed to be coming closer, and he noticed that the missiles were, too. And the Aegis cruiser could not get them all. Vincennes emptied her magazines in four minutes, then bent on full speed to race between a pair of rocky islands. The captain was amazed to see it. Someone was taking a billion-dollar cruiser into a rock garden at twenty-five knots! Even off Guadalcanal-
An explosion rocked the island of Hrappsey, four miles away. Then another on Seley. It was working!
Ten miles up, the Russian missiles switched on their radar seeker heads and found their target windows crammed with blips. Overloaded, they automatically scanned the largest for infrared signatures. Many of the blips gave off heat, and the missiles automatically selected the largest for their attention as they made their final Mach 3 dives. They had no way of knowing that they were attacking volcanic rocks. Thirty missiles got through the SAM defenses. Only five of them actually aimed themselves at ships.
Two of Nassau's R2D2s swiveled together and fired at a missile traveling too fast too see. The captain looked in the direction of the barrels just in time to see a white flash a thousand feet overhead. The sound that followed nearly deafened him, and he realized how foolish it was to be exposed when fragments dinged off the pilothouse next to him. Two more missiles fell into the town to his west. Then the sky cleared. A fireball to the west told him that at least one ship had been hit. But not mine!
