Trying to decipher what is being said on our radios is another story. You have the mumblers, you have the ones that sound like they are drunk, and then you have the ones that sound like they are saying something, but you can’t figure out what it is.

This is a place where good communication skills are essential for maintaining safety and security. Then why are they hiring Africans and other people from foreign countries that can’t speak English. By the time I retired, one African had even been promoted to lieutenant. I could NEVER understand anything he said. By the things he did, it was obvious that he wasn’t qualified to do the job. Even if you had to fill quotas of minorities and women, there were much better choices than this guy. Instead of hiring someone that can speak the language that the people of the United States chose when this country was formed, we are given an idiot that we can't understand. Maybe they figured that if we couldn’t understand him, we wouldn’t discover that they had promoted somebody that was not competent to do the job. Well, if so, they were wrong.

With all of these different people calling on the radio, it sounded like the United Nations, and we had no interpreter.
