Why are we running

Yeah, I mean, I can basically

We ran it twice this morning.
Won't happen again, sir.

Last week we discussed you
going in XO training next leg,

running a ship of your own.

That's what you want,
isn't it?

Yes, sir.
More than anything.

Well, based on
your performance yesterday,

frankly, I'm concerned.

You remind me of
myself at your age --

coming up the ranks,
new family back home.

Thank you, sir.

I'll tell you
what my skipper told me.

He said,
"Do what needs doing."

That means making the tough
calls no one wants to make,

no matter what's going on
around you

or back on land.

Is that him?
Your son.

That what happened
yesterday?

You get distracted
thinking about them?

If I'm honest, sir,

I've never seen myself
as much of a family man.

It's important to have someone
back home waiting for you.

Helps you remember
what we do it for.

I don't know if I'm cut out
for it -- you know, fatherhood.

You'll feel different once
he's smiling up at you.

The simplest things,

like a dangling key --
magic.

When they're little,
they just love you.

They don't know
any better.

Speak freely.

With Friedman laid up,
no word from Command,

why run a drill?

If an order comes down,
it won't be when

we're sitting around
drinking hot cocoa.

We have to be ready.

Even if we're on
our back foot,

I need to know

when I give the order,
you'll turn the key

and do what needs doing.

Without hesitation, sir.

It's Friedman, sir.

He's taken a turn
for the worse.

Where's that medevac?Still no response.

Well, keep trying them,
damn it.

There's no time.
They're prepping the mess now.

Park's never done

He says
he's reading up on it.
