FIRE DRILLS ON SHIPS TODAY

Yes Aunt Punkie what you mentioned is true. I have no children so never thought about attention span vs actual proformance at a LIVE FIRE DRILL.

I saw it as the new modern way of Today's Education. And the use of Videos & Electronic Devices was cool.

But I do think Fire is our Biggest Enemy on the Sea. Hands on is probably more appropriate to instill the Danger of Fire on Board.

I'm sure you have plenty of cute photos of Family members in Life Jackets to remember "Those Days" 😆

Thanks for the comment 👍

Peace and love ❤️

Personally I like the new way. But I understand the view of ableman. Even then the people who might need the information, rarely paid attention. Glad we no longer need to wear the life vests but have some great photos in that fashion statement.

Thank you for contributing your valuable opinion. Peace and Love

This is basically the same topic as the one previous.

My vote is "No", lets go back to the old method. I'm not saying that because I like standing in the hot South Florida sun. I say it because IMHO the new drills are useless in terms of giving cruisers a sense of how serious an actual emergency onboard a ship in the middle of the f---ing ocean can be.

Obviously this is just MHO, but I guess we won't know for sure until an actual emergency unfolds and the new muster drill methods are put to the test.
