A Typical Day

So some has asked what I do each day. We'll here is what I did yesterday:
0630 wakeup, get dressed, had to the Joint Operation Center (JOC) to ensure my powerpoint slides updating communications status was prepared by the my midwatch watchstanders
0700 Head to breakfast. Every other day I have a breakfast burrito.
0745 Kahki Call - the Deputy (2nd in command) puts any new word out, and some topics get discusses so we can all be on the same page
0800-0830 Operations-Intelligence Brief. This is where we brief our Commodore on all things important. It's at the SECRET level. It keeps us all aware and most importantly the Commodore aware. Usually he'll give out some taskers based on what we are telling him.
0830 Discussion with other officers on various topics, check SECRET e-mail
0930 Head to my office and check my Unclassified e-mail
1000 have discussions with my staff. They tell me updates on various topics (equipment status, personnel status, training, reports of all sorts).
1100 Lunch
1200 Jump onto any relevant tasker or project. On this day it seemed that one of our distant units was having some communications problem. So spend time trying to work through what their best solution would be and how we could get funds to purchase items to fix it. In the end the initial $2000 purchase was scaled down to a few hundred dollars as we determined what was the best solution. Sometimes it's not that easy. Often it takes days of e-mails back and forth to figure this out.
1400 Check SECRET e-mail again. We all don't have out own computers for official business, so we have to check periodically throughout the day.
1600 stop work and try to do some studying for my military courses
1700 head to dinner
1800 back to studying or watching a movie.
2000 workout
2100 shower and relax before bedtime.
2200 go to bed.
Not too exciting. About every three days there is a mini-crisis requiring something you have to work on right now. Usually if you stay ahead, you can avoid a crisis. But there are always things that come up. For instance, you have all heard about the Government Travel Charge Card. They made news a couple of years ago because military people were taking these credit cards that are supposed to be used for official travel and using them to buy flat screen TVs. So every so often someone pulls down a report showing who is delinquent on payment. Then you have to find out if the sailor is 'dink' because he is being fraudulent or hasn't received his travel claim from the Navy yet. Usually there is a good explanation and so you have to collect that data and pass it up. You always hope for the report that comes out and doesn't have any of your guys on it. The last report was that way. We do a lot of tracking and checking so that we are always ready for responding to a real emergency with our forces and dont' have to worry about these day to day things.
Any questions?
