Get In The Spirit of the CAREERPILOT Metaphor...
G=Pilot Needed
Could be used to show me your recognition that you need assistance in navigating "the challenging waters" of your career.
H=Pilot Onboard
Could be used to signal me that you "get" my intended message...it's not about me teaching you, it's about your learning. I use this signal flag in the careerpilot LOGO.
V=Require
Assistance
Beyond your recognition of the need, this could signal your actual request for my assistance... which would be followed by my PROPOSED SERVICES and FEES.
Y=Dragging Anchor
I don't like
to see your use of this signal.
It would be
telling me that you know what you are supposed to be doing, but choose to
procrastinate... or are temporarily delayed in the accomplishment of your
mission. Rather, signal for ASSISTANCE.

International Code Flags or Signaling Flags
Although you may never see them displayed except at fleet parades, around naval installations, and areas with heavy international shipping traffic, International code flags are used to signal between two ships or between ship and shore. Also called signaling flags, they are a set of flags of different colors, shapes and markings which used singly or in combination have different meanings.
Only a few colors can be readily distinguished at sea. These are: red, blue, yellow, black, and white; and these cannot be mixed indiscriminately. You will notice, for clarity, the flags shown are either red and white, yellow and blue, blue and white, or black and white; besides plain red, white, and blue.
In total, a ship's "flag bag" contains 26 square flags which depict the letters of the alphabet, ten numeral pendants, one answering pendant, and three substituters or repeaters.
One-flag signals are urgent or very common signals (see meanings to port). Two-flag signals are mostly distress and maneuvering signals (below).
CD= Need IMMEDIATE Assistance
ZL= Received but NOT UNDERSTOOD
DN= IN DISTRESS, Require Assistance
