ET3 (SW)  TACAN/2M/WSN Combat Systems USS ROOSEVLET CVN-71

4 years in, 2 to go, but dropping 2 and re-uping for 4 more in August.

Graduation



Flown out to Bahrain then flown onto the deck of the ship. 6 Months Gulf right out of boot camp.

Flown Off the deck to make a school one week before pulling in on the next cruise.

Work




PINNED


Sailor Of The Day


Recognition
CAPT,
 
From Combat Systems, I would like to submit the following Sailors as worthy of special recognition for their exceptional professionalism and determination in pulling off this substantial job (including spending the better part of a day working aloft at the highest point of the ship) – taking it in stride, making it seem ordinary (although, with a typical five-year life span, it’s not every day that you get to change out a TACAN antenna):
 
ET1 Hastings
ET3 Pratt
ET3 Smithmyer
 
V/r,
CSO


*************************

Division Officer, “She came here as a TACAN tech but she was doing so well we sent her to WSN school and she graduated top of her class.  She does very well.  I’m sure she will be a first class before she leaves this command.  She also mentors the other females in the division even though she is younger than them.”

*************************

Have you hugged your kid today! I wish I could!

Congrats to her for serving and being special and congrats to you for raising such a fine child.

Your daughter is a great young lady and a fine American.
