One of the most interesting challenges for our technicians is providing air and water hygiene services for historic buildings such as The Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich. Obviously, water systems and ventilation were not as regulated in the past, and many historic properties have been altered in their layout and purpose over the years. Our teams really enjoy the challenge of bringing older properties into compliance, and helping their owners to ensure compliance – and healthy buildings – for the future. https://lnkd.in/eSz-YnDF #Legionella #compliance #healthandsafety #water #compliance #facilitiesmanagement #firesafety #kitchenextractfiresafetycleaning #TR19Grease #ventilation #catering

Its October 1944 & we have fulfilled our promise to liberate the Philippines. Offshore our fleet is supporting the invasion. However danger is on the horizon with a Japanese naval task force barreling toward it. Our main carrier battle group is away from the area & only support vessels carrying invasion supplies with small support carriers & their destroyer escort on station remain. It’s the intention of the Japanese to destroy those ships & break up the initial landing creating a 1941 Bataan scenario all over. The link tells the story of the Tin Can sailor's exploits as they engaged in a classic surface action. Today with hypervelocity munitions the distances will be far greater but the need to project power & strike with precision accuracy remains. In order to provide those precision munitions massive testing will need to occur & that’s where our #AeroGearTelemetry partners excel.  #AirArmamentSymposium#AeroGearTeam #CFSS#QUASONIX #AFTR-M#quasonix#telspandatasystems#OrcaTechnologies https://lnkd.in/grNcWRbx

Military Appreciation Month Special Report featuring Ft. Lauderdale “In Your Neighborhood” WSFL-TV - The Coast Guard’s motto, “Semper Paratus” (Always Ready), reflects their unwavering commitment to being prepared for any situation. The Fort Lauderdale station exemplifies this dedication through their diverse missions, skilled personnel, and community support efforts. The Fort Lauderdale station’s area of responsibility stretches from Boca Inlet down to Baker’s Haulover Inlet, covering the entire stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway and extending 30 nautical miles offshore. While search and rescue is a primary mission, the station also focuses on recreational boating safety, armed escorts of cruise ships and Navy submarines, drug interdiction, non-US citizen interdiction, pollution response, and more. This unit operates 24/7 to respond to any mission the Coast Guard deems necessary. Operating in South Florida comes with a high operational tempo and a diverse set of missions, posing unique challenges. However, the Fort Lauderdale station is equipped with a highly skilled crew, consisting of 60 active-duty members, 30 reservists, and a robust auxiliary force of 230 volunteers. These top performers in the service make it possible to handle the demanding operational environment. The Coast Guard faces a 10% shortfall in enlistment across the service. However, leadership at the sector Miami parent command is adapting by working smarter with available resources and fostering cooperation with local agencies. Empowering junior members is a key strategy in maintaining operational efficiency.

Silent Heroes: Cats and Their Contributions to Naval Warfare Throughout history, cats have been indispensable companions aboard naval vessels. Their stealth, agility, and natural hunting instincts earned them a permanent place in maritime tradition, playing roles that were both practical and emotional. Though often overshadowed by larger military strategies, the contributions of these "silent heroes" in naval warfare are a fascinating chapter in history. Guardians of the Ship One of the most crucial roles of cats aboard ships was pest control. Rodents posed a serious threat to naval operations, particularly in the age of wooden ships and long voyages. Rats and mice not only consumed precious food supplies but also gnawed on ropes, sails, and other essential equipment. Worse still, they spread diseases that could incapacitate an entire crew. Cats, as natural predators, were the perfect solution. Their presence kept rodent populations in check, ensuring the ship’s supplies and functionality were preserved. In the close quarters of a naval ship, this role was indispensable. A single rat infestation could devastate a vessel’s resources during a months-long journey across open seas. Cats’ ability to hunt silently and effectively made them unsung protectors of naval efficiency.
