the whole command had to go to the safety standdown meeting at the theater this week. i finally heard my first shark encounter story in the navy- the chaplain was on stage talking about suicide awareness and told a story about a guy he new on a ship a few years back who had jumped over board trying to kill himself. anyway, his plan didnt work, and he was still alive when he was floating in the water beside the boat. he shouted for help and a man on board heard him. just as help came, men up on deck saw a huge shadow of a shark coming straight for him and right as they were lifting him into the rescue boat,and the guy was safe, the shark swam right under it almost rippping him to pieces.
YAY!
anyway, so yea.i finally heard a shark story.
