CLEARWATER, Fla. — When Noah Song was training on a P-8 Poseidon aircraft in Jacksonville, Fla., preparing for a deployment to Japan, the Navy would put him in certain situations. Sitting in a cruise simulator, Song would have a different crew, a different flight, and a different scenario almost every day.
“They’d throw World War III at you,” Song said. “The entire kitchen sink.”
It taught him something. In those moments of uncertainty, Song would take a step back, and lean on his preparation. He liked to keep it simple.
