US Navy Veteran. It's called "damage control". Repairing a ship under fire. Since gunpowder went to Sea, a great deal of effort has been spent plugging, patching, pumping, and praying. A lot of swearing to God that you'll be good, or swearing at everybody because they was there. >aside: "Why did you kill everyone in the house?"..."'Cause they was home."😇
Wouldnt want to mess with a person with a job like that. Thats a person, who literally steps into Murphy's Law, and dares Murphy to fuck with him, while undoing Murphy's work. The mindset and the cajones are up there.
Or the USS Samuel B Roberts had its keel and hull nearly blown in half by a mine but managed to somehow tell the ocean to eff off and repair itself enough to get back to a port.
"they survive by luck, skill, or spite" Something an uncle liked to say about soldiers in war when he watched war history movies I know it's some kind of inside joke or saying just for soldiers because he served and never really explained the phrase, 🤔 but this made me think about that phrase
“You’re an engineer, not a soldier.” Just minutes ago, this person (an ensign) called him a Lieutenant. If he has a rank, he’s a soldier. He just happens to be a soldier who fixes shit. Weird they let a lieutenant do this. He’s like a Captain in land branches (in the navy, Captains are in charge of ships… it’s a job, not a rank. Like having a colonel commanding a land base… Commander is her job, not her rank.) Lieutenants are in charge of people, not solo fixing stuff. Ferner should be a Sargent. Honestly, I feel like adapting water navy terms to space navy is… sloppy. Seaman First Class is just not applicable to the Void.
Why it's weird? Usually common soldier in all times just only know about fight. If y know how something works and moreover, can fix it, and do it fast - it's not level common soldier for sure.
That's what humans do, name things based on the past that not everyone remembers. Grenadiers were called grenadiers long after they branched out into other trench warfare tasks and common infantry were given modern pattern grenades. Seaman ranks will exist for far longer than even the floppy disk save icon.
Humans embrace chaos. We don't make order from chaos, we find the order within chaos and ride the wild hurricane. And as they say in The Martian... 1 problem at a time. Ams then the next problem. If you fix enough problems, you get to live.
I don't get the shock. The hull doesn't get fixed, everyone dies as the ship is destroyed anyways. Even if they survive initially they'd probably get hunted down or suffocate in whatever suit or pod they hid in. The only other option is to try and fix it and have a chance at surviving. If it's a choice of dying or living, one usually picks the latter.
Yes, but we're you out on the wing at 42,000 ft in a thunderstorm patching a hole clean through it with plate steel and a welder? Cause that's closer to what dude in this story was doing. Still, respect for any midflight repair in truth.

The meanest person I ever met in the Navy was a Hull Tech lol.
I cant remember if it was the Lexington or Yorktown that fought at midway with the dockyard repair crews still on board
Pretty sure it was the Yorktown.
Or the USS Samuel B Roberts had its keel and hull nearly blown in half by a mine but managed to somehow tell the ocean to eff off and repair itself enough to get back to a port.
What do you know? A ship full of john waynes and MGyvers.

Not bad, better than 95% of the AI generated dreck flooding RUclips. Upvote for you.
We are the most daring race possible
