Chapter 213: Chapter 166 "Professional Construction"_2
"Is it recognized by the state?"
"It doesn’t need state recognition; as long as our Police Station recognizes it."
"What major did he study?"
"He studied electrochanics. Once he gets his diploma, we’ll send him to our alma mater for the Third-level Second Chief Engineer training. Captain Wang will personally teach him how to maintain the machinery - hands-on practice will definitely not be an issue. As for qualifications in mariti services, we have our own ships, so that’s not an issue either."
In the midst of the conversation, Old Zhang had already maneuvered the 002 to its berth beside the Dunship.
Han Yu looked up and was startled.
Liang Xiaoyu was actually hobbling out to et them, supported by Old Qian, with the aid of crutches.
His foot was exposed, swollen and purple, even oozing pus.
"Xiao Yu, what happened to your foot!"
"Salted fish, I... I was bitten by a snake."
"What snake bit you, and where were you bitten?"
Liang Xiaoyu scratched his neck, looking embarrassed, and said: "A few days ago when I went back to see my mom, my dad saw soone else catching eels with a long bamboo trap and he made dozens of traps. I was helping him collect the traps in the morning and was too busy, accidentally got bitten by a snake."
Han Yu was completely confounded, climbing aboard the Dunship to ask, "Last ti it was food poisoning, and this ti you’re bitten by a snake. How co sothing happens every ti you go back ho!"
"I won’t go back anymore."
"Don’t say nonsense, you’re the only son of your parents, how can you not go back?" Xu Sanye glared at him, admonishing, "You should still go back and check on them, but be more careful in the future. Don’t eat what you shouldn’t, and don’t do what you shouldn’t."
"Yes."
"Go back to your dorm for now; don’t run around if your foot hurts."
"Oh."
The Third Team of the Port Supervision Bureau still has three people.
Besides Director Jin who joined, there were two staff mbers: Old Qiu who couldn’t make it last year due to an appendicitis, and Old Huang, a demobilized soldier placed in the Port Supervision Bureau last year.
Old Huang was a volunteer soldier in the military (equivalent to a non-commissioned officer nowadays), learned to drive before demobilization, and now drives the jeep assigned to the Third Team by the Port Supervision Bureau.
After so pleasantries, they put the luggage in the dormitory, and followed the Director and Old Zhang to the command and dispatch room on the second floor.
Xu Sanye opened the safe, proudly pulling out a stack of certificates.
"Salted Fish, see this? This is my Seaman’s Certificate, this is the Seaman’s Service Book, and these are my Four Small Certificates, as well as those of Old Li, Old Zhang, Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen, and Master Zhou."
"You all have big certificates!"
"Our Police Station was established around this ti last year, and 001 and 002 were commissioned then too, aning we all have twelve months of mariti service qualifications."
Xu Sanye flipped through five or six certificates like dealing cards, hehe smiling and saying, "This is the Fifth-class Pilot Certificate, Old Li, Old Zhang, Baogen, and I now all have the qualifications to operate 002.
By this ti next year, we will have twenty-four months of mariti service qualifications and can apply for the Fifth-class Navigator certification, upgrading from chanical Driver to Navigator."
Inland River Crew Certificate, Seaman’s Competence Certificate, Seaman’s Service Book, Basic Safety Training Certificate, Lifeboat and Rescue Boat Training Certificate, Firefighting Training Certificate, and Ergency First Aid Training Certificate...
All the big and Four Small Certificates required by inland river crew mbers can be found here.
While browsing through them, Han Yu chuckled and asked, "Director Xu, what about the chanical Engineer for the 001?"
Without waiting for Xu Sanye to speak, Old Zhang sat down with a smile and said "Baogen and I are learning. It’s always good to have more skills, having only the Fifth-class Pilot Certificate isn’t enough. But the exam for Third-level Second Chief Engineer is a bit troubleso; at best, we’ll have to wait another two years before we can get the Competence Certificate."
"Two years is two years, just take the exams slowly."
Xu Sanye laughed heartily, took out his own Seaman’s Service Book proudly and said, "In another two years, I will have thirty-six months of mariti service qualifications, and will have acted as the helmsman on a Third-level Vessel for a full eighteen months. By then, I can take the exam for the third-level second officer. Then I can go on to beco the Chief Officer, to beco the Captain!"
Han Yu didn’t expect the Police Station to beco more and more professional, and he couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Director Xu, it looks like you’re planning to steal my job."
"I’m not stealing your job, I’m just worried that others, seeing our success, may co to steal our rice bowl."
"People are jealous of us?"
"It’s easy to get third-level rit for saving soone onshore, but here in our place, saving a person or two is nothing special; you could even say it’s a routine affair."
Xu Sanye pointed to the 001 moored beside the Dunship, laughing, "Whenever there’s a danger in the North Branch Channel, people co to us for help. Plus, assisting the Port Supervision Bureau with rescue missions, we’ve saved over a dozen people who fell overboard in the past six months, and assisted five or six ships.
Last month, with the typhoon and flooding, we played a huge role. Captain Wang, Zhu Baogen, and I were the first to rush to Longyong Town, helping the Longyong Town Governnt and Longyong Police Station with the ergency rescue. Inland river flooding was severe too; Old Li and Old Zhou took 002 into inland rivers for rescue missions.
As long as 001 and 002 are here, and as long as we can steer the ship, there are more ritorious deeds than we can claim. Director Yang and those fence-sitters don’t even know how to allocate awards and accolades anymore. Don’t you think units like ours that can achieve so much would make others envious, wanting a share of the glory?"
Other Police Stations find it tough to achieve such results, but at Yanjiang Police Station, it’s quite easy.
Han Yu realized this and couldn’t help but ask, "So what do we do?"
"Easy."
Xu Sanye pointed to the various certificates all over the table, laughing heartily, "If they want to co here to gain experience, it’s not impossible, but they have to start as apprentice sailors. Only after fulfilling the mariti service qualifications and obtaining the corresponding certificates, can they truly beco a mber of our Yanjiang Police Station."
