VLS- Vertical Launch System. GM's used to be split GMG and GMM for Guns and Missiles respectively. MK41 VLS contain the "cells" that hold the missiles on DDG's and CG's. They launch Standard Missiles, Tomahawks, Vertically launched ASROCs, and a few…

Yes, I watched Crommelin and O'Kane pull in this morning. Welcome back from a job well done.

Likely it is a case of "The Grass is Always Greener" syndrome. Everyone stationed at Pearl Harbor claims Kailua (near K-Bay) is so much nicer. Sailors at K-Bay want to live in Waikiki. The facilities are definitely nicer on the southern bases (Pearl…

April, Hopefully he has been in contact with his sponsor and has arrangements for someone to get him from the airport.

Sorry, I am a bit slow on this one. Lily, if there is a death in the family, the Red Cross is very capable of contacting the ship just as soon as someone can provide them with the information they need to release the message. Generally, the hospital…

Yes Melissa, they tell me it is shore duty. I sure do go to sea a lot though. I ride them all.

There should be no problem getting batteries on the ship. I always used a wind up one myself.

Most racks have an electrical outlet built into the light (some of the older ships do not). It is cramped in there when you are trying to sleep and most people prefer not to have anything plugged in while they sleep. Be reminded than any personal el…

I am missing the part in that link to NMAWC home page referencing too many STG's on a ship. Yes Marla, I do know your husband, we were stationed together at Whidbey Island as well.

Depends where in England they are coming from and how much gas they are authorized to burn. I would guess between 9-12 days. You are quite right about the JO's. It is the reason Chief's age quickly, trying to keep the new Ensigns from unraveling the…

That's exactly the culture we have Melissa. Makes me laugh a little just thinking back on how far things have come in the Navy. I was on Chung Hoon today as a matter of fact (as well as Russell and Chafee). If you have a sailor on a ship in Pearl Ha…

Deb, I just shot an email to some shipmates at the ASW base. Hopefully I get a response back tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, the seats are controlled by TSC, not necessarily by STG's at the base. I am sure they have some influence, but TSC will det…

Morale on ships swings like a pendulum. I always just try to make sure that everyone gets a fair shake. With their "incident" onboard, I would expect an investigation is already in progress. The goal is not to fry someone, it is to figure out why it…

STG's are very versatile. Experience with electronics, ammunition, and watch standing. IA's are delegated down from off ship as far as how many nominees need to be provided. Nominees are screened and they select the best fit for the job with the lea…

Melissa, the last STG I had go IA is going to be a driver. Your son should be able to find out what type of billet he was submitted for. Remember that just because he has been nominated doesn't necessarily mean he will be picked up. As far as does y…

Andi, the next available (for your husband) A school class would not class up until Jan 4 or 11 depending on the holiday plan in Point Loma. Depending how many sailors are already on hold may make it even later.
