Hey , excuse me . Who are you ? And

00:03.220 --> 00:05.220
where do you work ? Hey , I'm Petty

00:05.220 --> 00:07.164
Officer Mason . I , I work for the

00:07.164 --> 00:09.053
auxiliary division on Coast Guard

00:09.053 --> 00:11.220
cutter James . Can I come to work with

00:11.220 --> 00:10.659
you today ? Yeah , sure . Let's go .

00:11.640 --> 00:13.418
Today . I went to work with the

00:13.418 --> 00:15.307
auxiliary shop on the coast guard

00:15.307 --> 00:17.196
cutter James . Today we worked on

00:17.196 --> 00:19.362
transferring fuel between fuel tanks .

00:19.362 --> 00:21.473
We went down to a machinery space and

00:21.473 --> 00:23.696
got to work first MK one Griffin showed

00:23.696 --> 00:25.807
us how to line up these fuel transfer

00:25.807 --> 00:25.299
valves in the correct sequence . In

00:25.309 --> 00:27.531
order to send fuel to the right place .

00:27.531 --> 00:29.600
We got the system lined up , went to

00:29.610 --> 00:31.666
the transfer console and started the

00:31.666 --> 00:33.943
pumps . While we watched the fuel move .

00:33.943 --> 00:35.888
We had people on the deck above us

00:35.888 --> 00:37.888
sounding fuel sounding allows us to

00:37.888 --> 00:39.888
measure fuel capacity by depth . We

00:39.888 --> 00:41.832
wrapped up and went on to the next

00:41.832 --> 00:43.999
project . Have you ever wondered how a

00:43.999 --> 00:45.999
cutter has enough fresh water for a

00:45.999 --> 00:48.054
long patrol ? We take it . This is a

00:48.054 --> 00:50.221
reverse osmosis machine . This amazing

00:50.221 --> 00:52.277
machine converts salt water to fresh

00:52.277 --> 00:54.221
water by sending the water through

00:54.221 --> 00:56.221
microscopic filters . We prepared a

00:56.221 --> 00:58.332
cleaning solution and emptied it into

00:58.332 --> 01:00.443
the cleaning reservoir . The mks told

01:00.443 --> 01:03.619
me that the RO can make 240 gallons of

01:03.630 --> 01:06.839
water . Every hour . I caught up with

01:06.849 --> 01:09.949
MK two Samsung and MK three Midas for

01:09.959 --> 01:13.379
one last job . MK three Midas grabbed a

01:13.389 --> 01:15.611
pipe and a pipe wrench . And we went to

01:15.611 --> 01:17.870
the boat deck , they bolted it on and

01:17.879 --> 01:20.150
snugged it down . It was a productive

01:20.160 --> 01:22.327
day and I learned a lot . Now , I want

01:22.327 --> 01:24.271
to know how many of you wanna be a

01:24.271 --> 01:25.430
machinery technician in the Coast Guard .
