    I would love to do so. I have much written down already. As far as my memory is concerned, I still remember most of the serial number of the Engine of the Diana (<<<Enchanter,).
    The main engine was a Perkins T6,-354 meaning it was turbocharged ( with turbo made by the company " Holset,"; the engine had a displacement of
    354 cubic inches, the tranny was a hydraulic tranny made for boats called a ",Velvet Drive made by GM etc tell you all about the variable pitch propellor system as I rebuilt/ and/ or redesgned it in drydock.
    The generator was originally made by Petters but was replaced by a ,,'<Vetus" engine made in the Netherlands which was basically a Mitsubishishi engine with a German transmission.
    I personally had to remove and rebuild all of the above after the 1st Captain that was appointed; a man by the name of Thomas Schohenherr had been smoking dope in Freeport harbor before he sailed the boat to Curacao to meet the Freewinds the day before Maiden Voyage Anniversary. In I believe it was ,1990.

    Hello RB, I want to report a tiny typo in this post in case you ever want to post it again in the future.

    “Those guys are required my law …”

    should be …

    “Those guys are required by law …”

    I hope I got that correct. Sorry if I am mistaken.

    By the way, I love your posts. IMHO, you are hugely talented.

    Looks like Gary should pay the Org for the great honor of being allowed to clean the sauna. And he should also give them the $40 per hour from repairing airplane engines using his endless whole track experience that was only recovered thanks to LRH/COB.

    Where to start?

    LRH giving the middle finger on the “Registrars Are The Most Valuable People On The Planet” poster?

    “Ralph’s Rehydrated Water LLC”?

    The assertion that on some weeks Ralph’s pays even more than what the moonlighting Class V org staff earn at their org ?

    Thank you, RB for making it possible to end another work week with a few laughs. You are really good. Do you make your family laugh like this? They’re lucky 🙂

    Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone!

      Hey Aqua,

      Like most things associated with this criminal cult, “Ralph’s Rehydrated Water” is just ordinary tap water sold together with a bunch of LRH bullshit for $25 for a case of tiny bottles. The profit margin is almost as large as the bullshit margin.

      Don’t ever buy this bullshit product. It is just as worthless as everything else associated with this fucked-up cult.

    Gary could tell them that he is toilet trained and airplanes have toilets so he is qualified .

    Just to note scientology is not the only loony group here is my tale. In 1984 I left working for LA County as a Health Physicist (radiation safety inspector of licensees in LA County) for a job paying 30% more. The county advertised in the wrong media and offered 20% under what I had been making. After 3 months of no applicants it hit the Director of their hiring management that something was not right. My old boss and his director were called in for a briefing. They explained that the job qualifications called for a minimum of BS in the physical sciences and 5 years professional experience. The going rate for that set of qualifications was 60k per year, not the 36k that the county was advertising.

    Well, the hiring manager said that if the college requirement and any professional experience were removed then there would be lots of applicants at 36k. My old boss and director walked out, and the county did without for over 2 years. I lost interest in following it at that time.

    Thanks to Glenn too.

      As a guy with an old private pilot’s license, I wouldn’t want to fly on the aircraft he serviced. There are WAY too many things that a delusional “superman” can mess up by “knowing better”.

      Fred, that’s more than I had when I became the Repair Chief Freewinds. I arrived on the Freewinds. on Sept 15, 1986, the day thee “Church” took possession of the vessel.
      I had never worked on a ship before and had never seen engines 2 1/2 decks high before and now I had to overhaul the lot with no real training, just what little material aboard I could read. By the time I left I had personally overhauled every single piece of equipment down there
      I actually did overhaul an aircraft engine one night after I got off the ship; or so I thought. I had gotten AIDS dementia from having 13 years of HIV from a blood transfusion in 1989 and sometimes did not recognize my wife.
      After she went into gross Non-Compliance with Command Intention by failing to End,-Cycle on me as ordered by the Captain she had the audacity to take me to a hospital instead of taking me to a hospice “to die,” as she was ordered by Freewinds execs as I obviously had AIDS dementia.
      One night I went outside and spent the night rebuilding an airplane engine the ship had sent me to overhaul.
      In the morning I told my wife that I had to go back and finish the overhaul. She told me that there was no engine out there. I did not believe her and we spent at least an hour walking around the apt complex in Imperial Beach looking for it but we never found it.

        Glad to see you’re still here Bill. The entire organization should be taken down just for what it did to you. Hope you write a memoir.

          I will; if I happen to live long enough.
          If there is anyone out there who is interested, I will be happy to give them half of any money I could make if they would like to assist !e. Of course that is entirely up to you.

        Bill,

        It sounds like you got:

        Instant Hatting… “a sort of an action you do when you slam somebody onto a post and he’s got to take the load of it and so forth and you tell him what you want him to do. That’s just instant hatting. You tell him what his post title is and what he is supposed to be doing on that post. Instant hatting! Tell him to get on with it.”–FEBC 6, 7101C23 SO11.

        I never did look up the definition of:

        Repair Chief… “is in charge of all repairs, does only repairs and has under him electrical, electronics and plumbing as well as motors, machinery, etc. All non-watch electricians and electronics are under the Repair Chief.”–Flag Order 1958, 26 April 1969, “E/R [Engine Room] General Org”.

        I lay odds that you had a happy engine room, Bill. I know that I had six happy weeks on The Freewinds in the late 1980’s. I can only imagine the grit and grind necessary to get that vessel to Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao (not to mention other ports).

        You’ve been handed some impossible tasks. You are a survivor.

        Thank you, Bill.

    When Gary works on the plane, you’ll fly the Friendly Skies of Untied.
    Maybe Unbolted.
    For sure Unsafe.

    Excellent RB.
    If Gary has the ability to clean saunas but wishes to work on airplanes then maybe scrubbing their toilets is the right fit for him. No doubt that job pays more than his current one.

      *I* don’t, but might concede that it works as designed, not as advertized. The “student Hat” degraded my ability to comfortably study, and his organizational policies never allowed the orgs to pay a working wage, despite the incredible prices for services that people paid and pay.

      I finally wised up, how does LRH define “works?” Same way Miscavige defines “Ideal” (truthfully spelled, ‘I deal’). Both result in money obtained.
      Yep, something to this definition caper…
