week 4

In this week we tackled in BST are how to enter in a confined space, Neil Robertson Stretcher and Army litter, and the different types of carries. (Examples of carries: Fireman’s Carry, Pack-Strap Carry, Chair Carry, One-Person Arm Carry, Two-Person Carry, and Two-Person Arm Carry.)

Sir Bosun first told us in how to enter in an confined space, First Get an Entry permit in order to start working in an confined space and this permit only last in 8 hours. Then check the oxygen level if it’s 21% you can go in the confined space without wearing a SCBA. Finally he told us the necessary equipments when working in a confined space is: Flash Light, First Aid, SCBA, and Life Lines.

Then after the lecture at 10:00H we went to the smoke house for practical in entering I a confined space there are two cadets one is the tender and the other one is the wearer. First the wearer will go in the confined space or enclosed space the he will contact the tender with a pull. One pull is are you ok, and two pulls is I’m going ahead. Three pulls is I’m going back, and four pulls is send help.

On Wednesday still in BST Sir Bosun told us about the Neil Robertson Stretcher and Army litter, and the different types of carries. The Neil Robertson Stretcher is designed to remove a casualty form confined space or enclose space. Because its design to carry the casualty vertically. And “the Army litter is collapsible, made of canvas, and supported by wooden or aluminum poles. They are used aboard ship only for mass casualty situations”

And finally he teach us the different types of carries, practically the fireman’s carry is the easiest way in carrying an casualty. The Pack-Strap Carry can be used to move a heavy casualty for some distance. Chair carry is when the casualty is sitting on a chair by two people.

In physics we tackled are the falling body and the projectile motion. The falling body is when the object was drop, thrown vertically upward. The projectile motion is when the object was thrown horizontally with high angle.

Week 3

In this week I learned In MaShop the Different hand tools and the dial gauge. The dial gauge or the dial indicator measures the roundness of a circle. Examples: such as pipes.

In physics we tackled about the free falling body and try to solve some problems in relation to our subjects.

In BST we tackled about fire fighting were group to 3 and we had our assigned jobs the 1 cadet was the hose man ( he is the one who hold the hose) and the other 3 cadets was supporting the hose man because the pressure of the water is very strong. And the 1 cadet is assigned to be the hydrant man ( he is responsible in the opening and closing of the fire hydrant). And the other cadets was supporting the hose to prevent the hose from braking.

Week 2 in the yr 2008

In this week we learn about in boarding and unboarding a life boat. The cadets are divided into 3 groups and the 8 cadets will row the boat and the other two cadets are the painters (painters are the one who secures the ropes to keep the boat in place).

In Mashop we tackled in the different type of bench tools or so called hand tools, Examples: wrench, hammers, chisels, hand taps, screw driver, and saws. And talked about: what is its use? What are the different kinds of safety procedures? What are its functions?

In swimming class we tackled about the side stroke and the butterfly stroke. The side stroke was very hard to do. But, I managed to get it but sir told me to just practice some more in order to master it.

Expectation in this school year

I am expecting to improve my self in my studies in practical and theory. And also to prevent my self in committing school violations. Also to have confidence in oral examinations and to answer them fluently and in swimming I will try my best to pass the practical exams. And I will try my best to have a high grades in all my subject in order to get high grades to be praise by my parents. I hope I will improve in every mistake that will happen in the near future.
