1.A sailor will clean your home with you.
From mopping the
floor, washing the car, bathing their children and also preparing the dishes!
There are no wives or mothers on board, so sailors have to do all their
personal chores and clean up their own mess by themselves
2. A sailor will fix almost anything that gets faulty.
From
squeaking doors to clogged drains and damaged toilet-flush to jammed juicers.
They develop an eye for fixing things immediately.
3. A sailor takes proper safety precautions at home and outdoors with the family.
Be it crossing the road, driving, climbing ladders,
using machinery and so on. ‘Safety First’ is the motto of every ship and this
gets embedded in everything they do.They follow the line “NO WORK IS SO URGENT
UNTIL WO DO NOT HAVE TIME TO DO IT SAFELY”.
4. A sailor is always on time.
Punctuality at their
workplaces is the reason people on land get their stuff delivered on time and
rescue ships save the lives of all those in danger. That is the reason a sailor
will never make you wait.Time is USD Dollars for them.
5. A sailor can fight fires.
They have been attended more Fire
Fighting Modulars compared to spending time with their girlfriends. Being
trained in fire fighting even before they join their ships, they are efficient
at fighting fires. From electrical to cooking oil fires, they are quick at
reaching the extinguisher to restrict and eventually extinguish the fire.
6. A sailor can give first aid treatment in an emergency.
They are trained in basic medical first aid as there are no doctors on most of
the ships. Performing CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) or saving a person
affected by hypothermia, they remain calm and act when it comes to saving
lives.
8. A sailor is not shy of doing any kind of work.
They
inculcate the dignity of labour right from the time they join their ships and
practice it even when they are on vacation. Helping their spouse in routine jobs at home or doing odd jobs that most
people consider to be beneath their dignity, sailors do them all. They don’t care
what others think about them!
9. A sailor wears the uniform.
The navy uniform is one of
the most respected uniforms and very few get the privilege of wearing it. Those
epaulettes which adorn their shoulders leaves everyone admiring if not jealous.
10. The most important point is that a sailor will stick with you through thick and thin.
In all those moments of celebration and also
those of mourning. As I mentioned earlier, the journey through life is like
sailing over the high seas and a sailor knows how to sail the ship through calm
waters and even the most violent storm.They are the Real Heroes!
