Nuclear Powered Real Estate?

So, what skills that I learned as a nuclear plant operator in the Navy  transfer into what I hope will be my new career as a real estate agent?  Well, probably none, but when you consider the abilities that came with those skills and have added much to the person He is building (often despite my efforts more than because of them), there may be some that add to the possibility of succeeding in my new career.  It has been an 'interesting' trip so far and I'm sure with the folks I have come to know at Go Realty it will continue the same.
On the surface there seems to be no direct correlation between operating a nuclear plant on a ballistic missile submarine during the Cold War, and succeeding in the real estate field; however as I've thought about it there are aspects of my service that does equip me to succeed:

• Obviously any warship is not operated by any single individual; the complexity of such a ship demands a team of people working together to maintain and operate the ship in order to fulfill whatever mission it is called upon to perform
• Attention to detail is imperative; failing to notice even an initially minor problem could over time result in a  casualty that is capable of sinking the ship.  This is especially true of the nuclear powered submarine that is designed to remain submerged at unheard of depths for an extended period of time
• Somewhat tied into the above, honesty in facing personal shortcomings and being willing to ask others  more experienced for help (and to be accountable to them) is critical.  
• Flexibility is key; regardless of your 'job' on the ship, each crewman had to be able to respond to any casualty throughout the ship.  Failure to do so could compound any emergency into something that would jeopardize the ship and its crew.

The person I am now has been building for some time and all that I will be has yet to be revealed as I am, as are we all, a work in progress (Philippians 1:6).  I look forward to sharing my journey (past, present and future) here with you and welcome suggestions.  Shalom.
