This is how I spent my day. After 1 day on the computer and 1 day in practical application, I am now a certified TASER instructor. Here are a couple of the other students that took "the ride". I am not in this video.
Yesterday I completed my official instructor certification training for the Army. I am now officially instructor qualified.
This is the instructor badge that instructors are supposed to wear at the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Center and School. My peers call it "The Push-to-Talk Button."
The instructor training doesn't really teach you anything - it's more a test to make sure you are an OK public speaker and you know not to fraternize with the students. After more than 20 years, I think I had that figured out.
Getting this badge for me was sentimental and exciting.
Sentimental because when I came on active duty as an officer in 1992, I remember all of the instructors wearing these badges and thinking it was a mark that set them apart. They were a part of something that I was trying to figure out.
Exciting because since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be a teacher. I thought maybe I'd be a high school English teacher at one point, then I thought I'd maybe teach philosophy to undergrads. Then life gets in the way and you wind up spending a couple of decades doing other stuff you never really thought you'd be doing. But next Wednesday I will stand in front of my first real class - and I will finally get to do what I have always wanted to do. Oh, and I'll be teaching graduate-level Macroeconomics. It's a long way from Shakespeare, but a rose by any other name - well, you know the rest.

Tim Lee is the School's Chief Instructor. He was invited to visit two boatbuilding programs in Ireland during the summer of 2011. During his time in Ireland, he took the opportunity to travel as widely as possible, and in the process amassed quite a collection of pictures of Irish boats, including gandalows.
Gandalows are inshore fishing boats used on the Shannon Estuary in Ireland, at the head of which is the city of Limerick. It is believed the boats were originally called "gondolas", and that they may be somehow related to the north American dory.
That said, they were relatively simple boats, often built by the fishermen themselves. Traditionally, gandalows were about 23 feet long with a beam of about 5 feet. They were built of long spruce boards from Canada or Norway fastened to native oak or elm stem and stern posts. Similarly, the frames were sawn native oak or elm as well. Gandalows all had transoms, and were not double-enders. They're flat-bottomed boats with a pronounced rocker from one end to the other, usually about 5 to six inches above the middle of the boat, and the planked sides have a pronounced flare.
The boats were used by three men pulling three banks of oars - the two forward men using pairs of thirteen foot oars, and the after man using an eight foot set. The boat's length was optimized to work against the short, steep chop found in the estuary when the tide was ebbing against the wind. Most gandalows could be sailed. In the 1950's, as the outboard motor took over the position of the after man, the boats were shortened to eighteen feet, and that's the length you'll see today in the estuary for the most part.
You can see an Irish one here: irishwaterwayshistory.com/2012/05/10/the-limerick-gandalow/
When Tim returned to the Olympic Peninsula, he brought with him detailed measurements of several gandalows, and built one with the Traditional Large Craft class. His boat sold almost immediately and was shipped to its new owners in the Bay area in California.
The boat built by the 2012 Traditional Large Craft class was 14 feet long. It was planked with western red cedar and had black locust stem and stern posts. Bottom planking was also western red cedar, and the sawn frames were gotten out of cedro rana. It was certified to safely carry 630 pounds and no more than 5 people at that weight limit, with a 700 pound maximum capacity.
During construction, Tim Lee was interviewed by the podcast "Hooked on Wooden Boats". You can listen to the interview here: hookedonwoodenboats.com/howb-025-tim-lee-master-wooden-bo...
The information presented here was drawn from the book "Traditional Boats of Ireland" edited by Criostoir Mac Carthaigh, and published by The Collins Press in 2008, supplemented by what Tim Lee was taught in Ireland about these boats.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school. You can find us on the web at www.nwboatschool.org .
Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.
