At what point do you know its time for full time elder care? When do I know its time for an old age home? My father got blindsided by a gall bladder surgery and has been in the hospital twice more after the surgery. He is home but somewhat confused, his blood sugar dropped to 47 one day and is convinced that his insulin raises his blood sugar. He fell 3 times in the last week. He is definitely against going into a home.

He is 82 years old and lives alone.

You would think that they would encourage solar everywhere here but they just introduced a "fee" for thoes individuals that feed their excess power into the grid.

We are a backwards state in a currently backwards nation.

Well in short, they shove a qualification card in your hand the day you show up at the command.

The "qual card" has a list of each and almost every system on the ship. Communications, Damage control, piping, wiring, torpedo, sonar, missile compartment, engineering, almost everything. You start somewhere on the card and study, ask questions and study more. When that is done you go to someone in that department he will ask you a shit ton of questions and determine if you have a "entry level" understanding of the system in question. If you do you get that one section signed off and move to the other sections. On my first boat the qual card had a requirement of 108 signatures (Daniel Webster SSBN 626) It took me 5 months to qualify, if you dont do it in a reasonable amount of time they will send you to a surface ship.

Once the signatures are done there is a Qualification Board started and you are asked about different systems, like an overview and how the systems work together.

Then you are either passed or failed based on their recommendation.

You get a qual card for each boat you go to, it is considerably easier to get qualified on your second boat, depending on weather or not you are going to a different class of boat.

I respectfully disagree that you deserve the pain. It was a mistake your brother would have told you so.
