Shadow Hawk Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster SOS = Save Our Souls. SOS, a simple easy to memorize morse telegraph message, distinctive: ...---... Three short, three long, three short. Easy for even the untrained to signal.

Since you are in the Navy I assume you have much experience (hopefully none in using SOS) more accurate information than us lay-people.

Shadow Hawk Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster cheers. When i was growing up I was always told that SOS was Save Our Souls. Since you are in the Navy I assume you have much experience (hopefully none in using SOS) more accurate information than us lay-people. I was a Navy signalman, and had to memorize all the morse code shorthand. In addition, my instructors (and later the Chiefs and LPOs) would 'make training fun' by including trivia as part of the training. Distress calls are always simple, easy to memorize, easy to repeat, easy to recognize. Because there are few things worse than saying "I need assistance" and having the answer come back "What did you say?" So, SOS, Mayday, November Charlie, one red parachute flare, multiple (3+) red flares, visible flames, black square over black circle (orange backround optional), waved arms, orange smoke, single gunshots at one minute interval, continous sound of fog signal, emergency radio signal beacon, dye marker, white strobe light, a square flag over a ball... (oh, lord, I am a internet know it all, won't someone please help?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narf the Mouse Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster No, its "Any plan where you *loose* your hat is a bad plan." And if your hat catches on fire, you'll probably loose it. Or at least part of it. Thus, any plan where your hat catches fire is a bad plan.
