Navy still take care of its own?
The 1974 Purdue Graduate Engineer, in Rocky Gordy's group of electronics technicians at Union Carbide, got hired as an electronics technician because the Chief Electrical Engineer was a junior kARL rOVE snake in the grass. Maybe a married father -- Russ Morgan -- placing his hand on Linda Moore’s behind in plain view of “B52-46-07” is proof enough for most of my audience. Or, how about ex-sailor Morgan -- in his Chief Electrical Engineer Office -- pimping his 14-year-old daughter when I turned down his, “We are promoting you to non-degreed engineer!”
“No thanks Mr. Morgan. I would rather be a Senior Technician like Fred Scott.”, thwarted my promotion with no pay raise. Sign one print and an engineer reporting me got me fired. Now that is office politics that the Navy Intelligence spies at 5700 W. Raymond in Indianapolis would gladly accept as a good reason to fire me -- fired with cause.
Where was Bureau of Labor protecting Linda Moore and catching a Chief Electrical Engineer perpetrating sexual harassment? And I would have testified against Morgan. He would have denied pimping his under-age daughter.
About that time, one of the assemblers was sliding a wooden pallet past my test bench while I was concentrating very hard on electronics with my hand about 2 inches away from the "440-can-jump" zone. The wooden monster was very close as the punk slammed it down on the industrial concrete -- perfect timing for me to get electrocuted and nobody goes to jail (unless there is a good Indianapolis cop or if we had F.B.I. or industrial surveillance on me?).
My boss had placed me on the Union Carbide Product Safety Committee at 5700 W. Raymond in Indianapolis. Maybe I made an engineer angry -- motive for attempted murder with that loud noise behind me and surprising me when my hand was 2-inches-away-from-electrocution-on-440-VAC !!!
The 1967 Navy had memorable safety classes. The jerk was still behind me after I pulled my hand safely away from lethal voltages. "No harm! No foul!" does not apply. Bureau of Labor and Police Departments should have their budgets increased so white collar crimes like that or possible attempted murder crimes are investigated properly.
Since I was a Navy Veteran when the pallet was willfully slammed down when my electrocution would have been adjudicated an accident, “DISCRIMINATION AGAINST A VIETNAM ERA VETERAN” was already on the books when the jerk tried to electrocute me without getting caught -- no fingerprints on wooden pallets. My paycheck was more important than putting Chief Electrical Engineer Russ Morgan in jail for “MURDER 1” -- na, na na, na nah, ya missed me!
GOD loves drunks and fools. “B52-46-07” is the former, but not the latter.
I think my 1967 Navy Aviation Electronics 16-week course -- completed in 10 weeks -- proves the above. GOD is my copilot!!!

Dear Taxpayers and inept planners:
The care and feeding of a GEEK is the least understood problem in the United States’ Department of Labor. Allow me to illustrate?
Before “HOMELAND SECURITY”, we sailors had a saying, “LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS !!!”
Good moral character is probably why the F.B.I. descent Christians probably underpaid me from 1972 till 1987?
Ask my ex-wife why I got the cold shoulder at the only Union Carbide picnic she attended and then ask her about the dog training club accepting me? My bad attitude might explain the answer to that question in ways making my audience blush.
Manhattan NUKE BOMB on the Hiroshima project showed how Eisenhower was a kARL-rOVE-JERK. Dr. Oppenheimer saved a lot of Uncle Sam’s troops. We treated our P.O.Ws. much better than the WW2 enemy did -- Battan Death March. “Trail of Tears” stops the War College from puffing themselves up!
Australia Veterans will wash McArthur’s feet with their tongues if he were still walking on this earth. So argue the 2 NUKES dropped on Japan in a beer bar in the Australian Outback.
"I like iKE" should have never promoted Edward Teller over Dr. Oppenheimer. Dr. Oppenheimer should have been given an option, “Build the Hydrogen Bomb with us or we will build it without you?”
Stalin getting a NUKE 1,000-times more powerful than Uncle Sam’s NUKES was erISENHOWER's only good decision, and it came close to “I like iKE” interstate highway system -- done on the cheap not like Gremany's Autoban.
DEPLETED URANIUM violates nuclear non-proliferation bringing on the “Book of Revelation” quicker than GOD prays for. GOD’s boss is probably a woman that loves baby back ribs!
Large Scale Integrated Circuits were new to my productive career while at my 1972 Government job in Naval Avionics Facility at Indianapolis.
The accountants (bean counters) and Naval Officers stationed there called my job description “ELECTRONICS MECHANIC”! you put up with anything they can do to make you mad when you love powering up your Christmas present to work in “STATE OF THE ART” or cutting edge technology.
J.D. Perry -- a coworker at 1974 Union Carbide -- expressed his small paycheck this way, “… the name on the check is part of your pay!” He was married with no kids like my marital unit. We even socialized with his wife and him, once.
J.D. is a smarter technician than I am, but I had the advantage of knowing when to swim up stream. It helped that our boss had a boss that flew off aircraft carriers in WW2. I was almost fired a few times from the 1976 machine that was welding NUKE SUB parts and Space Shuttle parts at Naval Air Station Jacksonville. You have to fire with cause where I worked.
In 1972, I asked Paul Zobel a question he could not answer on the “hot project” Paul had assigned to Ken Hickman and myself. Ken Hickman was an Army Radio Repairman. Ken had kids. Ken needed the answer also, but I was elected to go talk to the Project Engineer in 1972 Indianapolis. His answer was exactly like Paul Zobel’s answer.
Ken was not very pleased when I got back to my bench right next to Ken’s duplicate bench. So we “SUITCASED” what our College Graduate Engineer had no clue as to how to help his “ELECTRONIC MECHANICS”. Ken used my marked up working print whenever that modern inconvenience reared its ugly head again.
Ken and I socialized with a much better result than snobby J.D. presented in front of my bride.
