摘要：	Decking on a conventional tug or towboat will never be a safe space, whether for millenni-als or anyone else. It's inherently risky. And while the risks may be mitigated, they can never be eliminated. Many young workers were raised by dangerously over-protective helicopter parents and received subpar schooling. They may have underdeveloped innate survival instincts, especially for what is needed in a dynamic industrial workplace. The harsh reality on tugs is that a new "greenhorn" deckhand with no previous tug experience must initially be treated very much like a toddler who is looking for the nearest electric outlet to stick a fork into. Members of the baby boom, Generation Jones and Generation X are fully responsible for the broad state of incompetence their children, with their participation awards in tow, often bring into the workforce, but it's our obligation to remedy it. It's no easy task, nor should it be. We're just reap- ing what was sown.
