Isikole samanzi angaphansi kwesikole (BESS)
Ngemizuzu embalwa nje, laba basolwandle abazobe bevalelwe kuleso sikhala, balwe nokuvuza okuvela emipayipi namaflangeni, kanye nezinga eliphezulu lamanzi ekhuphuka, ngomzamo onzima wokuthi "basindise isikebhe."
Kodwa, kulowo msebenzi, ngeke babe yedwa ...
Ngokusheshisa ukuvula umgwaqo ohamba phambili ovela kumqeqeshi omanzi, elinye iqembu labase-Sailors lizilungiselela ngokwabo ukugcina umkhumbi. Kuphela, ingozi yabo engaba khona ngeke ibe ngamanzi; laba basolwandle abazimisele kakhulu babezobhekana negumbi elimnyama eligcwele ubusi nokushisa, umlilo ophuzayo.
Ngokushesha izigaba ezimbili zabafundi zaziyobe zihlukumeza ukwenza imisebenzi emibili ehluke ngokuphelele. Kungase kube khona okungafani nokuphuma okungafani nomlilo namanzi, kodwa ekuqedeni imisebenzi yabo emele, Abase-Sailors basebenza emgomweni owodwa ojwayelekile-ukuzama ukuqhubeka.
Njengabafundi esikoleni se- Navy Basic Enlisted Submarine School (BESS), abafundi sebeye babhekana nokucindezeleka nokucindezeleka kwaleli sonto lokugcina lokuqeqesha. Abaqeqeshi bakhonza njengesibambiso sokugcina kwabakwa-wannabe basemsebenzini ngaphambi kokuqeqesha iBESS, befaka inqubo yokufunda inyanga yonke.
Ukubaluleka kwosuku akulahlekile kubafundi, noma.
"Ngempela usuku nosabe sonke," kusho u- Seaman Brandon Nims, njengoba ekulindele ukuqeqeshwa komlilo. "Kunamanye abantu abalahlekelwa ukulala. Ngiyazi ukuthi ngangingesabi kakhulu, ngiyazi nje ukuthi lokhu sekuphela kwaBESS. Akugcini nje ukuqeqeshwa ngathi. "
Ukwengeza ekucindezelekeni kwalesi senzakalo kuyisici esinezimpikiswano zesimiso sokuqeqesha isonto.
Ngaphambi kokugcina kwamaqembu, bachitha ukuqeqeshwa kwezinsuku ezimbili futhi benza emqeqesheni omanzi.
Ukuhamba okusheshayo kwezandla-ekuqeqeshweni kwaba esinye isithiyo sokuba abafundi bawele.
"Ngicabanga ukuthi konke kuzoba kancane kancane," kusho ochwepheshe be-Electronics Seaman Recruit uJoseph Drawns ngemuva kokuvala isikhathi sakhe kumqeqeshi omanzi. "Kwakudingeka ube yizinyosi zakho. (Abafundisi) kwakufanele bavumelane nolwazi oluningi esikhathini esifushane, ngakho baqhubeka bexosha izinto emakhanda ethu. Lapho kufika isikhathi sokusebenza, ngezinye izikhathi kwakunzima ukukhumbula konke ngokushesha. "
Ukuhamba kweviki lokugcina kubonakala sengathi kubonakala phambili ngaphambi kwezintathu, lapho abakwa-Sailors-abaningi abaphuma khona ekamelweni le-boot-baqala ukubeka umgogodla wokuba umkhumbi wamanzi .
Indlela iqala nje ngaphambi kokufundela i-BESS, lapho abafundi abangaba khona bakwazi ukukhuthazelela umqeqeshi wokubalekela umkhumbi wamanzi. Umqeqeshi, oveza uhlelo olujwayelekile lwesitokisi sokuphunyuka kwamanzi angaphansi kwamamitha angu-637, uvumela abafundi ukuba basebenzise ukuqeqeshwa kwe-egress abafunde emfundweni eyisisekelo yokufundela.
Lokhu kuhilela abagibeli bamandla abaziphoqelela, abane ngesikhathi esisodwa, bangena emanzini okuphunyuka okuphuthumayo ukuthi maduzane agcwalise intamo-phezulu ngamanzi.
Bese banikela "i-Steinke hood," i-mask ephathekayo yezinhlobo ezivumela ukuthi abahamba ngezinyawo baphefumule ngenkathi bedonsa ngaphansi kwamanzi ukuze baphunyule itanki esivumelwaneni esingaphansi kwamanzi esivulela echibini lokubhukuda. Uma nje lapho, abaSawoli bahlangana ngephrofayili eliqinile le-huddle ngaphambi kokudabuka kokugcina ngaphesheya kwechibi. Into eyodwa ngokuqinisekile-uma noma ubani ekilasini i-claustrophobic, ngeke kuthathe isikhathi eside ukuthola.
"Yilokho okugcina oyifunayo emkhunjini," kusho ochwepheshe be-Information Systems Technician 2nd Class (DV) uC Curt Ramsey, omunye wabaqeqeshi abaqeqeshwayo. "Lokhu kufanele kubonakale labo abangase babe nenkinga nayo. Phakathi kokuba ne-hood eduze kwesimo sakho kanye nemvelo eqinile ye-tank, akekho okufanele akwazi ukusikhohlisa. "Naphezu kokwesaba okukhulu okubangelwa yi-claustrophobia, uRamsey uthe iningi labantu abesaba ngaphansi kwezimo bayakwazi" ukuvuselela futhi uqede ukuqeqeshwa.
Ingxenye yokuphunyuka yesikole yayimangalisa kubafundi abaningi. "Ngangingazi ukuthi kungenzeka ukuphunyuka i-sub," kusho u-Drawns. "Ngacabanga ukuthi kwakukuhle kakhulu kuwe uma isikebhe sakho sehla. Nganginakelela ngempela ekilasini. "
Futhi leyo mfundo yokufundela ekilasini ikhethwe kubafundi abaningi echwebeni, kusho u-Seaman Recruit uJoshuwa Henderson. "Ukuphunyuka kwakuhle kakhulu, kepha kwachazwa kahle kakhulu ngaphambi kweklasini. Ngakho sazi ukuthi benzeni lapho singena khona. "
Abafundi bavala usuku oluphumelelayo kumqeqeshi wokuphunyuka ngokwenza ukuphunyuka kwamadoda amabili okwaqeda ekufundeni ukusebenzisa i-raft single-man. "Wonke umuntu ube esexoshwa ngemuva kokuthi siphelile," kusho uHenderson. "Sonke sasijabule ukuyiqeda."
Umqondo wokufezekisa awuvunyelwe ukuhlala isikhathi eside, noma kunjalo. Ngeviki elilandelayo, abafundi bezemfundo abaqeqeshwayo baphumelela kubheja babo olusemthethweni lwe-BESS.
Okulandelako yisikhathi samasonto amathathu wokutadisha okufundela ekilasini okuyinto inselele abafundi nsuku zonke. "Kwakunzima kakhulu kunalokho engangike ngilindele," kusho uMachanist kaMatey Fireman uMichael Bybee. "Ukwaziswa kwagxila emakhanda akho ukuze ungabi nesikhathi sokuphefumula. Kwathatha cishe cishe yonke yesibili esasilapha. "
Ngokuvumelana nezwi likaBebee, usuku olujwayelekile lokufundisa lwaqala ngo-7 ekuseni kuze ku-4: 00 ngehora lesidlo sasemini. Phakathi naleso sikhathi, abaqeqeshi baqinisekisa ukupakisha izifundo eziningi ngangokunokwenzeka ngosuku lomfundi.
"Kuyinto okufanele siyenze ngempela," kusho uMongameli (SS) uJohn Roberts, omunye wabafundisi bakaBESS. "Amasonto amathathu kubonakala sengathi isikhathi eside kubantu abathile, kodwa uma unezinto eziningi ongakufundisa ngazo njengoba senza, udinga sonke isikhathi ongayithola. Sifinyelela kuzo zonke izinhlelo kanye nemishini enkulu esikebheni. Kuyinto eningi imininingwane. "
Ukufunda lonke lolo lwazi kudinga isikhathi eside kunosuku lokufunda lwabafundi. Ngemva kokuphumula nxazonke ngo-4 ntambama ukuze uphumule futhi udle isidlo sakusihlwa, cishe bonke abafundi babuyela endlini yesikole ngo-6 ntambama ngamahora amathathu okutadisha ebusuku. Ukuphumula okujwayelekile kakhulu kusifundo samanje kunikezwa abafundi abaphumelelayo ekilasini.
Yengeza lokho ku-5: 15 ekuseni ngesikhumbuzo sokudla kwasekuseni, futhi abafundi be-BESS bayazi ukuthi bahlala usuku olude.
"Kwala masonto ambalwa, lolo suku lwaluyinto ngaphandle kwesikole," kusho u-Drawns. "Khona-ke uphonsa ekufundeni ebusuku, futhi unesikhathi esincane sokukhululeka phakathi nesonto. Kodwa kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uzonda kangakanani ukufunda ebusuku, uyayidinga ngempela. "
Ucwaningo lwalobusuku luba usizo kakhulu kubafundi phakathi novivinyo lwabo olulodwa olukhulu ngesikhathi esikoleni. Bonke abasolwandle esikoleni kumele badlule ukuhlolwa ukuze baqede ukuqeqeshwa kwesikole samanzi .
Kungemva nje kokunqoba umqeqeshi wokuphunyuka futhi egijima endlini yesikole ukuthi abafundi bakwazi ukuphikisa inselelo yamanzi nokushisa komlilo.
Kungomzuzu abajabule ukubona. "Ngemuva kokuthi angenzi lutho kodwa ehlezi ekilasini amasonto ambalwa, wamukelekile," kusho uBybee. "Isikhathi sonke ubheke phambili abaqeqeshi. Uzohlala uhlale lapho uphinde uphuphe ngokulwa nemililo futhi uphakamise ukuvuza. "
Uma ekilasini lifika kulelo phuzu, leli qembu lihlukaniswa kabili futhi lishintsha isikhathi sezinsuku ezimbili kumqeqeshi ngamunye. Ngamunye, usuku lokuqala luphela usuku lokufundela. Abafundisi basebenzisa lesi sikhathi ukuhamba ngezimo eziyisisekelo kanye nemithetho nabafundi. Usuku lwesibili lokuqeqeshwa yilapho zonke izenzo zenzeka.
Kwabafundi bomqeqeshi womlilo, lokho kusho ukugqoke ngokugqoka impi ngokugcwele nokubhekana nezimo ezihlukahlukene zokuqothula umlilo, kuhlanganise nokusetshenziswa kwezicima umlilo, ama-hoses, nama-breathing devices.
Isikhathi sonke, abasolwandle balwa nemililo yangempela kuphela ekamelweni lokulawula. "Lokho kwanezela isiteleka esisha," kusho u-Bybee. "Ukushisa okuvela kulowo mlilo kwakukhulu. Kwakusungulwe, kodwa kwakungokoqobo. Asizange sibhekane nalokhu ngaphambili. "
Ukushisa komlilo kungenzeka ukuthi kwakungokoqobo, kodwa abafundisi baseduze ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi ukuphendukela kwemvelo kuqhutshwa ngokuphepha. "Sifuna abafundi bazwe ukuthi kwenzekani emlilweni wangempela wamanzi," kusho u-Firefighting Instructor MM2 (SS) u-Laurence Georghan, "kodwa, ngezigaba ze-BESS, konke kuhlelekile futhi kunzima. Sidinga ukuqinisekisa ukuthi konke kwenziwa ngaphandle kokulimala. "
Ngenkathi beqinisekisa ukuphepha, abafundisi bayakha ukuqeqeshwa esiqongweni esibhekene naleso simo esihlola lokho abafundi abaye bakufunda ezinyangeni zangaphambili zosuku. "Ngemuva kokuthi sibahambise futhi sibazise ukuthi basebenzani," kusho uGeorghan, "siwashaya ngesimo lapho umlilo uzophuma khona, futhi kufanele banqume ukuthi yiluhlobo luni lwe-agent oluzokhipha umlilo. Sisekhona ukuze siqiniseke ukuthi akukho okungahambi kahle, kodwa kuleso simo, abafundi be-BESS bayazilawula kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili. "
Ngesikhathi isikhathi sesiphelile, abafundi kufanele bakwazi ukulwa namalangabi ezinhlobonhlobo zomlilo uma kunesidingo.
Labo abaqedile isabelo sokushisa umlilo baqedwa kuphela ngesonto, kodwa. Okulindeleke kumqeqeshi omanzi kunamaphesenti angaphezu kuka-20 000 wamanzi aphefumula angaphandle kokuvuza okungu-12 ohlelweni olulungisiwe lwegumbi lenjini engaphansi yezinga le-SSBN 650.
Kulabo abangasetshenziselwa ukukhuphuka kwamanzi aphezulu, ukuvivinya umzimba ukulimala kungaba yinto ehlaselayo. "Izinga lamanzi likhuphuka ngokushesha," uNims uthe ngesikhathi sakhe kumqeqeshi omanzi. "Kusobala ukuthi uvula amehlo akho ngalokho okungahle kwenzeke lapho. Uyazi ukuthi konke kulawulwa, kodwa kungahle kube yinto esabekayo. "
Kodwa ekugcineni, abasha abasha BESS bayazi ukuthi ukuqeqeshwa okungenzeka ukuthi ekugcineni bazisebenzise, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi bafuna noma cha. "Kumele siyazi ukuthi uma siphumela esikebheni," kusho uBybee. "Ngithemba ukuthi angizange ngiyisebenzise, kodwa ukwazi inhlanhla, kuzofika kahle."
