BLUE Navy Sharks


I remember when the US Navy(7 fleet) pulled into Sydney & Perth Australia. The Captain said all my engineers have first leave off the ship. There hard work and dedication is what has gotten us to this port of call. I remember going to swim at the beaches in Australia these are shark infested waters. If a shark begins to circle your position. Stand your ground. Do not swim away do not act afraid; and if the shark hungry for a midnight snack darts towards you then summon up all your strength and punch him in the snout and he will turn and swim away. There are a lot of sharks in the world. If you hope to complete the swim you will have to deal with them.
So if you want to change the world go back down to the sharks.
If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope. A The power of one person. A Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jesse LeRoy Brown. He was the first African-American aviator in the U.S. Navy, a recipient of the Distinguished Flying Cross and even a young women from Cleveland native Summer Levert she’s the first black female boatswain’s mate in the U.S. Navy to hold the position of chief warrant officer . One person can change the world by giving people hope.
