The last ship

The drama is about..

Naval Destroyer Nathan James is sent on what they're told is a research mission in the Arctic. Accompanying them is scientist, Rachel Scott. After a few months in the Arctic while Scott is on the ice doing research, some men attack them. They get back to the ship and the Commander, Tom Chandler asks the doctor what's going on. She says that a deadly disease broke out a few months ago. At first, they thought it was contained but they had no cure. They felt that the cure was in the Arctic which why she's here. But she has since received word that it has now spread to most of the globe. Chandler tries to call the President but learns the President and Vice President are dead and the US government might not have long to survive. The current President tells him that the Nathan James was not in the hot zone so he and his crew are OK. But now it's up to them to safeguard Scott because she holds the key to the planet's survival. But there are those who want the cure too and they will do whatever they have to, to get it. So they keep going and trying to find supplies and what they need so Scott can make the cure.

The USS Nathan James is in for a rough week. What a horrible mess the ship is in now. This means no showers, no shaving, no flushing toilets, no bug juice and – worst of all, no yummy coffee. A ship without coffee is like a ship without a moral compass. On top of all this crap, Scottie is malingering in medical. She seems to be sick but I think she is just plain feeling kind of blue. Poor kid, if it was up to me, I would give her a medal or better yet, a terrible. That's it, she needs a terrible, that would definitely brighten her day. But damn it, there are no tribbles in this episode. The CHUNG just needs to shake off whatever is bothering her and get down to engineering and fix her damned ship. Oh the agony. Well – alas - that just ain't going to happen…her dilithium crystals are all broken up like the rest of the ship. Wow, am I ever befuddled. I need a serious mind-meld. Without Scotty, who will fix the ship? Who will save the day? Who? 

Not to worry…engineering has an Ace up their sleeve. Kind of a diamond in the rough if you may. It took a bit, but someone finally lit a fire under the Main Propulsion Assistant (MPA)'s butt. I thought the guy was a real slacker at first. But I was wrong. The guy really stepped up his game and took over for his boss. Of course I don't want to get too far ahead with praising the guy. He kind of caused all these problems in the first place. So he is a bit of a goof. But in the end, he did come through and saved the day. With those heroic actions, I think the man is well deserving of a solid Bravo Zulu and maybe even a medal - or maybe even two?

The lesson learned from the scene is leadership skills through Cap. Chandler's character

Thankfully, Captain Chandler’s character is also a good strong man and taking the advice of the master chief also a good strong man, he gave the President a more compelling narrative and he gave him empathy, trust and belief.  As the President began embracing his role as Commander and Chief and President of the United States he had been very unsure of himself.  It came out how unsure he was of himself in this new role in this recent episode when he went to the mess hall to meet some of the crew for the first time and couldn’t actually bring himself to go around and shake hands with anyone let alone decide what he wanted to eat for lunch.  He gracefully got out of the situation.  He then opened up conversation with Master Chief about his lack of confidence in himself by commenting that he was supposed to be able to make decisions for an entire country and he couldn’t even make a decision about what to eat for lunch.  Captain Chandler had asked Master Chief to follow the President and be whatever he needed father, son, brother, preacher whatever he needed to be to the President that was needed.  The levels and layers of leadership are evident.  Chandler is a strong leader, Master Chief is a strong leader, so is the President when he comes around.  And he does…

Master Chief asks the President how many people worked for him when he was in his position with the State.  He changed course when the President balked at that question.  He instead said something interesting, the Navy has been studying leadership since 1776 and knows a lot about it.  He said between the “XO, the Captain and myself, we have 67 years of leadership experience behind us”.  He was basically reading off his credentials to give weight to what he was about to say to the President.  He first showed the President that these 3 aforementioned men were men to be inspired by, in awe of, respected so the following message would be read loud and clear.  We are worthy, and we who are worthy believe you are also worthy.  He shot him with hope.

  Leaders are not born, they are made, he told the President. We believe in you, he said.  What a dose of hope and encouragement.  A few scenes in, it is evident that the President was inoculated with such courage and confidence that he commits to the task at hand.  The task of becoming that leader for the country that Captain Chandler and the rest believe him to be.   No small task and he began by taking A step.   He made a decision to make himself.  He then broke down his journey into bite size pieces.  He was eating the elephant one bite at a time.

1. He got educated as educated as he could.  He read reports from the Navy’s journey since the pandemic outbreak of the virus.  He read up on the “job description” of the President essentially, then he asked to read more reports upon reports, any military intelligence they had obtained.

2. He sought out to understand the current situation.  He briefed himself on reality.  He observed reality, those in the field, those doing the hard work.

3. He trusted and believed that he would know what to do next if he didn’t already know.   The next decision he made was to take the reins and give the US Navy a plan for taking back America!

It was so powerful to watch this episode and see so many wonderful leadership lessons play out!  A leader is made not born over bits and pieces of decisions, observations, experiences, passions lit, hopes squelched a leader never ceases being on the journey to being a leader and along the way they never cease leading.http://www.thelastshiptnt.com/

SURVIVAL ISN'T ABOUT WHO YOUR ARE, BUT ABOUT WHO YOU BECAME TO SURVIVE

Despite the fact that many situations they encounters are completely unrealistic.  We can learn a lot from how quick thinking and improvisation gets them out of a wide-range of jams, and many of the techniques that we see on screen are actually the same things that the military teaches soldiers.  Let’s look at a few things that you can incorporate into your own survival skill set in order to improve your chances of coming out of a life-or-death situation unscathed.

Having the Right Attitude

we can learn  how to thrive in difficult circumstances. when are taken out our element, given challenges and encouraged and expected to tackle them head-on. Quitting, complaining, worrying and running away are not characteristics of the attitude that is being instilled into our minds. The result? Capable, adaptable and confident adults.

Listening Before Acting

we must be able to listen and take assessments of situations before making decisions. This helps to avoid making poor judgment calls and decisions that can have serious negative consequences. This is an essential survival characteristic that all of us need to keep at the front of our minds. Making rash decisions or acting on impulse could lead to injury or death.

Being Responsible

every one must be accountable for their actions, and others depend on them to make good choices. we must know when to ask for help, understand that decisions we make will impact others, and don’t pass the buck when are wrong. Responsibility is a process of trial and error that refines us through our mistakes and gives us the confidence to lead.

These are just a few of many characteristics that we develop and carry with them later in life. They are also essential for survival.   While we experience much of hands-on training in wilderness situations, its the character formation that really helps us to succeed, and it can help us as well. Remember that tools and skills only go so far, and our attitude and character will also contribute to how we contend with survival situations.!
