Versatility

September 1b

I am thankful for versatility. Versatility is defined as the ability to do multiple things. Experts in a single field are to be admired. But to have knowledge and skills in several different things is a rare but valuable attribute and can contribute to success.

This is a photo of a vehicle I noticed in Gulfport on our recent trip there. It was obviously an amphibious vehicle, in other words, one that could float on water like a boat and then drive on land like an automobile. With some research I found that this is a Navy LARC-V, or Logicstical Amphibious Recovery Vehicle. I am not sure what its particular mission was in this case but I found out that this vehicle was very important in gulf/beach and New Orleans cleanup after Hurricane Katrina. Perhaps the vehicle is not as good as a boat and not as good as a truck, but it is a little of both and goes beyond what either can do separately.
